    Read the first link, he wrote it himself "Why I Support Reform Prosecutors".

    He's spent nearly $30 million dollars funding their campaigns.

    Thankfully they can be recalled, already happened in San Francisco, looks like it will happen in Los Angeles. These are left-wing cities but even they don't want his brand of chaos.

    I respect good black people, my family and myself have many black friends so I don’t say this lightly but enough is enough.

    The point has been made with the ‘knee’ but I for one will no longer be applauding it at football games or elsewhere.

    If you are a genuine nice human being you will go through life respecting your fellow human being whatever colour or ethnicity they may be.

    Swansea City as a team have chosen this season not to take the knee, others should follow but, not forget to still show respect.

    That's not really football is it, being respectful to the away team?

    Same with the away fans with the home team, "same old English, always cheating", wasn't that racist from the Swans fans?

    Certainly not respectful.

    I appreciate it’s a team game but why have they chosen as a team not to take the knee. For me this the problem.

    If a player wants to take the knee let him. If he doesn’t want to that should also be fine. It should be a choice.

    Unfortunately it never has been an individuals choice. Irrespective of arguments for and against, that can’t be right.

    Howdy, collectively they may well have had a team meeting and decided as a team not to continue with it. They have black players and I’m sure as individuals they will have still chosen to take the knee had they chosen to do so without fear of retribution.

    Anyone who thinks that a white player could unilaterally decide to stop "taking the knee" is living in Cloud-Cuckoo Land, they would be hounded out of the game.
