Buncha spoiled, entitled athletes ...
- Thread starter Mountaineer Gooch
- Start date
They are professionals ... nothing to pull but their paychecks and we still watch them on the TNT, TBS, ESPN...
Their body their choice :joy:
I support them doing what they think is right but if anyone watched the latest video I’m open to debate what should have been done different as far as a gun vs a taser but you also can’t ignore police commands

they have a right to protest it was moved around 830 lol... what are your thoughts on it all
Gooch is on the left side of the political spectrum but an otherwise good dude. He was trying to get a flame started, but as you can see, none of us on the right really care.
The NBA is deciding to go on strike over 1. Jacob Blake who was armed with a knife, had already escaped after being tackled (the first suggestion by LeBron) and tazed (the second suggestion by LeBron) and 2. George Floyd who it was determined died from a Fentanyl overdose with body cam footage showing the pill in his mouth.
None of us really watch basketball so the strike means jack and ****. As for the 2 victims, the world is likely better off without them. Blake had a felony warrant out for sexual assault (real winner we’re talking about) and has numerous gun related charges. Floyd, we all know what piece of **** he was, robbing and beating a pregnant woman. Not saying either deserved to die, but society is probably safer with Floyd dead and Blake in a wheelchair the rest of his life. One thing is clear, they and they alone are responsible for their own situations. That’s the hard truth.
One positive in all of this, 2 ANTIFA shitbags met their end, I’m actually happy about that.

I don't watch Pro Basketball so I don't really give a crap and I'm not a cop so I certainly don't have all of the answers but something does seem very wrong in both of these situations. In both cases, police had the assailants on the ground so my question is, "Is there nothing that can be done at that point to keep them immobile?" Zip tying their legs to keep them from less mobile so you can cuff them? There has to be some better way than what was seen on both videos.
I am a firm supporter of our policemen and think they do an outstanding job given the resources and training that they receive and like I said, I'm not qualified to provide any real answers but something has to change in the way we apprehend those that resist arrest.
Not really.
Start a campaign called “Respect the man with a gun and follow his commands....unless you want to get a bullet in the ***”.
Seriously, these guys would be alive if not for their own actions. Their lack of respect for authority, their refusal to follow lawful commands, their assault on officers, their resisting arrest, not to mention the initial crime they committed to land them in the situation. To try and blame the cops in these instances are insane. It’s just a way to fan the flames for the election, after Nov, it’ll die down until the midterms. Then, illegals will be the cause du hour. In 24, it’ll be back to the black causes. All the while, nothing gets done of substance, inner cities keep falling under Dem control.
These are literally just ways of trying to keep an exodus on Election Day.
When did they have blake on the ground? This, "I can't breathe crap" is just that, crap. Maybe if they weren't so fat and on drugs, they could breathe.
In this second video, he is on the ground next to the van when they somehow allow him to get up and walk to the other side of the car.
Respectfully disagree. Both of these guys were criminals and ****** human beings and yes, the world is probably a better place without them but I firmly believe that the police should be willing to look at different ways to subdue criminals that aren't willing to obey lawful commands. I wish I had the answers.
Bringing awareness to unarmed black men getting killed at the hands of police officers is selfish? Saying enough is enough, something must be done is selfish? Who the hell knew?
Where did you get your information to arrive at the conclusion Jacob Blake is a criminal? Thanks.
Floyd ws unarmed but on fentanyl, deadly, and Blake was armed. It would be great to start a campaign that said, "Don't resist, don't die!"
Once he resisted arrest, he's a criminal. It's amazing how many people would be alive if they didn't resist arrest. Both white and black
Are you denying he had an arrest warrant for sexual assault out on him? Denying he’d previously been cited for possession of a firearm while intoxicated?
And I just asked you 2 very simple questions. Are you denying either of those facts.
Hershel Walker's son calls Jacob Blake a 'crazy violent criminal' and urges Wisconsin cops to release body cam video of his shooting to stop BLM protesters 'pulling another George Floyd' - as his father speaks at RNC
Christian, who describes himself as a ‘free-speech radicalist’, urged police to release body cam footage of the incident to prevent Black Lives Matter protesters from ‘pulling another George Floyd with us’.
‘He should’ve followed directions and we wouldn’t be in this situation,’ Christian continued.
- Christian Walker said the shooting of Jacob Blake in Kenosha was ‘another incident of a crazy violent criminal refusing to follow directions from police'
- Blake, 29, who was unarmed, has been left paralyzed from the shooting when he was shot in the back seven times by police during a domestic 911 call
- Christian said that Blake was a 'felon sexual assaulter, he was a domestic abuser and had given cops trouble in the past'
- He urged police to release body cam footage of the incident to prevent Black Lives Matter demonstrators from 'pulling another George Floyd'
- Christian spoke out on the shooting of Blake again Wednesday, following the arrest of 17-year-old Kyle Rittenhouse, who he said 'did nothing wrong'
- The shooting of Blake came on the eve of the Republican National Convention, in which Christian's father, Hershel Walker, endorsed Trump for re-election

‘He should’ve followed directions and we wouldn’t be in this situation,’ Christian continued.
The message was followed up hours later, in which Walker appeared to write of Blake: ‘If kindergartners can follow directions from teachers, then grown men can follow directions from police officers. I don’t feel bad, follow the law.’
Christian also called Black Lives Matter a ‘racist terrorist organization’.
BLM is mentally deranged and need to be called out for what they are: black supremacists,’ he wrote. ‘Someone could dismember you and they would defend them as long as they had black skin. Black lives matter is a racist terrorist organization.’

How did "following directions" work out for George Floyd, whitey?
How did "following directions" work out for Philando Casteel, whitey?
How did "following directions" work out for Tamir Rice, whitey?
"You people" have lost your mind.
Christian Walker is Hershell Walker’s son. He is black.
Geroge Floyd resisted arrest multiple times. Following directions? Are you high? Oh, and autopsy report showed he actually OD’d on fentanyl.
Blake had a knife in his hand when he turned around after being shot while reaching for it. A grainy blowup of the security video clearly shows it. How many times Blake was shot after fighting with the police and reaching under the seat is irrelevant unless the danger is over.
If someone has a knife in their hand within 15 ft. of you and are determined to stab you they will without a head shot. Even if someone is shot directly in the heart, they have about 3 minutes until the brain runs out of oxygen to continue functioning. If someone drops to the ground after being shot it's because they choose to in order to stop the shooting.
Police are not trained to shoot a couple of times, wait to see if that was enough and shoot some more if it's not. They are trained to shoot to stop an immediate threat against theirs or someone else's life or serious bodily harm, and shoot until the threat stops.
If someone has a deadly weapon in their hand and makes any threatening move with it I will put two shots in their torso and if that doesn't cause them to stop, the third shot is to the head. That turns the lights out immediately. All of this will happen in about 3 seconds. I have no desire to hurt or kill anyone, but I will to preserve my life or yours.
