Who: Vicqari Horton and others
What: Kneeling to National Anthem
When: October 1 2016
Where: Aurora, Colorado
Why: Protest police brutality
On Saturday during the National Anthem, Vicqari Horton and others on his football team knelt down in protest. After Colin Kaepernick knelt at a NFL game, high school football teams have started to across the nation. All of them protesting the recent police shooting against blacks. Some have encountered the violence personally, through family, friends, or even themselves. Many argue over this new act of protest with support or hatred towards the students.
My opinion is that this form of silent protest is well put where it is very noticeable yet does no harm.
Others are following the the foot steps to support black lives against police brutality.
This affects everyone, but especially blacks, with police violence and a change needed in the police interactions.
How do you think kneeling shows protest?
Will you kneel again?
What do you want changed?
