To coffee addict, who quoted me: First of all, the US, i.e., the federal government represented by the Stars and Stripes, provides very little police service. Local and state governments provide most of the police service. And most of the objectionable police shootings have been committed by local or state police. And I clearly did not condemn all police, I specifically said “some” police have engaged in wrongful conduct.
The handful of times that I have been at a ball park, stadium, court or ice rink where the US National Anthem is played, I stand, voluntarily. If the US started rounding up Jews or Yazidis, or local police started shooting us or the Yazidis, I might sit in protest. Is it OK with you if I stay here in America? Not that I would leave if you say “no”.
