text: Are we preaching hate or patriotism? 
  Are we only "real" Americans as long as we do what the majority approves of? We celebrate that very freedom by hating people that excerise their right for peaceful protest? What is the point of fighting for freedom when we don't use that freedom? 
  
  I am all for kneeling for equality. We have family that has served and is LEO. People in LEO and the Military share a common goal: to protect and serve their country. 
  
  I would respect Flynn for his actions IF he didn't do a FB poll to test the waters. As soon as he asked people what they thought he should do I lost all respect for him. You should protest a cause because you feel strongly about your beliefs, not because how it would make you look. Flynn, typical politician chose to kneel and wear his patriotic pins, effectively straddling the fence for both sides, therefore not standing on either side. 
  
  America was founded by protesters, so hating people that kneel seems unpatriotic. Thank you vets!
