So far all I see is division. Even those on the left have to admit that not everyone agrees with their take that kneeling is not a disrespectful act. I would like to believe that the opinion of roughly half the country counts for something.

So if half the country is upset by the action (a negative)...where is the positive? There should be a massive positive to offset the obvious negative, which is division.

The pure volume of violent encounters is naturally going to lead to a handful of mistakes per every million or so encounters. Occasionally you will have some bad apples. This does not mean we have a nationwide epidemic of racist bloodthirsty cops.

2. What are the suggestions of the kneelers on how to fix the perceived problem? How have they attempted to open dialogue with police departments or local governments? 

A reminder that this was started by a guy who made $43.5m by the age of 28, who has chosen to NEVER vote in his life, publicly praised Fidel Castro, and then declined a $16.9m player option, and has an activist girlfriend who then tanked his last job opportunity by comparing the team's owner to a slave owner on social media (she is also known for saying this... “When 9/11 happened, it didn’t surprise me at all. Wow. Mmkay. This is what we went through, probably, every couple months.”).

There is no real purpose to it all. No end game. No positive. Just a soup sandwich that was a mixture of a guy trying to distract from his declining/undeveloping skills that made him lose out in a QB competition to *Blaine Gabbert* and a guy who is apparently the type of person who changes their likes/personality/beliefs to match their significant other in a relationship (we all know those people, and this started RIGHT when they got together).
