Just looking at the guy's twitter feed he's not some innocent bystander. He's a far left agitator who obviously wanted a confrontation to occur. The cops obviously should've handled it better but you can see why so many came out in support of their fellow officers.
He seemed to be more ticked off at Brees and Fromm. By checking Allen I assume he passed with flying colors his two years here. Emotions among players are high right now and will eventually cool off. I'm sure Fromm will do and say the right things like Josh did. I'm not that worried.
The real frustration it seemed to me listening to some of the players reactions is that they thought they moved the needle enough for the majority of the public to understand that kneeling was about police brutality and not disrespecting the military. They certainly expected their white teammates to understand that at the very least.
They look at Brees as no dummy and rightfully question why he suddenly brings this up now during a time of heated racial strife in this country and not three years ago when the kneeling controversy began. I think Brees knew all this blowback would come and that he would have to issue an apology. The apology would quell some of his teammates reservations so he could play with them another year and also allow the right to claim he was a poor victim of the "woke/pc" culture. I wouldn't be surprised if he ran for office as a Republican when he retires.
I don't think Brees is stupid and the first thought that came to me when he made that statement in such a heated point in time in this country is he wants a future in politics. By the way, he's done more for that city than any of those people combined.
I thought it was a smart political move but unnecessary. A simple address from the oval office would've been fine. Here's George HW Bush after the Rodney King riots.
TJ Yeldon maybe depending on Williams's or Wade's development. You might be able to get a late round pick for him. Make sure you have O'Brien on speed dial in case Tytus Howard cuts him in line at the buffet.

Of course the riots help Trump. There's going to be 1,000 news cycles between now and November though.
You can turn that around on the right too though with those who complain about Trump being censored on a private company (Twitter) yet condemned Kaepernick kneeling on company time. I don't know if you're one of those people but there's plenty on both sides who are hypocritical and will twist themselves into pretzels when trying to explain their inconsistencies.
