He learned a valuable lesson. Today if you lean right you better shut up. If you support the police even more so. This wasn't a funny statement In this climate where black men/women are getting shot and killed for just being black The climate being described is a figment of imagination. |

I welcome a real conversation about race and crime. Since we have never had one it is about time. If you are old enough to remember the reaction from the black community when A wife beating two time killer was found not guilty that is a good place to start How many times have good ole boys killing blacks that have been found NOT GUILTY..WHAT TOO MANY TO COUNT? Yes, how many?
Please elaborate with a few examples, where you believe the verdict was wrong. Like in OJ Simpson's case. Or Kate Steinle's case.

Resist arrest and reach for the knife. I've seen many whites resisting arrest and not get shot You've "seen" those arrests or you are presuming them? In any event, it is likely to be true, just as the vast majority of instances of Black people resisting arrest did not result in a shooting. Just as the rate of unarmed white people killed by police is 4 times higher than the rate of Black people killed by police. As has been documented in a number of studies, including by a Black professor at Harvard and the well-known-to-be Trumpophilic Washington Post. Racism does not seem to be a significant factor in bad policing. So the ostensible premise of gigatons of destructive energy throughout the US over the last several months is perniciously false. FWIW, Blake was apparently armed with a knife. |

Or are you going by the MSM headlines only? They tried to subdue him all the way from the building, tried to use not (1) but (2) tasers and all that failed. While Blake physically resisted and ignored lawful commands until he reached into the SUV. The situation is 100% Blake's fault from the reason why he was there, why he shouldn't have been there, resisting arrest to the reach for a deadly weapon. |

Ive seen every angle..THEY DID NOT HAVE TO SHOOT HIM I don't disagree with that at all. However I don't believe the shooting was because he was Black. I believe a white person in the same situation would also have been shot. Police training is pretty universal that if the cop even thinks he is at risk, he/she is to empty their magazine into the torso. Which is what this guy did. If you are telling me that is irresponsible police policy and that the whole system is dangerous and unacceptable, I agree with you 100%. |

How many cops have been ambushed by Blacks since the beginning of the year?

This article was published last Friday
The Stars have lost customers over their support of Black Lives Matter and protests over racial inequality, president and CEO Brad Alberts said Friday afternoon.
“But we/I stand by our organization’s commitment and support our players 100% to express their views,” Alberts said.
When asked which customers the team has lost, Alberts said season-ticket holders, and that it was a mix of individual and company accounts. He did not disclose specific names. Alberts said no advertisers have pulled funding.

However, I wonder how many players believe in it or how many just thought about what jerks they would look like if they were the only ones not doing it. I also don't think many players thought that it was anything more than "being against racism" which I dont think anyone is opposed to without really understanding any of the more complex issues. |

This wasn't a funny statement In this climate where black men/women are getting shot and killed for just being black The only time i see this is in the big cities of this country by other black men. Do you disagree that 13% = ~50% or was Obama and Holder also racist? And just another weekend in Chicago eh? A violent weekend in Chicago has left 10 people dead and 45 wounded, including two police officers who were shot at a traffic stop, reports say. The most recent fatal attack happened Sunday afternoon when a man – who police believe was the intended target – was struck multiple times by gunfire while dining outdoors at the Lumes Pancake House restaurant in Morgan Park, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. “All Chicagoans should be able to go out to eat without fear,” Alderman Matt O’Shea, who represents the area, was quoted by the newspaper as saying. “Today’s incident was a horrific tragedy, and we must work together to hold those responsible accountable.” |

I agree it was player led...but there were several reports that at least a couple of teams voted to play and changed their minds after learning at least one team voted to not play. Once some players said that, there’s no going back or even voicing disagreement in todays cancel culture. Also agree that everyone is against actual racism of any kind. |

The commentary is a few seconds late and if it doesn’t ruin the broadcast it sure comes close.
