Have recent events made you reevaluate John Tortorella's vow to bench any player that knelt for the anthem or otherwise protested?

In the past, most folks on r/hockey have defended Tortorella's stance on protests, frequently saying that Tortorella is actually a really great guy, that his son is in the Army Rangers, that he does a lot of work for the community, and that he really loves dogs. Many commenters here have also been hostile to the suggestion that Tortorella's views suggest a problem with hockey culture or could be sending a hostile message to minority players or fans.

So I'm wondering if recent events have actually made anyone here reevaluate their opinion of these kinds of protests and/or Tortorella's view of these kinds of protests. If so, why? If not, why not?
