Miami Dolphins receivers Kenny Stills and Albert Wilson kneeled during “The Star-Spangled Banner” and defensive end Robert Quinn raised a fist during the song ahead of the team’s season opener against visiting Tennessee. The protests for social justice and against racial inequality, started by former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick in 2016, continued for a third consecutive season and Kaepernick tweeted his praise for Sills and Wilson. “My Brothers @kstills and @ithinkisee12 continue to show their unwavering strength by fighting for the oppressed!” Kaepernick tweeted. “They have not backed down, even when attacked and intimidated. Their courage will move the world forward! Love is at the root of ou

High school football game erupts in controversy as Trump-loving students lob racist taunts at rivals Over the weekend, a California high school football game exploded in controversy after the principal of one high school noticed pro-Trump and racist signs. Jeff Bishop, principal of Santa Ana High School, posted about the alarming behavior on Facebook. “It would have been easy to blame [the loss of the game on] the racist welcome the ‘Saints’ received as they walked into the stadium and read the posters referencing – Trump, ‘We love White,’ ‘Build the Wall’ and various other politically and racially-charged statements,” he wrote. The Santa Ana High School student body is predominantly Hispanic, r e p o r t s the O r a n g e C o u n t y R e g i s t e r .  Students at Aliso Niguel High School are mostly white. He also heard spectators shout “USA, USA, USA!” as if the teams were from different countries. “After hearing chants from the student cheering sec

Staff — including white workers — quit St. Louis shop en masse over owner’s unapologetic N-word use Workers at a St. Louis area lube shop quit in protest after the white owner refused to stop using the N-word around his African-American manager, the R i v e r f r o n t T i m e s r e p o r t e d M o n d a y . DeWayne Wren worked at the East End X-Press Lube in Belleville, Illinois, across the Mississippi River from St. Louis. According to Wren, owner Paul Beeler referred to black kids as “monkeys” and repeatedly used the N-word. “I don’t understand why black people get offended when they’re called [the n-word] when they wear their pants on their ass, because that is what they look like and right now you look like a [n-word],” Beeler reportedly told Wren. The white employees joined Wren in confronting the owner about his use of racial slurs. Wren was then reportedly fired. “They fired Wren because he was black and they did not want to own up to it,” forme

Chicago cops must now radio in incidents when they point a gun at someone  By July 2019, any Chicago police officer who points a gun at someone during an arrest or street stop would have to inform dispatchers by radio of the incident under a deal between Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s administration and Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan’s office that was introduced Thursday. Cops would not have to fill out a use of force report, as they do when they use a Taser or fire a gun, but supervisors would have to review the gun-pointing incident and it would be recorded in city data. The department also would have to develop training on when to point a weapon. The issue of tracking gun-pointing incidents was a late sticking point between Madigan and Emanuel in the push to bring federal judicial oversight to the department, a process sparked nearly three years ago by video of an officer shooting teenager Laquan McDonald 16 times. Lawyers for the two officials have been working toward a con
