Appropriate kneeling vs. inappropriate kneeling? (Original Post)

(28,817 posts)1. I think that's pretty awful post.
To have Kappernick anywhere associated with that cop is wrong.
I tried to find out on line. Is the dead man the suspect they were after? Or did they just grab any black man they saw?

They were not equating Kaepernik with the cops.

(28,817 posts)3. It makes a lot of difference.
Yes no one should die over a forged check, a bag of skittles, or an expired license plate.
But it matters that a cop use some judgement to look for the actual suspect not just grab any black man that happened to be parked at the Kwickiemart.
You also dont have to swear at me. I didnt do anything to you.
