    Trump stepped on his Johnson here.

    Wouldn't it be funny if after everything Trump has done and said...THIS was what brought him down??

    I'm well past the point where I care about the left censoring itself for the benefit of moderates. Let's stand up for what we believe in and let the world sort its own opinion out. I'm sick of the realpolitik and optics bullshit. If I had to pretend I'm not disgusted by everything and angry and tired I'd blow my brains out. A principled left is the only hope in the world.

    What will all those Trump supporters find to do for the time that they normally watch football games?

    How many Klan rallies can they go to?

    Sorry but all the multi-tools that I happen to have in my tool kits over the years while they all did have a knife those knives are all tinny tinny little blades.

    Not a blade that would be a threat to a small dog less along law enforcement.

    But it is a good try on your part to try to justify the murdering of another black man for those who do not know about multi tools.

    PS just check the TSA is now allowing most multi tools to be carry onto aircrafts.

    There is a pattern of violence against non-whites who encounter the police.

    One of the latest is a deaf guy shot 6 times because he couldn't understand the police - when by-standers were yelling that he's deaf.

    Will he get charged with murder? Like with the rest, the problem goes deeper than whether there is an actual charge.

    Things are just so HARD for you!

    Imagine. The rudeness to think that you should act in a civil manner.

    It's just all way too much, isn't it?

    The issue is whether there is free speech. I don't mean that to sound simplistic. There are issues of employment, contracts, etc.

    If someone burned a flag somewhere, I would have NO respect for that person. But, that really isn't the question.

    And, it's not just the NFL.

    No, we weren't "in" Vietnam for "right" reasons. We had no solution for the problems faced by the Vietnamese. We were there for the USA.

    Ten years after we left I could book a vacation there.

    Whether they were "going about lawful business" is not the issue.

    The police are shooting human beings when there is little to absolutely ZERO threat. "Suspects" or not, there has to be a legitimate reason to kill citizens.

    Castile, for example, did EXACTLY what he was supposed to do - what the police asked him to do. Yet, they shot him over and over again while he sat inside his car with his girlfriend and her young daughter.

    That is criminal. And, it IS race related. And, there is NO change taking place. What's happening is that the repeated dismissal of these cases proves that the police can shoot black citizens with impunity.

    Your dad's little talk with you is a ridiculous excuse for what is going on today. It demonstrates a giant hole in your understanding.

    I've been trying to think of the best way to put this to stubborn and ignorant leftists.

    The best way I think of so far is thanksgiving

    Imagine you go to thanksgiving with all your family and the food is layed out and your grandma wants to say grace before you eat and you say hold on I want to take a knee.

    Maybe you don't be have a grandma or a family or celebrate thanksgiving. But pretend you do, for a moment

    They should be protesting the treatment of police departments by some black American citizens.

    Perhaps if their concerns were actually warranted, people would pay attention.

    No, obviously cops are racist and just out there hunting African Americans since all blacks end up dead after a contact with law enforcement.

    Will never happen as long as we continue to applaud the apologists.

    Trump is exposing that he is violating his oath of office in preserving and defending the Constitution.

    BS. Get over yourself. Many family have lost their loved ones who support this act and so does many members of the military (a few on here also have speak out). I pledge allegiance to this country, not the military.
