  1. Last year we had the benefit of flying under the radar, the easiest schedule I've ever seen, and a very healthy roster throughout the season for the most part. I don't think we get any of those breaks this season. Even with the added talent a 9-7 record wouldn't surprise me.
  2. "Every time a riot develops it helps George Wallace." -MLK
  3. Oh no. They're comfy with their high salaries capitalism provides. What they want is a center left president who makes them feel good about themselves.
  4. Cool moment here except for the annoying comments.
  5. This is great. If you're going to loot you mine as well do it in style.
  6. Good practice run for next February. Early 1940's probably.
  7. I was alluding to the rioting and looting.
  8. He also tweeted that vaccines cause autism and he's never seen a skinny person drink diet coke. I don't take that guy seriously.
  9. It's easier to point the finger at one person than examine the structural problems in our society that leads to situations like this.
  10. I wouldn't broadly apply that to all cops although it's definitely true with cops in high crime areas where they're conditioned to see the community as the enemy. Internal coverups among police departments are a major problem and my guess is with this particular officer a lot was swept under the rug before this happened. The mental health of cops also have to be considered as they're on average more stressed, depressed, suicidal, etc. than the average worker in other occupations and less likely to seek help.
  11. No kidding. Nobody here is defending that aholes actions.
  12. That should be obvious considering black people only comprise about 13% of the population while white people compromise about 60%. The best estimates are you're about 2.5 times more likely to be killed by a cop in your lifetime if you're black compared to white in the US. However, black people are more likely to commit crimes so it's difficult to quantify how much racism (at all) is attributed to that number.
  13. Building more trust between police and communities is the best way to accomplish that. Finding more ways for police agencies to integrate their officers into the community should be the goal.
  14. You have to get body camera footage, witness testimony, autopsy results, etc... That's my guess of why it took that long.
  15. Better police training and the mandatory use of body cameras should continue to be the goal. Copernicus, Einstein
  16. Not so sure about that 80% number. Arrests from last night....
  17. Jerry Jones/Mike McCarthy won't trade for Josh Allen. Moot thread.
  18. Those astronauts aren't six feet apart.
  19. I wouldn't discount the cabin fever that Covid 19 caused with these mass protests (and looting/rioting in some cases). A chance to get outside and gather in large groups without being considered selfish just when the weather is getting nicer. Especially with so many people out of work that would normally not have the time to do this.
  20. Kelce is making about $9.3 million per season and that contract was signed in 2016. He'll pry get 13 to 15 million a year and he's worth it in Shanahan's offensive system.
  21. People already formed their views long ago (at least since Ferguson) so it's not going to make the average schmoe take up the cause. What it does do is give Trump the ability to run as the "law and order" candidate to appeal to the "silent majority" like Nixon did in '68.
  22. That was our agreement too. Sweetie, if I kill a person it's over between us.
  23. Or protecting at least half their assets from a civil suit.
