You're pointing to the corrupt militarized government since 9/11. Fair enough since you don't see the problem as black people see it. They protest, not just the injustice they've lived under this same government you are talking about, but their grief goes back since slavery, and the historical icons the founding fathers whom themselves owned slaves and treated them unjustly and with cruelty.
Contrary to what you said, black people ARE taking a knee protesting many things, including the national anthem which sings of freedom in a nation that isn't free, protesting their systematic murder and incarceration by the State, and for being put down and degraded as a race throughout history and today.
Your refernce in the video to Eric Garner's wife and daughter is another unjustified twist. They were refering to police brutality when it came to their case. They are not going to play the race card in a legal matter when clear evidence of murder was committed. Sticking to that narrative is simpler in court because it is harder to prove a racial motive resulted in murder! The hesitation was all over their faces and voices, but I guess you didn't pick up on that.
Your narrative doesn't hold any justice because you are just another white man looking at this from your own perspective, and not that of colored people.
You know the ironic thing about the nfl is the bafflingly high rate their players break the law. I wonder if constantly committing crimes and getting arrested could lead one to develop any bias towards the police and government?
That cop fucked up by choking Garner but Garner was a moron for resisting arrest. If the cops are in the wrong then you let them arrest you and you let the court decide. The guy had a huge criminal record so its not like he was some innocent guy.
Every living being has a reflex. Every action has a reaction. This fact the cops know very well. The manner in which a person is arrested may or may not trigger these natural reactions from those under arrest. You tell me, if a cop started to choke you, would you stay still? You can not simply because your body will experience a fight or flight response. It is that response which cops pray on. Do you understand?
I said the cop fucked up by choking him... But a cop wouldn't choke me because I wouldn't resist arrest in the first place. If that was a response that cops prey on they wouldn't have continuously told him he was under arrest they would have simply threw him to the ground without warning.
