No one.....certainly not me....has said anything about not being upset about social injustices or inequalities. However.....disrespect does not foster growth, it does not foster change...and it certainly doesn’t foster RESPECT. It is an ineffective way of promoting rational two way conversations. This country, it’s leaders past and present have not, and will never be perfect. Change is needed. There is a tremendous amount of work to do. But.....Disrespecting the flag and the liberties it stands for is not the answer. Burning, rioting, looting , maiming and even killing people in the name of social justice is a CRIME. The message is LOST. Because that’s what people begin to talk about and focus on

MLK said rioting is the voice of the unheard. And I would say the people protesting for change come across a lot different than those that show up to cause destruction. That’s come straight from the mouth of a trooper I know. Kneeling during the anthem has talks at an all time high. If kneeling isn’t the answer then what is the answer?

Also, I appreciate the level headed conversation.
