    The Rightwing slant that redirected Kaepernick's protest was a masterful piece manipulation. It completely overshadowed his original message to the point that even his supporters were having to defend against the unpatriotic argument.

    yeah but I mean in this case it was literally that her communication was hard to understand

    I didn’t see the officers beat those people , just restrain them .

    there’s plenty to be outraged by ... I’m not sure this just isn’t a simple misunderstanding

    Are you ****ing serious?

    A misunderstanding?

    what were the people on the sidewalk doing that would cause the police to cuff them?

    Yelling?

    So it was ok that the victims were restrained and not beaten?

    How about if you don't understand the person you try and calm them down instead of just restrainig them?

    I agree it’s not ideal , or even good .

    but on the spectrum of things , if they were shortly released then it’s not so bad , at least IMO .

    I’m not trying to make excuses .

    It was hard for me to see who she was pointing out at the looters ? The people that ran across the street ?

    Like how a black cnn reporter was arrested the other day even when he showed them his press credentials and was on live tv. Another reporter who was a block away who happened not to be black was not arrested weHen he was stopped by police. But hey no harm no foul right?

    I mean I’m in a tough position to comment in that I’m white , like if that happened to me and I was the store owner ... I would be pissed and prolly scared when they pointed the gun ... that would be the biggest complaint ... and like I’ve said it’s not good . But it it’s probably well below average .

    granted the reason my reaction would be muddled is because I’d be fairly certain that nothing more would come of it and I might even get an apology . I can guess that many black people (justifiably so) feel different.

    it’s still part of a needed culture overhaul (on the part of the police) . But it’s an issue that should be fixed if other , more deeper issues are fixed .

    but I think it’s closer to a C- or D than an F

    Almost 6.5 millions infected, 380k deaths in 188 countries from TheWuhanFlu. These kind of rallies and angers are supposed to be for the ChiCom who gave the world this pandemic. I smell some propaganda and some conspiracy going on here.
