Not so sure about that. The raised fist during the anthem is the symbol of the Black Panthers. Last year the former leader of the New Black Panther Party, Malik Zulu Shabazz, called for the Panthers to rise up and build an army to kill police on his radio program. The shooter in the Dallas police killings was a member of the Black Panthers facebook page. On many levels the raised fist is more disturbing than kneeling or sitting.
