Without injustice, there is no sign of protest. ‘NFL Eric Reid Talks George Floyd, kneeling national anthem and a recovery of the athlete’s events

Eric Reid says he can not bear to see the full video George Floyd that black handcuffs man show on Monday in Minneapolis die, while a white police officer kneeling on his neck. The NFL says security watching him for a couple of weeks too familiar to viral clips of killings of unarmed men blacks and is often in the hands of the police. (Recently displays the video of the death of Ahmaud Arbery, the unarmed man watched Georgia killed by a white former policeman and his son). In 2016, Reid, now a free agent, playing the last two seasons for the Carolina Panthers, his team-mate Colin Kaepernick closed at that time San Francisco 49ers last kneels during the national anthem of protest violence police and social injustice spent. Reid continued during the anthem during the Games to kneel while Kaepernick, a close friend of Reid, did not play in the league the season 2016th E ‘annoying, it is not fair, but it continues to happen, “says Reid on police violence against the black community once in an interview on Friday. Reid has seen photos of Derek Chauvin cop juxtaposition, on Friday and with third-degree murder and involuntary manslaughter in the death of Floyd, Floyd kneeling on his neck with those knees by Kaepernick raised in protest was arrested. the images effectively challenge selective indignation: How can you be so offended by Kaepernick, and not destroyed by Floyd’s death on the ground? “my experience with Colin and the boys who knelt with me we said from the beginning, the reason why we did was to shed light on the injustices that happened, “he says. Reid presumably to protect” Those and serve the community, injustice have been perpetuating you actually have to protect ourselves. Whenever someone killed for any reason, this is not acceptable. But more so, if someone has done for people to protect an oath. To kill someone and then as a way for their badge, under his authority, “We just is not right. These incidents leave Reid in his belief even stronger feeling? That his protest necessity during the anthem was needed? “I have the same feeling as I’ve ever heard,” he says. Reid “There was a time when I was not aware of the shedding of innocent blood in this country. And then I became more aware. This does not mean that it happened, no more and no less. It ‘always successful. So I have exactly the same way at any time feel, I see innocent bloodshed of any kind. E ‘disturbing and annoying. “” America is spreading to be the land of freedom, and we preach the freedom and justice and this, and the other, but who is for, “says Reid.” If America does not care of its citizens, then why do we say this? All we want to do is keep America the writing of standard paper. That all men are created equal. “Over the last four years, Reid has faced consistent criticism during the anthem for the knee. In 2017, President Trump NFL players protest” sons of bitches “cried a storm of criticism and the NFL have spent most of the 2017 season, try the dispute overwhelm setting. in the last two seasons have shown fewer players. Given the turmoil that resulted from the Floyd case, we could see a resumption of the knee and other actions visible demonstration of football players and other athletes, if and when back from Sports COVID-19 still? Reid said that he did not keep to score. “For me it does not matter what the action is, or what happens,” he says. Reid “I want justice, and I want to stop injustice. With the media he wants. I’m not the number of people is to count the protest or celebrate the fact that there are 10 guys this week, 20 boys next week. I will be happy when we see a decline in police brutality cases. If we see a decline in blood shed innocent. That is the question. unjust murder. I will praise when stopping. “Right now, Reid could his critics contest put his patriotism and his need call attention to the brutality involved. When I ask him if he had a message for people who have come in the last four years for him, tells me that he does it. “We need to know to make the police officers who are not above the law,” he says. Reid “But that does not mean I want to see a police officer nut. This is not what it means. They must be kept at the same level as everything else. And maybe when they realize it will not be as fast, kneeling on the back of someone’s head. “What to keep their knees plans says Reid circumstances lead his decisions.” I asked this question a million and one times, “he says. Reid” It ‘a smoother response. If something has been done that would make the police officers know that they are not above the law, which would have been paid for the innocent blood brought to justice, you will not have to take a knee. One knee was just peacefully our platform to shine a light on us injustice. Without injustice, there is no sign of protest. No one will be happy if someone is killed. . But will people be sure that when these heinous act is done, there will be retaliation “on social media has given a response to Reid tip vice president Mike Pence, who tweeted on Friday:” We are in the law and order in this country believe. We condemn the violence against property or people. We will always stand up for the right of Americans to protest peacefully and let their voices heard. “Reid, and others, recalled the vice president who has gone from a 49er Indianapolis Colts began in San Francisco in 2017, after more than 20 players Niners, including Reed, knelt peacefully during the anthem. Pence action was clearly put scene. “you have to sing a different tune when it refused our peaceful protest 49 ‘ERS vs gaming Colts, taxpayers’ money wasting your publicity stunt for the scene” tweet Reid. last season scoring Reid 130 tackles and four sacks , both of the Panther team record for a safety. his 97 tackles alone in second place for all titles in the NFL. Even after the initial contract in 2019-three year signed him to a, the panther cut Reid in March . he remains a free agent. After the season 2017, has filed suit against the collusion of the NFL, arguing that teams rent it rejected because of his protest. the Panthers have signed Reid could be based on a one-year contract in September 2018 during the case of collusion NFL Reid and a similar statement Kaepernick in the month of February 2019 to recognize the teams NFL Reid even less willing to sign him because of relapse of Floyd’s death, knowing they will get questions about the incident it can continue to take a knee, which is not subject to a player “Stick Sports.” “After we complained, Colin was not in the field,” said Reid. “I have two discs Pantera last year and cut obtained. It ‘s always been on teams heads. Will they say? No, they will never say. There are legal implications if they come and say that. So they can never say. But their actions prove it. “Reid closes conversation on a note of hope. “I think people should protect their hearts,” he said. “Make sure that the answer to the malignant tumor that has taken place, does not manifest as hatred in your heart. We need more love.” I ask him if he direct this message to protesters who have taken the risk of fire in demonstrations and looting. “Look, I do not want someone to say, what to do,” says Reid. “They make decisions by themselves. I just hope that people do not hate each other. Nothing will come out of this, it will only escalate. People deal with their feelings in different ways. But at the end of the day, I hope that people do things for love, not hatred. ”
