I think most of us, no matter how upset we were over some issue, would never use those things taught to us to respect to air our grievances.
Our family, our country, our values, our respect for the law are things most people hold dear. If someone believes that police officers are unfairly targeting people because of their race, then wear a pin, march, wear a bracelet, rent a billboard, buy TV Time, do a miniseries on PBS, form clubs, tutor in schools, give money to endangered youth or to organizations supporting them.

I honestly do not like the kneeling, I respect the NFLs "right" , but I know enough of the history here to know that the initial incidents would never have grown to any extent had it not been "promoted", and yet another "fear" created, nor was there not a target on the back of the NFL based on past perceived wrongs.
Another "created" situation.
And to your "suggestions", DONE. They exist and are mocked. I have read a number of posts attacking any such group
