5GallonBucket Posted September 22, 2016 Report Posted September 22, 2016 besides bringing awareness to an issue is it really solving any of the issues or creating more issues? Is this going to stop the few corrupt/racist cops that commit such acts? Awareness is great, but it doesn't solve anything Ty Cobb 1 Quote

Big girl Posted September 23, 2016 Report Posted September 23, 2016 He has a constitutional right NOT to stand. I never stand or put my hand over my heart. I think it is stupid.

Do you stand when you are watching the game when the national anthem is played? It is about respect, right? Quote
stevenash Posted September 25, 2016 Report Posted September 25, 2016 Guess its a matter of perspective.  When I am not a direct participant in an event, I deal with things differently.  I also did not salute or put my hand over my heart when I watched the bodies from Benghazi being unloaded from the airplane( yes, the time that Mrs. Clinton directly LIED to the parents of the slain) via television but you can rest assured I would have if I had been in their physical presence. Quote
