@JustinVerlander I 100% disagree with this. America is never more together than when they stand, or kneel, together for injustice.

And that is exactly the point of the Black Lives Matter movement, Justin Verlander. Black people are asking to stand together and to be treated fairly by not only the police, but our nation as a whole.Agreed... There are people DYING protecting our freedom as well. My point: let's all stand TOGETHER to create change. #standtogether https://t.co/83Dz0xqofe
