Why should he accept them when he broke no law nor NFL rule?

You are hard to decipher, Rube. Last I checked Colin Kaepernick did absolutely nothing wrong, so there really are no "repercussions" he should have had to face. But at any rate, I don't see him barging into NFL team meetings, demanding to play. I don't see him jumping onto sidelines during games to protest the fact that no NFL team had the stones to hire someone who was clearly more qualified than almost every second string QB in the league the last couple of years. I don't see Kaepernick failing to accept ANYTHING that has come his way in fact. He paid a huge price, just like a whole lot of other people of color who came before him. If anything at all about Colin Kaepernick bothers you, you are lost my friend. And that is just sad. I swear to God, you seem like a decent sort, you seem like you want to see people treated as human beings, but again, if anything about Colin Kaepernick is bothering you, YOU have the problem. I hope at some point in your life you pause to take an accounting of where your beliefs and viewpoints are. I really do.

He freaking handcuffs on and there were 3 or 4 cops present. He could have kneeled on his back at worst. For eff's sake Rube.

Also in the non-riot looking protest photos everyone had on a mask for those in which you could see their face. So no Trump voters as expected.

I'm not talking about this guy. I'm talking about Colin.

This single post says a lot about how you really feel, Rube. You're all for people being responsible for their actions, but fail to acknowledge that minorities suffer negative repercussions from their choices at a far more frequent and harsher rate, and you're unwilling to do anything about that. That is exactly what Kaepernick was trying to point out, and why the redneck Billy Bobs and Peggy Sues who boycotted the NFL were so triggered by it. And you too, apparently.

When he wanted $20MM from the XFL, and then when they balked, said he was getting denied a chance to play...the lawsuit against the NFL that really had no merit...things like that make me chuckle a little.

Why did the lawsuit have no merit in your mind?

Remind me. How many wife beaters and drunk drivers are still in the NFL?

That’s what I thought. Your take is still hot enough to fuel hell for a week.

I'm pretty sure you're supposed to fight your oppression, not meekly submit to it. King went to the Birmingham jail, but he wrote a book about how it was unfair. Would that have bothered you?

I understand your point but I think it is tailored-made for a psychological citadel to keep opposing someone who exposes a systemic (and personal) bias to which one is either blind or even sympathetic. So my respectful advice is examine your own heart. "Well-behaved women rarely make history" is true for everyone who bucks the system. People also nit picked the oppressed at Stonewall and Selma -- they were upsetting the status quo just by being fully human. That's what it is to fight. It's gonna bother people who didn't see a problem to begin with.

It would be good if the cops in these situations could be extended the benefit of the doubt, or just equanimity, but law enforcement has shown again and again over the decades (centuries) a tendency to gleefully and excessively maintain community standards of oppression. In times of social growth, the cops are not our friends. They are there to maintain order and in those situations order is repression.

Where do cops of other large cities live? Most MPLS cops live in the suburbs. Makes some feel as though the city is occupied by agencies that feel no motivation to protect and serve the community. Wondering if this issue is present in other areas as well.

I feel like it’s somewhat common. I grew up next to a sheriff who purposely wouldn’t live in his county of work
