You make a good point. Nonetheless, it's mostly the uncooperative people who get shot. I know that black people are taught to fear the police. They do go to jail more often than whites do. Of course the education factor is much lower for blacks and therefore this can lead to theft from lack of an income.

If the black people want to go to college for free then I'm down with that. It's not my job to lift them up but I'm happy to give them the education so that they can achieve success on their own. Feed a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you've fed him for a life time.

Black music is a horrible influence on young people. Raping and killing are common themes in their music. They need to stop using the N word if I do. Once again, I feel like they live by a double standard.

One time I was sitting at home with my daughter watching Tv when I heard the doorbell ring. I looked through the window and saw this sketchy looking meth head outside. When I cracked the door and asked him what he wanted and he asked if he could use the phone. I told him no and went to close the door and he jammed his foot between the door and the door sill. I pushed on it got it closed called the cops and told them what happened. I described him as a white male, 6’, shoulder length hair wearing shorts and a wife beater.
About 10 min later I saw them pass my street so I went out to flag them down. I had just had surgery to repair my rotator cuff and labrum so I am jumping up and down waiving with one arm and my other in a sling. When they saw me they gunned it and would have absolutely run me over if I hadn’t jumped out of the way. They got out with their guns drawn and ordered me to get on the ground, jerked my arm out of my sling, cuffed me and threw me in the back of their car. It took about 10 minutes to explain to them that I was the one that called. They said that I fit the description yada, yada, yada. I’m 5’6”, short hair, pajama bottoms, short sleeve shirt and had my arm in a sling.
Turns out the dude sold drugs to an undercover officer in the neighborhood next to mine and made a run when they tried to arrest them.
I wound up having to get my shoulder repaired again because of it.
It happens to both whites and blacks.

Will the decal show him holding a gun to a pregnant woman?

Just a reminder that they tried to fine Demario Davis for wearing a Man or God headband.

There will be an app for all this stuff. Let's viewers pick and choose what decals they want on players.

And they wouldn't allow the cowgirls to have decals honoring the Dallas officers that were killed a couple years ago.

Yeah, that's not politically correct but deifying a convict like George Floyd is?

They'd done better keeping the politics out it - when I want to tap out, used to look to sports...

But now some over-privileged *ssholes want to lecture me about advantage, thrust their politics into my football time...

How about a swastika or the communist hammer and sickle, would you be a'okay with that?

I was coming through a shady neighborhood on a short cut back from the convenience store after dark. Blue lights came on and I pulled to the side where they came up with guns drawn and threw me on the ground and cuffed me while they searched my car and found nothing but candy. They were all apologetic and they were black and white cops that did that to me.

Not every white cop is a bad guy. I've known plenty of rugby players that were policemen who loved their black team mates. My twin brother and I took a keg to the black fraternity in college to recruit new rugby players. We became close friends with 5 of them and had them to my family home a lot where we taught them how to shoot. They became good shots with pistols very quickly and played damn good rugby. I don't see color.

Every race has it's fair share of racists though . I've seen racists cops from both races. Just like I've seen extremes from both races. From the KKK to the small percentage of blacks that are looting and rioting rather than peaceful protests that is the majority.

Hell of a fallacy there.

We only see the bad things being posted and going viral. Consider that today 80% of departments have body cam requirements and the amount of ordinary people there are to capture everything on phones. Only the negative aspect of their job is broadcast and promoted, you can see the positive side if you look.

99.8% of cops just want to do their job, protect people and property and go home. However, the media and SJW will have you focus on the .2% for a reason. Don't be fooled. Law and order enforced by LEOs is the only thing holding this country back from being a 3rd world hellhole. We need more, not less police, and they need more not less funding to provide more, not less training.

The biggest issue with policing is they don't spend enough time training on deescalation, community policing and physical combat.
