The argument about disrespecting the flag or the anthem is just a rhetorical cover for their real point which is: “Stop calling attention to police abuse. You are making the nation look bad.”
“We can never undo what we have done. We can never go back in time. We write history with our decisions and our actions. But we also write history with our responses to those actions. We can leave the pain and the damage in our wake, unattended, or we can do the work of acknowledging and fixing, to whatever extent possible, the harm that we have caused.”
