I have to say Roger Stone is one of the most interest personalities to come out of this saga. Listening to him, I am highly impressed. Seriously.
One issue that ironically connects some folks who otherwise would not seem to have much in common is excessive force by the police. A poor black guy getting his door kicked in and roughed up and brings cries mostly from the left. However Roger Stone in a very persuasive and thoughtful manner described how he was arrested.
If the way Stone was taken into custody was excessive then certainly the way in which less educated and financially well off people of color and regular folks are treated is excessive too.
That doesn't change my view and concerns as to the basis of the arrest. But I think our law enforcement is quite often far too excessive in its approach.
So who knows maybe Roger Stone will take a knee along side some of those NFL guys. They are critics of the same system.
