There's a reason why many blacks are being arrested though, right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's sad how easily people are brainwashed. if someone says defense matters in hockey, they aren't implicitly saying that scoring doesn't. It would be odd to respond to "defense matters" by bringing up all other things that also matter in hockey. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your brother had been picked on all his life, and he snaps and demands an apology, you should stand by him instead of saying "It's all about you".

We need more psychiatric beds, they take these people to jail because they have no beds in the institutions. Cops are not trained to deal with all that, they are hammers, to hammer everything looks like a nail. So i have worked in the mental health field for probably 15 plus years now - 25 if you include my time in construction (try dealing with tradesmen) and I used to work in community living and some of the individuals who came into our care straight out of the institution had extreme behaviours and a very difficult time adapting to a "normal" life. And these were the ones classified as suitable for community living. I can only imagine what happened to the other people they just released out on their own. I 100% agree the police are not taught how to deal with mental health and that needs to change. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've conducted themselves well off the ice and on the ice. Proud of this team regardless if they make the next round or not. Yeah, it gives a few more days for Myers to recover if he is close to recovering. Also,Toffoli will have extra time to recover from playing his first game in almost a month...I think this benefits the Canucks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My reasonable and logical self was thinking Blues in 6, and then Vegas in 5. While the latter might still happen, they've just given me so much confidence in the way that they never quit. We saw it during this season too. They're not the Canucks of the last few years where being behind by a goal or two deflates them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've encountered so many BLM supporters that scoff at me when I say all lives matters. They won't even acknowledge that more white people have been actually either killed or injured since this movement started. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeBossy Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Man what a strange trip down the rabbit hole these past few hours have been. While I may not agree with some of the views posted here tonight any discussion about this subject is healthy - which ultimately I think was the goal of the various sports teams postponing games. Time to get back on topic - i am concerned this pause might help Vegas more as they have had more time to come up with a way to counter the game we played the other night. On the other hand it also gives our coaching staff more time to develop new strategies and fix those mistakes we made in the last game. Plus it gets Myers that much closer to returning to the line up. BELIEVE - GO CANUCKS GO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are put in situations multiple times a day where their lives and safety are threatened. They’re not questioning you for poops and giggles. Show some damn respect and do as you’re told. If you’re innocent, the time to sort that out is at the police station. If they truly think you’re guilty, do you think they’re going to let you go just because you gave them attitude and said you’re not? What’s to be gained by doing that? It’s only making the situation worse. The cops aren’t the ones who escalate, it’s the people who give attitude and resist. The minute you do that YOU’VE escalated the situation, not them. Naw...most people have forgotten about personal responsibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Police are supposed to keep the peace and use diplomacy and dialogue whenever possible and any type of force only when necessary. The militarization of police forces in North America has created a lot of these problems. Actually, gun wielding criminals "created a lot of these problems". FTFY.

That was mostly thanks to Reagan. That being said what a psychiatric bed was then is essentially what they use for psychiatric beds now, jail cells.
