BACK. OFF.

7 Shots to someone that was tackled, tapered with no effect, clear and present danger to his ex and kids, had a weapon and then threatening to cause harm with a deadly weapon they are holding....

Today I spoke to a friend who was a volunteer youth hockey coach in TO area. He told me how bad racism was directed towards him that he and his buddy both quit doing it. That's Toronto, not Tennessee. 

 

Most of us believe hockey is our national sport.  Maybe through the love for the game, we can build a better nation. 

It was rampant all throughout my playing days...but that was 90s..  Some of the $&!# I heard parents yell at team mates and opponents was down right vile.

donations on the Black Lives Matter website go directly to a company called ActBlue Charities, which is the Democratic Party’s leading online donor platform.

I saw this but couldn't remember where.

Thanks

As I’ve meantioned in previous comments earlier on this. I’m not a fan of cops with guns and I know my perspective is different coming from the UK and having lived around Europe as well.

 

but the number of bullets per say isn’t an indicator of anything. Police are trained to fire at the largest part of the body (the torso area) and to unload the whole clip. This is because it’s quite difficult to hit smaller areas that move more, go for an arm of leg or head could easily. It’s especially if moving, torso is larger and moves less. 
 

Whatever the circumstances that come to light actually turn out the be the issue is whether a gun should have been used or not, not how many  bullets were fired. Once that trigger was pulled it would always have been a full clip

unbelievable 
 

 

It's easier to dismiss people as "the left" "the right" "SJW" "MAGA hick" or whatever.  Nobody wants to have an actual discussion about a serious issue

I never once heard a kid say something racist during play.

 

It was always the coaches/parents.

I am not trying to be a dck, and I would be saying this is the man was white,  or any other colour . I thought this is what people were supposed to be doing ....having discussions. I am always willing to have an open mind , and not even saying this is 100% the way it is and wont hear anything else. These are my honest thoughts at this point .

This is also how they are trained to react, 100% of the time. The time from "grabs the knife" to it being plunged into your neck can be less than a second. I honestly wonder what utopia people believe we live in where people police should not do this every single time, to anyone, regardless of color.

I just think it's a bit extreme. I would rather the cops try more de-escalation or even let the guy go, and catch up with him later. Pumping 7 shots into his back is a massive over-reaction, and it's easy to see how it may have been influenced by race. The police are not supposed to be judges or executioners. 

 

In any case, the discussion is about far more than this one incident.

No, say what you will about any politician or policy on either side, the Democrats have a near monopoly on projection.  Both sides have their faults and flaws, but the Democrat side is where to go if you want to be fed projection and pretend it tastes good.

 

How on earth any party can call Trump a racist and then run Biden as their candidate is beyond me.

 

 

Now watch this guy take a knee and let's all gather around and cheer about what a racist Trump is.

 

Seriously? you want to go there?  Cherrypicking one of Joe's dumb gaffs, compared to the long history of racism by Trump is pretty ballsy.

 

https://www.vox.com/2016/7/25/12270880/donald-trump-racist-racism-history

 

Projection is ..calling Hillary (and I'm no fan) "crooked" when she has never been convicted of a crime. Calling Obama corrupt when his record of indictments in his admin is 0, compared to over a hundred in Trump's admin already. Saying in 2016 Democrats are going to "rig" the election, when you have Putin working to help rig it for you. Along with Republican governors who gerrymander and close voting stations, and work to disenfranchise eligible voters. Saying you are for law and order and the other side isn't when its you and your appointees that are always flouting the law, ignoring subpoenas, money laundering, lying to the FBI. Even pardoning criminals because they illegally helped your campaign. "Pro family" but separating them in cages. Saying the other candidate, a devout Catholic, is against God, when you declare how you don't need God, can't name one verse, and engage in adultery with porn stars, cheating small contractors, running scam universities, without remorse. Holding up the Bible in a staged event to pretend you care about Christians (or want their votes). His ties to organized crime, the Russian mafia go way back. Trying to frame an opponents child for a sham "investigation" by extorting a foreign leader while you engage in nepotism and your own children  use your position for monetary gain. Saying Obama left him nothing to fight the pandemic, when he defunded and dismantled the pandemic task force Obama had set up after ebola crisis. Saying you are going to build a better healthcare than Obama while youre in court trying to put back in the "pre-existing conditions" clause for private insurers again that was eliminated in the ACA.  I could go on.  Laughable to say that Republicans don't use projection as one of  their primary tools of deflection whenever they get caught dong something wrong.

 

I'm done here. I'm heading out to let the sun project itself on me.

Well, personally I'll wait to brand the cop as a racist nazi until the facts come out. Were they threatened before he walked to his car? Was the witness lying ? Like none of this is being talked about in the media for the most part, it's just a case of a " rasist cop" and dont ask questions?

I heard that as well but far less.  Lets just say a team from Sooke were really bad in a multitude of ways... 

 

I think we heard the Oreo line comment every road game one year in Bantam AAA.

I think I should stop supporting Breast Cancer research.  Obviously it is a ploy by the Illuminati to distract us from other diseases so that they can use them to control the voting population.

[Qwags]

I'm far more concerned with the fact a 17-year old came from out of state just to gun down 2 protesters, and was essentially guarded by police.

I'm feeling this is the csnucks year to win the stanley cup.  The stars are aligning with us.  Another break means Myers can recoup till Saturday!!!!!!

It totally depends on what actually happened.  The video doesn't give any other context, like threats to the officers  , threats to the kids in the car if some nature  , exct. What transpired before hand ..... like nothing other then the shots and him being black are being covered extensively at all. That's not ok to me.

I was waiting today to pick up my wife after her job, she's working on distance learning registration in a local school. 

I spent my time watching  a couple of city workers trying to remove hate messages recently spray painted on the rainbow crosswalk, one that the kids had requested be created.

 

Do better, humans.
