Man hope you are never at the other end of it. It is too much and if that is their training than it is definitely a problem. 7 shots in the back is excessive. A good marksman only need 1 shot to immobilize, max 2 or 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roberts Posted August 27, 2020 Author Share Posted August 27, 2020 it wasn't just 7 shots, he resisted arrest, resisted being tasered, then opened his car and reached for a knife. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post -SN- Posted August 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 27, 2020 7 minutes ago, Stelar said: missing a day of hockey is going to cause a larger race divide? Really? Don't you remember the great Race War of 2020 when hockey was cancelled for months due to Covid? What's another day guys. Nobody is saying these (apparent) cancellations will solve racism - that's a ridiculous straw man and over-simplification. This also isn't about a singular incident. It's about bringing attention to a massive issue, showing support, and sparking discussion. 5 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be on the other end because I am not idiot and don't fight with police officers and then walk away from them. I would fully expect to get shot if I did something that stupid. George Floyd did everything right and got murdered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Everything will be better in 24 hours, right? Any idea when they're going to play Game 3? Well, we went months without sports, we can wait one day to get back at 'er. If this sit-out helps someone in any way, then I guess it's good. I would love to know how it would help though, or who this helps. Sports is a positive escape for a lot of people and brings people of all races together. Cancelling games means "they're" winning, whoever "they" are. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You clearly havent heard of how many bullets a drugged up person can take and keep going. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty incredible how the media misled everyone on the truth behind the shooting in question. This should be a MASSIVE part of the entire narrative.

Popular Post Petey40 Posted August 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 27, 2020 (edited) Man some people on this board they’re postponing for a day or two in solidarity with a movement to fight against racism, and people are upset about that? That’s insane. At least they’re trying to do something instead of just ignoring and continuing on like nothing's happening. The fact people are actually upset about postponing for a day or 2 is mind blowing. Edited August 27, 2020 by Petey40 5 3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishopshodan Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 If the nhl resumes tomorrow and there is another incident next week, do they pause again? I feel the players were pressured. There are 400 personal stuck in the bubbles making up the 8 teams left. They are playing for their dream and mean while can't wait to be home with their families. I just wish there could be another way, maybe pressure owners to donate profits for the playoffs to a BLM org or don't play? use your pre and post game interviews to champion the cause, as you have a platform to due so on national broadcasts. I have no real issue with it but I am disappointed and believe there are other ways to show support. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
