  1. He replaced him as a priority target. Beasley was formerly the 2nd option in the offense. He's now at best the 3rd, or possibly the 4th depending on Knox. His role in the offense didn't change.
  2. I think Beane did "replace" Beasley with John Brown who he replaced with Diggs. I don't need Beasley to be off the roster, but I also think he's a guy you're looking to replace this offseason with someone that offers more.
  3. I'm not so sure. He'll be a 3rd/4th option in this offense going forward. Get had 106 targets last year, so anyone with that kind of volume is going to put up some stats. His drops are just so bad and he's not much of a threat with the ball in his hands.
  4. Cole Beasley does kind of suck.
  5. They probably would. You suggested a "HUGE Majority" of americans don't fear the police and I supplied data that suggests the exact opposite. What are you basing your estimation on? A small group of people that you know personally who maybe share similar cultural, political, racial and geographic similarities to yourself? " 78% of Black Americans see deaths of African-Americans during encounters with police in recent years as part of a larger problem, not isolated incidents African-Americans are more likely to be very worried that they or someone in their families will be a victim of police using deadly force than they are to be very worried about becoming a victim of violent crime, according to the latest Economist/YouGov poll. Black (63%) fear of police violence is greater than white (21%) fear; there is much less difference when it comes to worry about violent crime in general (52% of black people and 50% of white people are worried about this)." https://today.yougov.com/topics/politics/articles-reports/2019/03/15/black-americans-police
  6. This is all starting to make a lot of sense. His words: "We may well be in the most violent times in history, but violence is still remarkably rare. This is because most citizens are kind, decent people who are not capable of hurting each other, except by accident or under extreme provocation. They are sheep. I mean nothing negative by calling them sheep. To me it is like the pretty, blue robin’s egg. Inside it is soft and gooey but someday it will grow into something wonderful. But the egg cannot survive without its hard blue shell. Police officers, soldiers and other warriors are like that shell, and someday the civilization they protect will grow into something wonderful. For now, though, they need warriors to protect them from the predators. “Then there are the wolves,” the old war veteran said, “and the wolves feed on the sheep without mercy.” Do you believe there are wolves out there who will feed on the flock without mercy? You better believe it. There are evil men in this world and they are capable of evil deeds. The moment you forget that or pretend it is not so, you become a sheep. There is no safety in denial. “Then there are sheepdogs,” he went on, “and I’m a sheepdog. I live to protect the flock and confront the wolf.” Or, as a sign in one California law enforcement agency put it, “We intimidate those who intimidate others.”" ----- He's a sociopath pushing a pseudoscience he invented as "the way things are" He teaches uneducated impressionable people that police are sheepdogs and everyone out there is a potential wolf in sheep's clothing. It's a culture of aggression that he invented. Like L. Ron Hubbard, Joseph Smith other charlatans, this man is a con artist who preys on the naive. He's no "sheepdog" - he's a fox. https://newrepublic.com/article/158136/military-veterans-police-sheepdog-problem
  7. The data suggests the opposite of what you claim: "About half of American adults now say police violence against the public is a “very” or “extremely” serious problem, up from about a third as recently as September last year. Only about 3 in 10 said the same in July 2015, just a few months after Freddie Gray, a black man, died in police custody in Baltimore." https://apnews.com/728b414b8742129329081f7092179d1f
  8. There we go again with the personal attacks. David Grossman is a sociopath. If I had to point to one person responsible for the cult of violence within the police department, he'd be a great place to start.
  9. It seems we're finally starting to find common ground. What they've been taught through "Killology: the scholarly study of the destructive act" and qualified immunity is indeed a massive part of the problem.
  10. You can always tell when someone's argument hold such little water that they need to resort to unfounded personal attacks.
  11. I agree. Hopefully through exposing their crimes we can raise awareness and bring positive change.
  12. Why would you want that? I wouldn't want that.
  13. I'm making no argument that requires a police officer to fire their weapon in order to be a bad actor. No weapon was fired at George Floyd or Eric Garner, domestic abuse does not require any weapons to be fired, nor does the assault of protesters and/or journalists.
