I agree that demonstrating during the anthem is inherently disrespectful to the flag and/or country, I just don't see kneeling, linking arms, or holding up a fist as any worse than refusing to remove your hat, not stopping what you're doing, or talking during it. It's just not that egregious of an act to me, enough so that we can strip these protestors of their purpose and decide what their protest actually represents. 

Of course it's not disrespectful to the police and there in lies the ignorance of the movement. 

Your examples are the reason I stated consciously choosing not to show respect. These folks know they should and contentiously choose not to and make sure they are seen doing it.

No one is saying these folks cannot protest, just understand that their protest is purposely disrespecting the flag and the nation for which it stands. Can folks at least own that and quit saying "They're not disrespecting anything" and understand that a private employer does ot want you to do it on their dime?
