Honestly I am not sure what I would do in Sean Payton's position, if I were my initial inclination would be to focus on my job and not get involved.

But..

Scrolling through social media I can tell that 80% of my players, people that look up to me, are being effected by this issue and every other posting is a molested martin Luther King Jr. quote echoing that "silence is compliance".
His move was tactical and well played given the presumption that saying nothing means he is okay with all of it.

His comment is valid, the only way to change the system is to vote differently. He did not target anyone that he had to deal with locally which is smart, instead he targeted someone that was insignificant in the grand scheme of things but still pointed the finger at the system.

Because it is the system isn't it? There are 1000 +/- civilians shot to death by police every year and assuming human error factor of at least 5% that equates to 50 bad shootings per year. Since 2005 only 35 officers have been convicted for fatal shootings. Police Chiefs cant fire, DA's don't Prosecute, Judges don't convict, and Mayors turn a blind eye. What is the missing factor? Unions Reps are the first thing a cop asks for, they provide counsel and have the power (votes) to pressure the elected officials.

Politicians and the media want you to miss the Forrest for the trees.

Note: I say insignificant because the POTUS is not supposed to be involved in matters of the sate and he need to go in his closet and shut up.
