Baltimore a city in a downward spiral.

Dirty Baltimore City cops is why they kneel? Disrespect the flag? Weak excuse...
Ask the Mayor of Baltimore what is going on.

They flat out tell you why they kneel. You instead ignore that and insert flags and soldiers to get your rage on.
 
Every police department needs to remove any officers who would do such a thing and ensure no other police department hires them.

Such actions undermine what little trust remains for police officers in some areas, and starts to undermine it in others.

I don't understand how these people ever were allowed to be police, let alone do such things.
Only a broken system would allow such.

The last thing Ferguson needs is cops. Ferguson has lost the battle and the criminals have won.

Being a cop is one of the most thankless jobs there are. And putting up with the “no snitching” culture makes it worse.

Hell Kaepernick even talked with a veteran about it and started kneeling as a result.

And we’re flat out telling them they’re choosing the wrong place, the wrong time and their message ignores reality. We didn’t insert the flag. They did.

No they didn't. It's their knee. No flag about it but what you want to insert yourself.

Granted, but the ones who disagree with that one are wrong, even though they're obviously allowed to speak their wrong opinions and positions, just like Kaepernik is allowed to express his, which are right.

Notable testimony from the Baltimore Police Gun Trace Task Force corruption trial

Ward said the officers kept BB guns in their vehicles “in case we accidentally hit somebody or got into a shootout, so we could plant them.” He did not say whether the officers ever planted a BB gun on anyone.​

If a police officer gets into a shootout, there wouldn't be a reason to plant a gun in the first place.....so right off the bat that doesn't really compute.

True... I think it implies if they shoot they need to pretend they had a reason.

Or that someone’s uncomfortable and not really doing a great job of explaining what the hell some people do.

If somebody starts shooting at a police officer, that’s already a causus belli. There simply isn’t any reason why a gun would need to be planted.

True. But it was clear that he said they carried the fake guns to plant them when needed.
