"Fleeing felon" laws give cops the legal authority to use deadly force if they need to stop someone who’s committed a felony from escaping arrest.

Not accurate. Tennessee vs Gardner. Need to be armed

I understand what you say about the main point of my comment, however the coverage and what we see is focused on the bad part of the protests. Maybe the media needs to look at how they cover this and adjust? Truly they are what gets out to the most Americans, but they want to sensationalize everything.

What Kapernick did was was more what i am talking about.. But while kneeling at a football game got things started i don't know that it was the right forum to do it. But it got people talking but did nothing in the end.

I don't know the solution i just wish we could find it

- SabresFaninIndiana


You’re also choosing to focus on that part of the protest too though, right?

I think exploring your 2nd paragraph & last sentence are what we should be focusing on

So what happens if it was your kid doing that stupid crap everyone will defend their child but there is always that one kid that is forced but he is one of the good ones

if my kid was that dumb, he deserves to die and I failed as a parent

He's suggesting that police not have the threat of lethal force due to "more training". Any criminal with an IQ above 40 is going to know he's less at risk. They will get bolder.

You're too busy looking at scenarios and what ifs instead of the underlying issues and the solutions to them.

Is it true that in Virginia rioters set fire to a house with a young child in it and blocked the path for firefighters?

Charge all those with manslaughter if the kid didn't survive

Can't wait for all of these terrorists to be named and charged.

Lots of kids are forced into groups and are good kids I would never take a way a life

can't be any worse then the last 5 days



it happens time and time again


give them a reason to protest, the few will riot and loot



protest during daylight hours only and enforce the curfews set in place when the sunsets and problems go down 99%

But it’s not 1 guy
Keeps happening over & over

And it’s not fair to compare this to other jobs
If i don’t rat on Briana for using the company copier to print flyers for her band’s gig,
it doesn’t remotely have the same weight as what we are talking about here

Maybe i watch too many movies,
but i also have a handful of friends (4) who are cops that have straight up told me they feel like cops would only “rat out” others in extreme circumstances bc of the culture that exists “in the room” so to speak, and even then they’d fear being shunned & called a rat
And 2 of them have straight up said they witnessed things they thought were questionable,
but didn’t say anything & gave their “coworker” the benefit of the doubt in the situation

From what you’re saying,
it sounds like u feel that isn’t really the case

- jdfitz77



It doesn’t happen over and over though fitz. People are saying Floyd is Gardner 2.0.

Gardner was 6 years ago and over TWO BILLION calls for service later. Do you know how statistically rare that is??? Yes there have been a few others during that time. They all get huge media coverage making it seem widespread when it is such a low amount of calls. The reason the media (a business) does?? Look how riled up it got this country.

Hold police accountable. Fire them. Cops themselves want that. Liberal administrators, politicians and unions don’t allow that to happen. The same groups people on here love to support.

We do receive more training, including cultural diversity classes. The numbers of minorities killed are DOWN. Dramatically. it is not wide spread. The media is lying to you and laughing to the bank.

Well some good news, only 20,000 new cases of Corona in the last 24 hours. Let's see what it is by the end of the week. Good thing it doesn't affect minorities worse or anything. Back to phase 1 by the weekend or total social distancing again?
- adambuffalo


The violence and looting are disgusting, but to see most of these perpetrators NOT wearing masks - during a global pandemic - is just effing ridiculous. I'm guessing a huge amount of the 20,000 new cases were a result of mass gatherings.

What the hell is wrong with people ?

they were rioting and looting before Kapernick took a knee


seeing all these people beat up protecting their businesses or just driving in their cars is anything but a peaceful protest


curfews mean nothing as police are told not to enforce it

- homiedclown


How many times on here have u posted about how the Cops were wrong &/or what could/should be done?

And how many times have u posted about the looting & destruction?

Your focus is severely out of proportion
And you’re missing the point

They survived thank god. There is a video of a visibly shaken police chief talking about it. But you will never see that on the MSM. Like with the virus that became more about politics after about a month it’s not even about racial equality anymore. These lunatics won’t listen to anything. It’s becoming a battle of the people that think this is the greatest country in the world vs. the people who absolutely despise everything about this country.

- jdfitz77

no way am I missing the point

when the story is flipped

A. it's not on the news
B. white people are not out rioting and looting



pretty simple, most of these looting and violent acts have happened after the sunset with curfews in place


yet they still exist



the bigger issue is these mayors and governors need to go find their balls



protest during daylight hours only and enforce the curfews set in place when the sunsets and problems go down 99%

If the issue was so important to Kaepernick, then why did he wait to start his silent protest until he got benched? And when he went back in as a starter he was 1-10 (2-6 the previous season.) Could have been blackballed, but perhaps teams thought that he lost his focus on football and his performance reflected that.
Yet, after not playing for 4 years, he still thinks he's worth $20m.
