This thread is hilarious. I might as well throw in my two cents on this one. I know I will be in the minority on this issue.
I don't get wrapped around the axle when they kneel because I know they are not disrespecting the country or the military. They are just trying to shed light on a problem in America. In fact I've read articles where vets don't mind protesters because they fought in wars to preserve that right here in America. In this case I think the protesters are showing their love for country because they are trying to improve the country.
Here is where I'm in the minority. I don't think the police should carry guns at all. If a gun situation arises, call in the swat team that is trained for that situation. I think a lot less people and police would be getting shot. Just my opinion, maybe it would work maybe it wouldn't. I formed this opinion because of an article I read about prison guards. They don't carry guns because they are surrounded by criminals and it would be unsafe. So why do police carry guns when they are surrounded by law abiding citizens? Doesn't make sense to me.
