I am not a fan of players taking a knee, (especially Kaepernick who wore a t-shirt featuring Castro while speaking about oppression) but assuming players, or "thugs" as you label them, support a gang member executing LEO's is more than a bit of a stretch, it's a fabrication of the truth.
Kneeling for the anthem is a peaceful protest by players who want to speak out about their feelings of a racially systematic injustice, no matter how disrespectful to our country you or I find it. That doesn't make them thugs or criminals. And it certainly doesn't make them guilty by association when heinous crimes like these are committed by some POS.
While BLM is a decentralized movement, BLM leaders have never condoned violence, they have actually condemned it.
But hey, don't let facts get in the way of your hasty generalizations.
In the meantime, I am going to mourn the loss of two police officers, and their families of this tragedy. It sickens me that they were simply doing their job, and now their children have to grow up without a parent because some a$$hole thinks killing them is going to prove or solve something.
But it doesn't mean I am going to paint every person who takes a knee or marches in protest with a broad brush either...
