the "only .1% of cops are bad!" crowd needs to see this. here we have a public example of a cop trying to show solidarity and be "good"...and his colleagues immediately jumped to stop him. Now consider how often this happens behind the scenes, when no cameras are rolling. He'll probably now be chastised and picked on by his colleagues. It feeds the notion that the good cops aren't able to think freely and actually do good out of fear of being attacked by their co-workers.. THAT'S the issue. THAT'S the problem people are fighting to fix.

This reminds me of a story about a rookie who refused to lie for her superior because she knew he would throw her under the bus should she ever be caught. Her superior was disciplined and in retaliation her colleagues shot up her house while she was out. It was an attempt to intimidate her into quitting. She sued the department and won.

I think it was a prosecutor, not a rookie cop.

I'm pretty sure it was a rookie cop. Her husband was already a cop and he was the one who suggested that she not lie to cover for her superior. He said that since she's a woman, she would never be a part of their fraternity. If her lie were to be discovered, they wouldn't hesitate in throwing her under the bus. She got a lot of shit for it from her colleagues and they made her life a hell. Then, while she was out shopping, her house was shot up as a warning. The arriving officers suggested it was a gang retaliation, but the bullets recovered were all police issue.

She sued the department and won a couple million. The reason for the large payout was because her and her husband's career in law enforcement were pretty much over.

So, did you guys just completely forget that kneeling is seen as widely disrespectful to both cops and the military?

It wasn't seen that way at all until a black guy did it to promote awareness for discrimination.

Then suddenly it was.

That's why the problem won't change. Police are supposed to serve and protect communities. Not themselves. This stupid protect each other thing even if the person they're protecting is scum of the earth is making cops look bad and it ain't helping normal folks. They're just protecting themselves. Just like any other government employee. All they do is protect themselves.

Because it was based on the killing of Mike Brown where witnesses falsely accused a cop of shooting him with his hands up when in reality he attacked the cop. To kneel is to ignore the lie. To do so during the national anthem where you should be remembering the troops and what they're fighting for is further insult.

A retired vet literally suggested kneeling to Colin Kapernick as a peaceful protest against the national anthem.
