"Why are black people always rioting, can they protest in peace?"

Black people silently protesting taking a knee during the national anthem against police brutality- " They shouldn't be protesting, they hate the military, go somewhere else with that crap."

End result- Confine all the protesters to a enclosed area where they cant be seen or heard and silencing their voice.

First off, the anthem at the beginning of an NFL game is not the place to protest. Police brutality has nothing to do with the NFL, America in general, or the Federal government. That's like picketing McDonalds because of something you find offensive at Target. Protesting during the anthem comes across first and foremost a statement of hating the US. Claiming it's for an unrelated "good cause" is either dishonest or moronic.

Secondly, your #1 spokesperson and the guy who started this (probably he started it because he was upset at being benched for Blaine Gabbert and originally had nothing to do with the police) was protesting police brutality while wearing a Castro shirt. How clueless can this movement be if that's the case?

A minor point, if I may.  Since 1964, the Federal Government has taken on the role of minimizing and punishing police brutality.
My fellow southpaw Mark Brunell will probably always be my favorite Jaguar.
