Bill from NYC

If you're out on the road Feeling lonely and so cold All you have to do is call my name And I'll be there on the next train Where you lead, I will follow Anywhere that you tell me to If you need, you need me to be with you I will follow where you lead

We are both entitled to our opinions. When he recovers completely, perhaps you can have him over for dinner. Will you give him the option to wear his helmet at the table?

I am not sure what procedures the BPD had for this event but there looked to be a supervisor on the scene. The point I have been trying to make the whole time was only that this incident does not compare to the one in Minneapolis. A guy got pushed for ill advised behavior and fell. I will honestly state that I hope that the police officers in this case do not get fired over this. This is my opinion, to which I am entitled. I can't open it. Could you tell me about it?

Really? Our perceptions must differ, whereas I am not sensing lost tempers, shouting, name calling, etc.

So he was waiting around until after the imposed curfew to give back the helmet and touch a few cops in riot gear along the way? Does this sound like normal behavior to you. Do you do things like this? I for one do not. Call me crazy but perhaps he could have dropped it off at any police station the following day, before the curfew time, no?

Did you miss the thing about the Curfew? Based on the fact that he walked up to, and started touching approaching police officers in riot gear. Perhaps you think this is normal, well thought behavior. and no; I would not assume that the officer was mentally ill.

Baby Baby, where did our love go? Ooh don't you want me? Don't you want me no more? Ooh, baby

I don't know, but it begs the question: what was he doing there to begin with? Once again, I would make a huge wager that he has a psych history. Would you walk into police in riot gear and proceed to touch them? These are dangerous times. A NYC police officer was stabbed in the neck 2 nights ago. I am guessing that a police officer would feel guilty sitting in the station house for hours processing this old, apparent lunatic through the system while his fellow officers are in danger out there. The entire episode just sucks but imo, for someone to equate it in any way to Minnesota is wrong and probably agenda driven. I am saddened and sickened by what happened there.

This post will probably not be well received by those with a specific agenda. Oh well..... The police were lined up, imposing a local government mandated curfew (we all know that police do not mandate curfews, they enforce them). People in the area deserve praise for not turning out to riot. Now, here comes the old man. He looks harmless enough, but he seems to be accosting (or do you prefer the word "touching) two police officers after walking into moving lines of officers in riot gear. I would wager everything I own against 10 bucks that the old man has a psych history, but so be it. At this point, the man is guilty of disorderly conduct. He could/should have been cuffed and taken away. The cops decided to shove him away instead, and the old guy fell. Not arresting him turned out to be a big mistake, but I don't think that this incident is to be equated with the horrible, sickening incident in Minnesota. In Buffalo, the officer probably felt that he was giving the old man a break by not locking him up. Do I suspect that the cops were annoyed by being touched by this guy? OK, yes. Do I think that they wanted to split his head open? No, I do not. Now, a mistake that was POSSIBLY made (and I cannot tell because the video was short), might be whether or not there was an immediate call for medical assistance. Psychotic or not, the man was in need of and entitled to medical care at this point. I don't think that this incident should be agenda driven, but it almost certainly will be. It certainly was not race driven, even if the cops were black. This was a regrettable incident, but again; comparing this to the sickening horror show in Minnesota is just not fair, but surely it will happen anyway. Sad indeed.

Now and then just like before, I think of all the love I've thrown away, But now it doesn't matter anyway. Baby what a big surprise, Right before my very eyes oh, oh, Oh woah oh oh.

This makes a large degree of sense. I mean, why would someone who has been a Bills fan for 10, 20, or 30 years have the nerve to suspect that the Bills would ever make a dumb move? I mean really, all of their trades have been perfect deals that made this team a winner, except for maybe 1 or 2. Every draft has been great too!

Woman, when I saw you comin' Should've started running Evil woman Woman, I offered to you my soul You ran it over hot coals You evil woman

A pretty face may last a, year or two But pretty soon they'll see what, you can do The sound you make is muzak, to my ears You must have learned something in, all those years How do you sleep?

How can I just let you walk away Just let you leave without a trace? When I stand here taking every breath with you, ooh ooh You're the only one who really knew me at all How can you just walk away from me When all I can do is watch you leave? 'Cause we've shared the laughter and the pain And even shared the tears You're the only one who really knew me at all

And when at last I find you Your song will fill the air Sing it loud so I can hear you Make it easy to be near you All the things you do endear you to me You know I will I will

I just can't get over losing you And so if I seem, broken and blue Walk on by, walk on by Foolish pride Is all that I have left So let me hide The tears and the sadness you gave me When you said goodbye Walk on by (don't stop) Walk on by (don't stop)

Like a long, lonely stream I keep runnin' towards a dream Movin' on, movin' on Like a branch, on a tree I keep reachin' to be free Movin' on, movin' on There's a place, in the sun Where there's hope for everyone Where my poor restless heart's gotta run

I could easily be wrong, but I have a feeling that many "big name" programs will be hurt by this whole Corona thing, and that the playing field might be evened, if only a little bit. I think this primarily because of the quality of coaching. Coach Saban, given several months, fully knows how to prepare his players physically and mentally. His record in opening games is astoundingly good, and Alabama usually opens against a ranked non-conference team at a neutral site. I have heard numerous defensive players say that the defensive system at Alabama is more complicated than NFL systems, and now; they will have less time to learn the system. I am sure that the above applies to Clemson, OSU, LSU, and other great programs. Of course, they do have more talented players than lesser ranked schools. I get this too. Do you folks see any possibility in this hunch or should we expect business as usual?

I have been to 13 and hope to make it up this season.

It was the third of September That day I'll always remember, yes I will 'Cause that was the day that my daddy died I never got a chance to see him Never heard nothing but bad things about him Mama, I'm depending on you to tell me the truth Mama just hung her head and said "Son, Papa was a rolling stone Wherever he laid his hat was his home (And when he died) All he left us was a loan Papa was a rolling stone, my son Wherever he laid his hat was his home (And when he died) All he left us was a loan, " well, well

She say, "Money, honey", I'd rob a bank, I just load my gun and mosey down to the bank. Knockin' off my neighborhood savings and loan, To keep my sweet chiquita in eau de cologne. She wants money, what she wants, She wants money, what she wants, She wants money, what she wants, She wants money, what she wants, Money money, money money money. Money money, money money money

Seven-Thirty-Seven comin' out of the sky. Oh, won't you take me down to Memphis On a midnight ride? I wanna move. Playin' in a travelin' band, yeah! Well, I'm flyin' 'cross the land, Tryin' to get a hand, Playin' in a travelin' band.

And I find it kind of funny I find it kind of sad The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had I find it hard to tell you 'cause I find it hard to take When people run in circles it's a very, very Mad world Mad world Mad world Mad world

Last night I said these words to my girl I know you never even try girl Come on, come on, come on, come on, Please please me like I please you. You don't need me to show the way love Why do I always have to say love Come on, come on, come on, come on, Please please me like I please you.

Big wheels keep on turning Carry me home to see my kin Singing songs about the south-land I miss 'ole' 'bamy once again and I think it's a sin Well I heard Mister Young sing about her Well I heard ole Neil put her down Well, I hope Neil Young will remember A southern man don't need him around anyhow Sweet home Alabama Where the skies are so blue Sweet home Alabama Lord, I'm coming home to you
