Again, have not and currently cannot watch the video. Still, he never said a cop called him the N word from what I read. But I do think it is possible that if the cops did threaten to blow his head off that it may have happened before or after the video. Possible. I don't believe Bennett or the police, but I'm not ruling out what either says. I haven't seen a statement from the LVPD. I give Bennett and the police the same benefit of the doubt - I entertain what they claim and then compare it against the facts that come to light. The only evidence so far I am aware of is the video. Let's wait until some more comes forward. My point remains, that if it was the case that he complied and was still told he might get his head blown off, then the police could have done better. If.

Still haven't watched it, so dunno what is or isn't in the video. Regardless, it may have happened before or after the video. Again though, the point is that compliant civilians should not have to face a death threat.

Didn't watch the video, but that's what he said in his letter. Safe to say this discussion is in the context of taking him at his word before discovery happens. Me too, re: bolded, but unsure how that applies to this story. Hypothetical based on what he has alleged: would you feel the same if you were in full compliance and then were being told you might get your head blown off? I think the point is that he says he was complying, but still got mistreated. EDIT: I think what I'm trying to say is they could have just as effectively handled the situation without threatening to blow his head off, especially if he was in fact complying.

I don't care if you're a suspect (means there's been no proof of guilt) or if it's an active shooter situation. Neither calls for telling someone they will get they're head blown off. If the guy receiving the treatment of being told his head will be blown off were the active shooter, I'm also not sure how that helps much. Would hope cops could do their job without making threats on civilian lives.

Like I said, I guess props to those who claim they would be fine after that situation. I think most people would not. Dunno about the list of things people these days are apparently afraid of, but I value my life, so yes, having someone threaten to blow my head off would not sit well. As for what's to be scared about... it's getting your head blown off. I like mine where it is, and also like being able to see the people I care about another day.

Yep. Are there criminals of every type? Sure. Should any innocent person be made to feel like they are about to possibly get shot in the head while on vacation? Fuc|< no.

I'd be pretty upset if I had to go through that. I guess props to those who wouldn't, but my guess is most human beings would be scared $#!+less if put in that situation. No reason any innocent person should have to fear getting their "f-ing head blown off." How saying something like that helps an active shooter situation is beyond me. Seems closer to provoking than protecting. EDIT: Haven't seen the video, so can't comment on that.

No Reid Ferguson?!?!

An unsurprising, but very solid list. I feel like they have been building a team full of ex-captains from college squads. EDIT: A little surprised Tolbert didn't get one. New to the team, but seems like that kind of guy to me. "The team captains were elected by the team" - billsdaily.com

Ah, I see - thanks! So if we bring them back after that time, then the money is not guaranteed? EDIT: Nevermind, above. Much appreciated!

Whys that?

Feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.

Curb kid's afraid to leave his curb.

Sign me up for Thad Lewis, Trevone Boykin, or Joe Webb over TJ Yates.

We could wait to see them play.

This is a bigger surprise than Williams to me.

Can J. Williams wrangle snakes? If not, then I think I know what made him expendable: http://www.democratandchronicle.com/story/sports/columnist/roth/2017/08/04/buffalo-bills-joe-banyard-rattlesnakes/538362001/

At least I can pretend I'm watching Fred Jackson when Banyard is on the field. EDIT: Not too upset about this move. I like Tolbert just as much as Williams. Banyard looked good. Jones didn't look all that bad either. Wish we would have gotten a draft pick though.

Lee is from DET.

Have loved Boldin as a player his whole career, but this ain't cool. I agree with "demand way too high of a pick or pound sand" crowd.

If we don't get Thad Lewis as QB3, then Trevone Boykin who was waived by the Seahawks would be a good pickup.

I'm pretty sure he was injured last year, but not sure about this year. Either way he definitely got a later jump on working himself into the line-up than did Wright.

Yeah, just seems to me like he got more playing time earlier on in the preseason games. They must like both though if they traded for Gaines. EDIT: Plus, Wright has that great Uber story, right? Maybe the PR department gets a say on one roster spot.
