🏈 Now we have NBA teams deciding to boycott the season. Okay. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[Rolltide24]

WNBA is pausing to take a day of reflection and action. Ok, get back to me on how many of the players reflected and what actions were taken today.

I’ve been inspired to walk out today. Walk out of the office. My own protest over something. But damn, I work at home and my boss calls about once a week and will have not idea I’m gone. I guess I better send out an email of my plans...

 

[BamaFan334]

So you walked out yesterday and decided to play today. My question is, if the season did get canceled would you be in a hard hit community advocating for change or will you be playing XBox in your mansion with the occasional side tweet about injustice?

Has there been an actual statement of facts that went down with this shooting? Or do the blm idiots pronounce guilt before even knowing what happened.

 

[50+yeartidefan]

But still.... f he had a knife..if he was a criminal....
I saw the video... 7-8 shots in back....as he was entering car....
Really... cant justify that....

 

[tider79]

Not trying to justify anything....how do the cops know hes not reaching for a gun...

Assume you saw the other video of him on the ground getting up and walking away from cops with guns drawn?

How do you know what he's going to do when he gets in the vehicle?

I try to look at the sum of the parts.

They didn't. I've seen reports that he either had a knife or was reaching for one, as a knife was found in the driver's side floorboard. I don't know if that's accurate or not as it came from a reporter and not a release from the department or DA's office. But, this notion that an officer is not allowed to shoot a suspect in the back is not at all accurate. There have been, and will continue to be, many legally justified shootings where the suspect was shot in the back. Maybe one day they'll change the use of force and force continuum standards and somehow make it illegal, but that would be a very bad idea and I don't see that happening anytime soon. Bottom line, while the courts may eventually decide if it was justifiable or not, this appears to be yet another case being held up by the SJW's that will add to the already irreparable damage they've done to their own cause.

Brian Urlacher weighs in. I haven’t been on Twitter all day but would imagine this caused some waves and some social media red ass...

Brian Urlacher on Instagram: Brett Favre braver than NBA players

At least one Bears player noticed — and he promised more would soon.

Boogers are for flicking at tigers. I have always struggled with gray, I see the world in black and white/right and wrong. Everything going on with the riots, blm, antifa, can be placed at the feet of the democrat party. The young man that shot the people attempting to kill him was justified but I he shouldn’t have been there. There will be a lot more of this and it belongs to the democrats. If you’re a democrat.........

So now the Mets and Marlins pulled a stunt for the ages. Mets took the field to start the first, everyone came out of the dugout and lined the foul lines, they had a moment of silence, then left the field with only a BLM shirt at home.

I understand replay, but I'm guessing no one on tv saw it live since it was before the game? Not a very good protest when no one sees it.

It happened at what was supposed to be the start of the game. I am not sure if it was on TV or not though.

I saw....point....7-8 times in back?
I back the blue 100%. Tough enough job....as it is....

Anyway...these police will need to start factoring in...."after the shoot" aspect of their lives

If all you saw was him appearing to getting in the car, and not the preceding events, you're missing a just little bit more of the action.
There's a whole lot more to this story than that.

Yeah, he should not have been there. If the Governor, and the State, County, and Local authorities had been directed to quell, disperse, and control any unauthorized assemblies, then individuals such as the 17 Year-old defending himself from the 'crazies' would not have been there. If the authorities don't protect the citizenry, then those citizens that are brave enough, will have to step in and put their lives, and livelihoods on the line. But, if that promotes a certain Party's agenda, they're all for it, because then comes the call for 'Gun Control', instead of 'Criminal Control'.

When all the players in the NBA gather in ChiCongo for a weekend to help prevent the normal weekend shooting of 50-70 people (black on black) then you can better know they're working to resolve something.

7-8 times in back at point blank range.....,you ok with that?

Like i said earlier...police need to also think how their actions will affect them and their families....

Thats not fair...but in todays atmoshphere...its a reality....

464 murders in Chicago as of August 16th according to the Chicago Tribune. Just looked at the Chicago Sun Times and the number is 482. 281 black males shot and killed this year alone.

Reports indicate the Kenosha, WI riots were dwindling and mostly peaceful in contrast with the previous two nights. I wonder what calmed them down?

 

[PurlJam]

Tried to take a knee and walk out on my job during a management meeting to show my protest, they told me there was no reason for me to return, they would move on without me.
