Just in case anyone wonders why many might feel that a conversation is needed about some police behaviour.

For one man who happened to be standing in the wrong place at the wrong time on a Sunday night in St. Louis, it had to be a moment of sheer terror — and total bewilderment. The unnamed individual had been merely watching a large protest over the not-guilty verdict that cleared a St, Louis police officer in the controversial 2011 killing of a black narcotics suspect when riot cops demanded that he show his hands — an order the man did not instantly comply with. The St. Louis Post-Dispatch described what happened next: “When he refused, they knocked him down and hit him at least three times and zip tied his hands behind his back,” the newspaper reported. “When he stood up, his mouth was bloodied, the sources said.” It would not be until the next day that sheepish officers admitted to their higher-ups that in their violent zeal they’d made a horrible mistake — that the man they’d beaten was an undercover police officer, a colleague.
The mistaken identity caper would almost be comical, except that a) violence isn’t funny and b) it was just one sorry story on a night when the police went wild in a major American city, responding to sporadic incidents of bottle-throwing or window breaking with a massive show of force that, in making 120 arrests, swept up innocent bystanders, journalists trying to report what was happening, and scores of peacefully protesting citizens who were trapped in a police “kettle” and carted to jail because they could not leave the scene. One of the folks busted was a 27-year-old Air Force officer from nearby Scott Air Force Base, Lt. Alex Nelson, who was merely walking in his home neighborhood with his wife when police closed in and made it impossible to leave. Nelson, according to the Post-Dispatch, was “kicked in the face, blinded by pepper spray, and dragged away.”
Another of those arrested was a Post-Dispatch reporter, Mike Faulk, who was one of dozens cornered with no way out by police who then refused to acknowledge Faulk was a reporter, despite wearing his press credentials around his neck:
Instead, he was arrested with “unneeded and inappropriate force” that caused injury to both legs, his back and wrist. Faulk was “forcefully pushed to the ground by police officers and a police officer’s boot was placed on his head.” After his wrists were bound with zip ties, a police officer “deliberately sprayed him in the face with pepper spray, mace or some other stinging substance.” At some point, an officer reviewed the contents of Faulk’s phone.

Given what the team as a whole did and statements from owner and coaches, this was a protest, a political statement.
A white man was allowed to express his first amendment rights at work.
I feel the irony is lost on many.

This is his 12th tweet on the subject this weekend yet not a single comment on Puerto Rico
Apparently black players kneeling don't count as peaceful protest

Texas ... their flight isn't confirmed until October 1st. A family of 5 from the U.K. has enough money to buy one sandwich per person (3/5)
Per day. They told us they were unable to withdraw money from the ATM. Many ATMS on the island aren't working. (4/5)
Quite a contrast between how McCain deals with things life throws his way than Trump
Do you think he realises the exact same criticism can be leveled at his father?
..I wonder when the line 'bend the knee' will appear in a song.
Call me oldfashioned but rather than fore off his 15th tweet about sports in the past few hours
Trump might want to consider showing his patriotism by helping US citizens in need?
