It warms my heart to see all these people so angry at the players kneeling.
First off, most people are not angry. Disgusted would be a better word. And its that kind of thinking that's dividing our country. You're basically saying its ok to protest in that manner knowing full well its going to be perceived as disrespectful by a majority of people, but its not ok for people to unhappy with the manner of protest. Gimme a break.
There is no way the Castile officer should have got off like he did. That verdict tells me that cops have too much leeway.
Im not saying he was "out to get the black man", but that dude wigged the fuck out once he was calmly informed there was a gun in the situation.
I'm not familiar with this situation but I don't blindly believe that the police don't make mistakes. They, like any other human, will always make mistakes. Sadly, due to the nature of the job, their mistakes often have a more serious effect.
But on the other hand you have people like Michael Bennett flat out lying and playing the race card which doesn't help either.
