Did anyone say that this was not about race? Did you read the article I referenced? What do you think about the article I referenced?
Wanting to hold the police accountable for their heavy-handed responses towards minorities is not akin to destroying the USA. In fact, the citizens of the USA have a shared interest in curbing the unnecessary police brutality that so often ends in death unnecessarily.

JD - I read the article. I had actually read a similar article when the meeting happened.
I believe Kap is a very confused young man, who is lost and really needs God.
He has turned this way and that way looking for purpose.
He has many tatoos of Bible verses on his body.
He also has a radical Muslim girlfriend who has totally messed him up.
He idolizes Che and has praised Fidel Castro.
Che was nothing more than a murdureous thug, who incidentally hated Blacks (and gays).
He opted out of his $12 million contract because he believed (I am sure his gf advised him) that he could get more as a free agent.
Any one of many sports advisors believed that it was a mistake.
He also became a vegan, last year I believe, and many sports nutritionists were concerned because he had lost the muscle mass and bulk needed in the NFL.
He had a tryout with the Ravens and they were looking to sign him, but then his gf sent out a tweet comparing Ray Lewis and the Baltimore owner to a slave and slave owner. So, goodbye Baltimore hopes.
So, I know a lot about Kap and have followed him since his days at Nevada.
He, like many mixed race individuals has always tried to bounce between two worlds.
Now back to his protests.
His first interview after he started them was very telling.
He could not state what it was about or what he hoped to accomplish.
His later interviews became much better as he was evidently coached up.
Now, can you find for me a study that proves the assertion that Police are more likely to shoot a black man than a white man?
I have not seen one credible study that proves this.
Conversely, I have seen several that show there is no bias.
I have posted links to several on different posts on AFF.
Let's review the three main narratives that have been embraced as proof positive of racist police killing black men.
1. Michael Brown in St Louis. This started the entire BLM movement and the "Hands up don't shoot" narrative. It was a LIE. MB never, never put up his hands and said those words. As a matter of fact, MB had his hands inside the cop car attempting to beat down the cop, who was still sitting in the cop car.
2. Eric Garner - the entire episode was supervised by a Black female Police officer. She was the officer in charge at the scene. So, how could that be racist?
3. Freddie Grey - if I remember correctly half of the cops involved were black. Also, the Mayor, City Attorney, Police Chief and 2 assistant Chiefs were black. Over half of the police force is black. So how was this racist.
So, again, Kap's entire reason for protesting is built upon a false narrative, as is the entire BLM movement.
