Nah, I think he's genuinely embarrassed because he knows how bad of a move it was, because OAN is a total joke at best and divisive propaganda at worst. And there are some serious questions about who is truly bankrolling and involved with that network. I mean, the names of some of their anchors are "Adonis Albright" and "Chanel Rion" for example. People can watch what they want, of course, but at least admit that it's borderline satire at best. Adonis Albright??! lol dude And folks, if Mike Gundy of all people is embarrassed about his outed support then woo boy, good luck to this "network".

Making awful contrarian takes about everything is an industry right now. A handful of basement neckbeards probably agree and gave him a retweet.

Yeah and he was so sick that he couldn't play and the Bills lost? So quite serious. Now let's upgrade that and make it far more infectious.

This thread is crazy. It's a "novel" coronavirus for a reason, as you can tell by the breadth of responses here. There's still a tremendous amount of questions which is why there will be no normal any time soon. At best I'm hoping for some kind of truncated season in a bubble, and I'm convinced that there's no way any of us will be attending a major sporting event live for at least the rest of 2020. Genuinely curious if there's any truth to the immunity part? I've heard otherwise but have been taking a bit of a media break lately so may have missed an update. Awesome if true, but if not, then this is exactly the kind of serious confusion that I'm talking about.

As many have said, he's not very good, but he's also not bad? He's an enigma, he's Fitz. $63 million in career earnings now I believe? Simply incredible. I hope he puts another 5 years together.

No of course not. Minnesota's kind of a mess right now. Something tells me Cousins probably isn't going to be bringing them any rings any time soon.

I could not agree more with this. I've watched the argument in the past few weeks shift from "don't mess with police officers or you could get hurt" to now "don't even approach police officers or you could get hurt". That's exactly part of the problem.

Why can't the right do better than Laura Ingraham? So shrill, so biased, nothing interesting. I'm legitimately surprised that they haven't shifted to a younger mouthpiece yet. Tomi and Candace are ready to go. You all love Chanel Rion from OAN. Why are you still dealing with obviously racist, awkward Laura? She's objectively not interesting to watch and has been just running into weird situations left and right. I'm pretty sure her largest sponsor is still Depends, no joke. Sorry, just checked it out and Depends actually dropped her. Her biggest advertisers now are the MyPiilow guy and Pray.com because of course.

Live in Denver where cops just marched with the protestors arm in arm. Agitators are scorned and kicked out. The few dozen that run through the streets at night are easily controlled and folks show up at the capitol at 6am to clean any mess that they left behind. First couple of nights were rocky but civility one. Go Team Cannabis. Sorry to see this tonight, Buffalo. You guys are my home and I love you, but the cops involved need to go. If they do, hopefully cool heads prevail.

I don't like seeing cops get stabbed in the neck either. No, I think a ***** ton of people talking about it is due to the brutal and graphic nature of the video. My point is that it's probably not going to be forgotten tomorrow and immediately swapped for the next awful video of the day.

***** I gotta lighten up in this thread apparently

Not sure if you're accusing me, or people in general of virtue signaling, but this is actually the number one trending story on Twitter right now. I expect this to be a big deal tomorrow.

I'm more grossed out by the way they just all walk past him, regardless of level of force. I don't know, maybe there's protocol or something in terms of waiting for a medic that I'm overlooking, but it damn sure looks like they continue to treat him, and then ignore him, as an agitator after he starts bleeding out of his ears.

It's what broke me tbh. Took a breath and cracked a beer. Kudos. I'm pissed though. Other people are pissed. I'm not out there because I have a kid but I'm watching everything and am not coming away with a good view of the police (typically live streams, so cool your jets conspiracy theory anti-media weirdos). Even your statement about how the old man should have known better. Isn't that part of the problem? Shouldn't a harmless old man be able to approach the police? We've gone from "never mess with the police because they may kill you" to "don't even approach police because they may kill you".

It was emotional, I'll admit it. No, it's not actual fascism. Let's move on.

It's all going to go back to normal guys. It was a perfect system with no need for change whatsoever. We'll be enjoying water parks and having office happy hours again in no time.

Ah man, ya got me. I'm beyond frustrated at our current situation and sickened by that video of Buffalo, and am waffling between fascism and almost fascism. Micro-victory for you.

Wildest of strawmen, I'm almost impressed

It's getting a little too damn close for my liking. It certainly isn't community support right now either.

I'm saying it's a fascist force when they clearly stop caring about protecting the people and are seemingly more interested in protecting a right wing system. Explain to me what that old man could have possibly done to deserve having his head caved in, and then have the same "protect and serve" bunch of bullies ignore him bleeding on the sidewalk? I'm not a fan, although I guarantee he won't stock his cabinet and inner circle with inexperienced sycophants which is an immediate upgrade. Probably going to be the most important VP pick in history.

Lazy. You may have had a point at some time in history, but how can you watch that video from Buffalo and say otherwise?

Absolutely fascist scum pushing that poor man over like that, and the worst part is that none of them stopped to help. They instead concerned themselves with the next peaceful protester. People who cheer this or think that we will ever return to a previous normal are clearly wrong, and dwindling, quickly. Keep championing shills like Candace Owens (a convenient liberal from three year back who pronounces coup like "chicken coop") and a clearly fascist President all you want, but the more cops that beat innocent people the more Republicans are finished. Murkowski broke today. Mattis went off yesterday. Lincoln Project is chipping away at his support. Keep telling yourself that none of this matters, red team. I hope he survives, but that looks terrible.

Tre White all day

That sucks to hear man, and is surprising. I feel like this would be worse in a rural town since the police ratio would be way off, and any available resources would likely be assisting the nearby largest city. But to the theme of the thread for the last few pages, is that also being funded and organized by some main organization? I say it's impossible. I can't fully articulate the reasoning for why everybody's joining in, but I think it's some combination of genuine anger, and the fact that instagram influencers are an actual thing in our society right now. And probably a good dose of what Big Blitz posted a couple posts back.

It's really not, man. I know the conspiracy theory is easy, but if you've been following antifa/BLM/etc. for the last decade, you'd know that the network is huge, and that it's all largely just a nebulous definition for left-wing protesters in general. The very boring common denominator here is that most of the people out there are young, and they're either mad, or bored, or dumb, or yes influenced, or some combination of. There are protests/riots currently in Petal, Mississippi, Fayettevile, NC, and Santa Rosa, CA. Relatively small towns, in addition to every major city where this is going off. This is not being funded by some all-seeing, all-powerful group (if it is, we're in trouble). This is unfortunately very organic.
