        Except that Kaepernick is defending criminals who target cops and blaming cops for enforcing the law.

        Silly @Kaepernick7 A REAL protest is to gather bunch of “patriots”, guns, and then occupy a national park. Oh, yeah, and BE WHITE.

        Guess they're going to eventually cause the playing of the anthem at sporting events to go away.

        Defiant people will support other defiant people. People who are disrespectful to the Anthem or flag should move and get out
