I voted 'no' because unless they kneel for the entire 8m 46s then I think it is disrespectful to Sir Floyd.
Last night it was outrageous that they barely even lasted a minute, what are they doing, taking the piss?
Do it properly or don't do it at all. Sir Floyd deserves complete respect.

I support any kind of non-violent protest, as should anyone who values civil liberties. Whether I think any of it will effect change in a positive direction is another matter though. Long-lasting social reform isn't something that will be achieved by footy players kneeling, people wearing BLM shirts, clenched fists of solidarity or the dropping of poignant hashtags on social media.
If it were a simple statement against racism, that didn’t involve the kneeling linked to the BLM movement, then I think it would only be a very tiny number of people that were against it.
It being tied to the BLM movement is why I voted no in this poll - getting rid of the Police and dismantling capitalism seem to be as much of their reason for existence as racial harmony is.
All I ask is for this thread to remain open so we get a good number of votes. I'm willing to bite my tongue to allow that.

Interested how you get that % can you please elaborate, or maybe reference a link etcNo one is suggesting getting rid of the police. People just want to change things so Aboriginal people are not 700% more likely to die at the hands of the police, or in police custody than non-Aboriginal people.
It's a great example for me to point at on tv for my son when I tell him that everyone is the same
