The problem that some of us see is that you view someone not showing respect in the manner you dictate as disrespect.  Taking a knee is still a means of showing respect.  They also have a problem with the respect you demand not being returned to them and people like them and that is why they are drawing attention to themselves.  You are asking them to have the same respect that you and I may have while they have to be taught how not to sustain abuse from the people you and I have to protect us and provide order.
