I see.
I just find it hilarious people have no problem with this and are fine with slapping him on the wrist and going back to rooting for this guy? You...really feel comfortable rooting for this guy? I'm sure the NFL is littered with scumbags that don't put their scumbaggery out in the light like the moronic ones do, but KNOWING this is how this guy feels, you're comfortable having him on the team? Pretty sad, IMO.
Here's the thing... how do you absolutely know for certain that's how he feels towards all police officers? He posted the picture a week ago, right after the New Orleans and Minnesota shootings and well before the Dallas incident, and immediately took it down. You've never said or done something that you didn't mean out of emotionally charged anger? I know I'm guilty of doing so, and even though I would only have myself to blame, I would hate if my character was judged forever off that one isolated incident alone. I'm not saying he feels that way or he doesn't, I don't know the guy personally, but assuming the worst doesn't help anything. I'm not a black male in today's world, so I can't sit here and say how this man should feel in the heat of the moment. Obviously, it was an incredibly stupid thing for him to do, but I would rather give this man the opportunity to redeem himself then bury him.
At the end of the day everyone is entitled to their opinion and from what I've seen it's a pretty broad spectrum of extremes. Some people wanted him released yesterday, some people think he should get a slap on the wrist, and some think somewhere in the middle. It sounds like the NFL is sort of blowing it off and saying he apologized and that's that. The Browns seem legitimately pissed about it, and probably gave him a final warning that any more fuck ups on or off the field and he's gone, but if nothing's happened yet I don't expect it to happen now.
