All this happening because of Soros. It is designed to create more racism. It is backed by the same people who are trying to get trump removed from office. It is another divide and conquer. If you want to make change become an activist.

In las Vegas several years ago a white 30 something young man came out of Costco and was shot to death while holding his hands above his head. Someone called in that he was carrying a gun which he was. On fact he had a license for his gun which was never draw and he had a concealed weapons permit. They just shot him dead. Now it seems every week and every month we have people who being shot for no reason.

The police have a weapon and there is a fair amount of them that believe it is their license to kill. Taking a knee or raising your fist or your hand or justy plain sitting down one time a week is not doing anything to stop the needless bloodshed by these cops who cannot control their emotions.

If you want to be an activist then five minutes a week during the playing of the National Anthem will not stop those who believe carrying a gun gives them a right to murder. On youtube you can find a video of a white cop stopping this black in a fan. She argues with the cop and then her son gets out of the van and starts a small disturbance with the cop. He gets back in the Van and the woman speeds away. What does the cop do whose life is not in danger at this point pulls out his gun and fires into the van as it is getting away.

In New York we saw a big heavy set black man on the street tasered and then shot to death by cops out of control. Do you really think that taking a knee once a week during a song is ever ever going to change anything. It is being made into another race card thing when the process of hiring sane people to uphold the law has been broke for many years. I talked to a pharmacist a few years back and she said Cops and Fireman are the ones at the top of the heap who are involved in domestic violence.

If you want to make change then 5 minutes a week will go no where. Start an organization that demands new criteria for law enforcement. My experience with law enforcement is that you cannot meet more of a condescending group of people So get to meat of what you are trying to do. Kapernick's girlfriend is one of the directors of Black Lives MAtter. These multimillionare athlete think they are doing something with principle but they are doing nothing but thinking they are making a difference. Form a group Meet with the people in charge of your local law enforcement. Demand change and do it peacefully.
