If you're referring to Alton Sterling, all I can say is that if the DOJ does anything but clear those officers then it's a fricking sham. Those officers followed every rule in the book during their interactions with Sterling regarding use of force. The media's take that these two officers just rolled up and assassinated him is total BS. The BRPD and city could have squashed this at the outset by telling the world the details of what happened but they chose not to and we saw the result. Alton Sterling wasn't gunned down because he was black, he was gunned down because he was a fricktard and tried to pull a weapon on police after resisting arrest.

This is just some bullshite attention whoring....
If everyone would literally not give a shite, it would die. I disagree with what they're protesting and I strongly disagree with how they are doing it. Each player doing it has lost any respect I previously gave them not that they even do or should care.
Morgan Freeman once said racism would die if everyone stopped talking about it. Same deal here

Maybe not fully, but literally what makes a lot of people racist is constantly being accused of being racist and having to hear about everyone beng racist, and having to answer for people 100 years ago actually being the racists..... just saying
Eric Reid said a cop yelled at him during a traffic stop. I'm white, a cop has yelled at me for no reason before then changed his tune.... I didnt accuse him of being racist or make into a big deal. People are assholes, sometimes it just is what it is. But now Eric is feeding the 'whites and cops are racist' movement over likely bullshite

I'm gonna make my kids attend school on the Martin Luther King holiday in protest to all the black on black crime.

I can't believe people care about this.

Wouldn't that welcome a lawsuit for violating one's First Amendment Constitutional freedoms?

I love people on here saying they should force them to stand and that they are bad Americans for not standing. This country has a history of protests that basically define it, including our revolution. They have every right to protest America and it should be encouraged to protest. You might not agree with what they're protesting, but you can't argue their right to protest.
I agree.

Agreed

I don't think you understand what Constitutional Rights protect against.

Anyone who doesn't worship the flag should probably be put to death.

And start fining every NFL player who does not stand for our national anthem. He needs to man up and do this. The NBA already fines everybody who does not stand and the NFL needs to implement this policy immediately.

Would you view the flag differently if you were African American?

Are you sure ? Science has proved that's not the case. Racists statically come Into these beliefs with preconceived notions/bases already.
So no, don't blame others for your inability to treat people humanely. Be better, expect more of yourself and be a better person. Racism is easy.
You're white dude. White people, especially white males, don't have s prolonged history in this country of being disproportionately and explicitly discriminated against. You can't compare your plights man. Sorry..I don't know why you would want to.
Cops may not be racist, but a state violence against blacks, is as old as 1776. We cannot blame blacks for the actions that have clouded their perception..unless you think they deserved to be treated that way
