This sounds like spoon fed propaganda. I do agree that the protesting needs to end. It has run its course. But the kneeling needs to be expanded. The innocent people in Chicago shot by arrogant twits could use a kneeling and moment of silence. Some blacks are indeed abused by feeble minded cops. And on the other side of the equation, clueless black criminals sometimes kill cops because they can't bear the thought of their criminal activities meeting with any penalty.
In short, innocent people killed by fools could use moments of silence. Kneeling to show some humility in their direction is nothing to be ashamed of. Jesus and others urge humility. Jesus even said to pray in private, not in public so as to advertise ones piety. Arrogant faux Christians OTOH love to close their eyes tighter than tight and pray on national TV. As Jesus said, 'they have their reward.'
There are errors of thinking, sins of arrogance among all cohorts - among cops, among criminals, among Republicans, among Democrats. All people, at all times, need to summon the courage to consider whether or not they are living in such as way as to be of service to their fellow man, are being humble before God, the cosmos, the great zen master in the sky - your choice. Declaring that one will not kneel does not strike me as humble. Beware the sin of pride.

Beware the sin of pride indeed.
Not kneeling isn't a sign of pride. Kneeling doesn't take courage. Courage is doing what's right not what's politically expedient. Kneeling does nothing except divide people and there are those who want to keep the division alive. Such as BLM. They aren't about social justice. Open your eyes .
