But we really are not talking about a flag, it was a anthem. How is a anthem a flag and a flag then our troops ? When the anthem is over, they rise and the flag is still flying just as it did before they took a knee.
You are like attacking the messenger... you don't want to deal with the root problem here nor admit one exists. I don't agree with all of the accusations made against the law enforcement community, but I don't see real progress working to a solution to the others.

The constitution is meant to protect everyone... not 'some people'
The cops being agents of a state or city are still governed by the US constitution.
We are a nation of laws.
Those laws insure equal protection and equal judgement for all, not some.
The moment you ignore any part of that, you are ignoring all of it.

If you wanted to defecate on the flag, I might laugh at you and advise you not to do it, but I would stand-up for your right to do it if anyone tried to stop you.
It does not change the words of the document I cherish. It adds true meaning to them.

But our men and women in uniform have not lost their lives so that I might be forced to bow and worship before a flag. And I always have honored them and what they do.

You can say it is a matter of respect.
If you want to be respected, act respectful.
When our nation does not act respectful, it is not respected.
Nobody is asking for more than to live-up to the words in that document.
