Still, no one can tell me how protesting the national anthem has anything to do with police picking on black people...which in and of itself is a spurious claim at best.  Are there individual racist cops that have done inappropriate things?  Of course.  And when/if they do act in a racist manner, they should be (and are) punished appropriately.  Is there a systemic based racism in all cops.  Nope.  But again I'll ask, can anyone explain to me how kneeling for our national anthem is somehow related to cops?  And is it really a wise way to protest cops when the correlation between cops and our national flag is extremely weak and most people know it will be taken as an affront to the military?
