Partey came on towards the end and scored a penalty at the end, but ultimately couldn't save himself from going out of the cup

I think it shows how desperate Arteta is becoming, there is no way his mind could be in the right place, guilty or innocent.

Correct. But it's not a competition.
You derided them raising attention of an important issue - that's despicable and pathetic political point scoring

Noticed he got booed today, and on Tuesday. “She said no Partey, she said no” rang around the away end against Saudi Sportswashing Machine. Does he get that sort of stick every game?

I derided nothing, would love to know how you interpreted that, nor do I understand how it's political.
You may find ignoring sexual violence OK but I don't, and highlighting one social issue does not in any way give you the right to ignore others.

Yes you did. In response to me pointing out they are wearing white to highlight knife crime you decided to respond by suggesting they should be highlighting something else, instead seeing the positive of the community action they are taking (one which they started before the current police investigation into sexual assault).
As far as suggesting I am ok with ignoring sexual violence - go fudge yourself. I happen to volunteer in the community at a very prestigious level within criminal justice, so I will not have my integrity questioned.

Barry you are seriously misinterpreting things here.
Arse Anal are raising awareness of knife crime, that is not in question.
One of their players is accused of SA, that is not in question.
Glasgow didn't say that you were OK with ignoring SA, you have completely missed the point here.

I think the point Glasgow was making (and they'll correct me if I have it wrong) is that as well as this specific gesture, Arsenal could also have taken a hard stance on another matter (and thus stated their position with an approprite action) which it appears is conclusive in it's definitiveness bar actually publicly naming the situation and specifics.

Arsenal have championed a worthy cause, they should be commended for, I applaud them for that.
However, I will make two points,
1, they are not restricted to one cause,
2, taking a stance on one worthy cause does not absolve them of their responsibilities to other equally worthy causes.
Arsenal as a club have chosen to harbour a man frequently and consistently linked to domestic and sexual violence. A man who but for a technicality would most likely be in jail, a man who has all but admitted his guilt.
In this day of brand protection, that arsenal from owners to players, the FA and the PL have chosen to ignore this of fall over themselves to do as little as possible to deal with it I find utterly bizarre.
Should this break, and I can no reason why it shouldn't, there has to be some very serious questions asked about those three organisations.
Even the binfire of a club that is man utd dealt better with the Greenwood incident than arsenal have.
Knife crime is a hideous issue and stirs strong emotions in some, as do other issues with some people.
