Sponsor dumps Brandon Marshall

[wazzu31]

Kaep is donating his first $1M earned this year, plus his take from jersey sales (although I'm not sure it really works that way) to the cause.

Some of you guys are getting awfully upset over "not saluting the flag won't move the needle". These guys know that can't individually do anything about the issue, so they're trying to get more and more people to take notice and pressure their local congressman or whomever.

That's where you and anyone supporting Kaep or any of these tools are wrong. Donating money won't do a thing. Join the police force, do something instead of stomping feet. I'm guessing you also think the Civil Rights act happened because of a peaceful protest not because people got into politics to vote for it to pass. Donating money and donating time doesn't do anything until you actually do something about it, which he has the fame and fortune to do. Though his female companion is going to ruin any chance

Yes, you can't deny there are dirty cops and corruption inside the legal system but you can't lump the good cops into that situation. The good cops of America way way way out number the dirty cops. It's not their fault they have an itchy trigger figure knowing they are being targeted and hunted while trying to protect our rights from the scum of the earth.

Actually, a lot of those "good cops" should be lumped with the bad cops, because they let the bad cops be dirty and they afe quick to cover for them.

If we want corruption to stop in police departments, then we need those good cops to take a stand.

The Broncos' Brandon Marshall loses a sponsor for kneeling during the anthem last night.

Broncos' Marshall dumped by sponsor after protesting during national anthem

What a douchenozzle. What a bunch of black douchebags. You're SERIOUSLY protesting the National Anthem? King Jr. would be completely disgraced by these morons. Sorry Martin Luther.... what a complete disgrace =( Blacks have the biggest opportunity they've ever had. Jesus, you can apply with a $2 salary at an Ivy league college as a black person if you have a working brain.

Wish King Jr. was around to right the ship.

Im confused by your question (as it relates to my post)

simple. you are saying players like kaepernick are drawing attention to the "problem" and it's a great way to start. so, what has BLM been doing this whole time? i'm pretty sure this has been a hot topic for quite a while now.

so what are these morons doing? essentially pissing people off. that's why the majority of the players are smart enough to stay away so far. seattle did the smart thing, but then you have dolts like foster.

all they are doing is taking the laziest route and saying "this is wrong." then they go out and play a kids game, making millions.

By your "logic", nobody has any right to complain about anything that doesn't have to do with their current job. So, you can't complain about any ref's calls; you should just go become a ref yourself. You can't complain about Russell Wilson's poor performance; you should go become the Seahawks starting QB yourself.

For the rest of us, there is the real world.

Why is anyone accusing these guys of not putting their money where their mouth is, in a thread about them losing money yet continuing to protest?

Unarmed =/= innocent

Let me guess, you were one of those hands up, don't shoot retards?

Guilty does not mean they should die. That type of thinking shows just how far gone you really are from the way things should be.

 

[Tubbs1518]

Really if someone resisting arrest how is an officer supposed to know that they are not in danger of being hurt or Killed by the person they are arresting they have every right to use whatever force necessary to facilitate the arrest. The person resisting has already broken the law by resisting.

Again its really simple do what the police tell you and fight whatever injustice you think you may have been subjected to in COURT with an attorney or better yet stay the hell out of trouble

No they don't have every right to use whatever force is necessary. That isn't the way it works. They can't just shoot whoever they want. They have to be in mortal danger. If they aren't they don't get to shoot them. It's actually really simple.

Depends on what they are guilty of. If I catch someone stealing my shit, they won't have to worry about the police shooting them.

 

[Tubbs1518]

Have you stopped to think about what you would do in that said situation? I highly doubt you have. I have no dog in this fight but come on man you can't say, "just arrest them" when they have a gun and want to shoot people and probably want to shoot cops more than anything else.

If they have a gun, shoot them. I said that. If you aren't in mortal danger, you don't just get to shoot people.

 

[Tubbs1518]

You're taking this stand just to screw with people aren't you? You can't be this angry and dumb?
You're like one of the idots that protest WTO, while wearing a pair of Nike shoes.
Not that I agree with what Seattle plans to do but at least it's not disrespectful. They will STAND QUIETLY locking arms in solidarity. This is a much better way then simply disrespecting the country's national anthem.
Bottom line there are other ways. You and Kaep just aren't smart enoughto figure that out.

This countries national anthem doesn't really mean anything. I know you sit on your couch while it is sung.

 

[Tubbs1518]

Guess your missing the point which is retarded. Go to your boss and complain and most will say " if you don't like it the door is right there, which is leave and I could give you 10 other examples. When you told somebody to fuck the,selves I don't think you expected to go home and grab a dildo and actually do it, figure of speech. If you don't like my comments you can leave this country and go to North Korea

You need to go back to school and take some English lessons.

Him joining a police force won't do anything. That is the dumbest thing I've heard. Money and attention is how things get changed now days and he is bringing both.

Cops don't get to do that. If someone is stealing and isn't putting the cop in mortal danger, they don't get to just shoot and kill them.

Thanks for the advice and go home and get your fucking shine box

It's a case by case basis. Anyone with any common sense at all will tell you that the so called gentle giant got what he had coming to him.

That's not the standard. They don't have to actually be in mortal danger. They have to have a reasonable, good faith belief that they are in mortal danger. A person pointing an unloaded weapon at a police officer doesn't put him in mortal danger, but the police could well be justified in shooting the person if they are unaware that it is not loaded.

Yes, that was what I meant. Someone just running or breaking the law doesn't mean the cop gets to kill them tho.

i agree, but again we have to put ourselves in officers shoes is what i am saying

 

[Kold]

So people complain about Kaep not doing anything else besides sitting down...but once he donates money, and talks about putting boots to ground, people say that that's not enough, and that he's just doing that to save face? Smh man...
