It's a good read if you don't know about it.

I had to read what this was about.

72 is Michael Bennett.  http://sea.247sports.com/Bolt/Mike-McCready-reveals-Bennett-support-after-playing-anthem-107626400

We'll see

As you can imagine, it takes a significant amount of effort and time to review all the video and available evidence. If the investigation reveals that any polices or training was violated, those officers will be held accountable."

One thing that McMahill did note is that the officer accused of threatening Bennett either didn't have a body camera, or he had it and it wasn't on. McMahill also noted that he didn't believe this was a case of racial profiling because the two officers who handcuffed Bennett were both male Hispanics. 

One other thing that should be noted is that there's no video of Bennett fleeing. The lone video shown at the press conference only showed Bennett when he was already on the ground. With 126 pieces of video out there, a more accurate version of events should eventually come out.

How convenient.

If there is no footage to back up that Bennett ran then this will blow up, if there is footage of him running from the area then this blows up in Bennett's face, so we shall see.

Also why is this thread more active than Trump's right now?

Same people who love Trump think it is a national travesty to sit for the anthem.

As big a travesty as killing millions in constant endless war and school shootings.  Dangit, I messed up, those are ok.

But better not sit for the Anthem!

What I find amazing is that nearly a year after Kaepernick began his peaceful, silent protest people are still calling it disrespectful, yet we've all but stopped talking about the group of actual disrespectful, hateful, narrow-minded, swastika wearing fuckfaces from just a month ago using the exact same first amendment protection.

And we wonder why Kaep does what he does.

Peaceful... but not silent. Let's be clear on that. Very visible. Aside from the demonstration... let's also remember his socks and various other items that cannot be classified as 'silent'.

Silent protest literally means not speaking or making noise during protest ... Silent protests are still visible.

Thank you, Alli.

Come on.

I think Trump is as big a fool as anyone. I also think sitting during the national anthem is disrespectful to some degree.

I'm not going to set my hair on fire over someone doing it- ultimately... I don't really care- but I think there are better ways to demonstrate/protest.

this is how you make a difference. not by meaningless disrespectful (to some) jesters.

Kaep has donated a shit-ton of money, supposedly near $1MM.