  14. I don't know for certain, and am not making any claim where I feel that is relevant. It doesn't matter to me.
  15. Back to the topic at hand: LA Branch of organized terrorist police group assault journalist Sean Beckner-Carmitchel
  16. I can't help how you continually incorrectly perceive information, it's nothing of the sort.
  17. ANTIFA is a result of fascism. If you want ANTIFA gone, the good news is I've got a 100% surefire way to do that immediately. Stop police from killing, assaulting, abusing members of the public. You seem to be arguing that police brutality has arisen from anti-fascism. It's the other way around. Nope. Like Sig's "advice" to me, it's just a knowledge of history being shared.
  18. Might want to avoid parking your car in LA?
  19. No, I think that techniques based on an understanding of human psychology might. Maybe they should keep doing it like they did, though. It seemed to work well. In fact next time you don't get a satisfactory result anywhere you happen to be, just try repeatedly yelling what wasn't already effective and then start amping up the threats. I'm interested in your results.
  20. No, it doesn't. A+B does not equal C.
  21. There are terrible people in every profession. Not just terrible at their job, but terrible human beings. People that murder, assault, abuse, etc. The big difference between being a financial advisor that randomly beats up clients and being a cop that beats up protesters, is that I don't think your co-workers will idly stand by while you do it, or even join in, and then back you up later during investigations. They'll either stop you, get help or tell the truth about what happened later. I've shared so many examples in this thread, but just taking the Martin Gugino example - there are 57 other officers on that street where the two buffalo cops pushed him down. Not one checks to see if he's ok, not one confronts or apprehends their fellow officer, not one calls for an ambulance or goes for help. They watch, or maybe even ignore, as a 75 year old man with a now fractured skull bleeds out on a sidewalk. He spent 8 weeks in the ICU. 8 weeks. I'm not sure how they do things at your advisory firm, but maybe you can tell me. Is that how your coworkers, is that how YOU would respond if someone at your shop did that?
  22. Have I failed to provide evidence for any of my statements? I think you'll find that if you look through the thread, I've backed up my statements with credible sources at every opportunity. Just because you don't like the words, that doesn't make them false. By definition they are terrorists. I'm using it literally, not as a slur. I've provided dozens of example sin this thread and others as evidence. terrorist noun ter·ror·ist | \ ˈter-ər-ist \ plural terrorists Definition of terrorist (Entry 1 of 2) : an advocate or practitioner of terrorism as a means of coercion terrorism noun ter·ror·ism | \ ˈter-ər-ˌi-zəm \ Definition of terrorism : the systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion If you actually knew me, I think you'd find I'm anything but a naturally angry person, but watching the powerful prey on the powerless does bring that out of me. I would be far more concerned about a person that was totally ok with publicly paid government employees committing wanton acts of violence on the public.
  23. Power via compliance of the population based on fear. Have you not seen the examples of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs refusing to obey the law set forth by lawmakers with respect to the mask mandates and shutdown orders? They are servants refusing to carry out their sworn duties. They are serving their own political desires instead of that of the people. https://www.courthousenews.com/some-us-police-refuse-to-enforce-virus-mask-mandates/ https://nypost.com/2020/08/12/florida-sheriff-bans-cops-from-wearing-masks-on-the-job/ https://www.newsobserver.com/news/coronavirus/article243054951.html This of course extends to their arresting of journalists on no merit as evidenced above along with a quick google of "journalists arrested settlement". and on and on ad nauseam
  24. I think this is all overblown. How many QBs can you recall who got seriously hurt because of contact they sustained acting like a running back? I can't think of any outside of ACLs and similar, but I can think of a whole host of situations where QBs were injured because they slid, held the ball too long in the pocket, took bad sacks, etc.
