    So these doughnut scarfing crybabies are protesting a protest by protesting? Smart people call that irony. In all seriousness with the footage that has been released on cops this week, this isn’t the time to act morally superior to anyone much less tax paying citizens. Well look at it this way at least these bastions of integrity will have more time to gun down 12 year olds & try to cover it up. Really NWA had it right back in 88 FUCK THA POLICE.

    The thing is, what they are doing is actually disrespectful to the flag. They are refusing to honor it at all. The players are the ones who are still honoring the flag by silently kneeling during the anthem. By refusing to take part at all they are disrespecting the flag and everything it stands for, including the right to peacefully protest.

    The truth of the matter is that those cops are disrespctful assholes.

      Right? The irony of all this is killing me. What must it feel like, to wander around with such a myopic point of view?

      P.S. To The Root as a whole: thank you so much for the follow/ungreying! This is by far my favorite part of the whole Kinja bundle of sites, you guys are so great.

    “I’m going to burn this flag to show how awful those anti-American bastards are. That way they won’t be able to disrespect its glory!” said the dumbest sumbitch around.

      Yup. They’re offended by players silently kneeling during the anthem, calling it disrespectful.

      So they’re boycotting the anthem.

      At least the cops aren’t murdering the Browns...so there’s that.

      Yet. They aren’t murdering the Browns yet. This is Cleveland, after all.

    Same department that shot Tamir Rice is upset?

    In a perfect world, the PA announcer would make a show of it:

    “We invited the Cleveland PD to this, but they hate America so much they refused”

    I tried to write a comment and just started typing madly and erasing and retyping and ended up having to lie down and count to ten. FTP.

    I’m just about starving right now, so my logical reasoning is kinda off and fuzzy. But let me get this straight.

    When players protest it’s “un-American” “idiotic”, “defies logic”, and “disrespectful”(probably missed a few more insults). But when the cops do it, it’s ok?

    Did I understand everything correctly, or do I really just need to go make myself a sandwich?

      Always make the sandwich, regardless of the question.

    Good. Fuck ‘em. Who needs more asinine stroking of the white supremacist, murderous, rampantly corrupt blue gang? Let’s start cancelling every stupid “Law Enforcement Day” everywhere, to protect their poor little feelings.

      Yep. I wouldn’t mind them having firefighters or paramedics show up instead. They’re better people.

    Born and raised in Cleveland here. Im trying to find some sort or shock or outrage but after the Blues Brothers’ car chase and Tamir Rice what else would you expect? This city is so politely racist it seeps from the pores if youre paying any attention, the rabid defense of Chief Wahoo being Exhibit A
