until they stay on a knee when rioting, looting & burning down personal property should start..
which seems to have possibly happened in some cities late at night and the store owners incorrectly had confidence that all would be alright and they could go home for some rest & sleep..and next morn the store was leveled by flames!
So unbelievably bad & madness all around.

Much more peaceful than tear gas and rubber bullets. If that helps get us through this more peacefully then I’m all for it.

That may help in cootville but sadly to say, it won't help in the larger cities. I am wondering now about all of the outcries about the NFL taking a knee if the cops are now joining. I will take one knee when I'm exhausted or petting my Dog and both knees for Christ. That's it.

other states in times like these. Black and white live amongst each other and struggle along side each other enough to realize we are all the same. I have zero doubt that much of our incident’s have been brought about by outside forces.

I agree! Outside agitators in many cases are responsible.

It is sad to see the lack of understanding about systemic racism on these texts. Glad to see your comment! You support players on Saturday. Support their right to not be racially abused!

Good grief nobody has been racially abused. They have been given a free ride to a 4 year degree.

I don't believe in any form of abuse but what I observe is mostly white folks in the street. This isn't all about George Floyd, they just want you to believe that. Where are the outcries on killings in big cities everyday?

The Columbia Police were invited by the protesters to join them in taking a knee in order to offer a prayer. I thought it was a great moment. It allowed the Police to show the demonstrators that we are all on the same side regarding the larger issues that have been raised since the events in Minnesota.
The City of Columbia has done a great job dealing with the two different issues they have been confronted with in recent days - openness to demonstrators who want to express grief and voice their desire for change, and blunt opposition to rioters who want to exhibit lawlessness. The Mayor, the Police Chief, and the City leadership have been working overtime to guard the rights of lawful demonstrators, and shut down lawless rioting.
As a Tiger who lives here, I am grateful for the type of leadership I am seeing from these local officials.

I found that out later. I jumped the gun and thought that they were protesting the flag...my bad. I will get my facts straight before I make another post that is wrong. I do know that the police in Columbia do a very good job and I have respect for them and all fair-minded police.

Absolutely if they are kneeling for prayer I support this. Kneeling for the anthem not so much. Everyone has their opinion on this and this is my opinion.
