I will say it again...in 99.9999% of ALL cases where a suspect was shot (no matter what color their skin was or what religion they were) if they had complied with police commands nobody would have died. In the majority of these cases the suspect is ignoring police commands and/or showing aggressive behavior and refusing to show their hands. I hear this all the time. My step-son is a police officer and my wife is a high school teacher. My wife has students that act the same way. They are brought up this way. It isn't a racial issue. Last week a white student was texting during class. My wife told him to hand over the phone. He told her 'i ain't givin' you my da*n phone'. You didn't see this type of attitude 20 years ago. I think it is a matter of kids just not being taught respect growing up. They have defied authority their whole lives and never had to face any consequences and think they will get away with that same behavior with the police. It comes down to a lack of respect, and that is the same thing these athletes are displying towards our flag. I spent some time in law enforcement and will add this, if you respect me I will respect you, but I will do whatever I have to to be sure I go home at the end of the night.
