About 11 years ago my late younger brother married a woman from Jamaica who had also been a SEAL TEAM support system staffer.

Tal, I don't think this is about race and I never have thought it was about race, but the players are trying to make it about race. How police officers handle arrests racially has nothing to do with how we all honor the symbol of our country. That, to me, is a totally different issue.
