AFTER 19 YEARS, ARP HEAD FOOTBALL COACH DALE IRWIN TO RETIRE

I don't know... no state championships as a head coach? Hmm.. They really should've called Art Briles. Now they'll never win it all.2 points -
The problem with a lot of discussions/arguments are when a person/group defines, creates or redefines (changes) a word or phrase. If you donāt like a response to a discussion or canāt figure out a valid or plausible argument, change something. So you get critical race theory, white privilege, minorities canāt be racist and so on. I will give an example. A person will call out any minority for being a racist for words or actions. Like a Black person (the NY subway shooter) might say āI hate all White peopleā, the commit some evil act. There is no valid response nor should there be ask to why that pressure is not a racist. If a White person said I hate all Black people and started shooting them, we would obviously call that an act driven by racism. It would not even be a debate nor should there be. With no plausible response as to why it is not racism for a Black person to start targeting White persons, in comes the change. I have many times heard/seen the claim that minorities canāt be racist becauseā¦ they were never on top or in charge!! Who came up with that definition? An online dictionary gives this: prejudice, discrimination or antagonism toward people of a specific racial or ethnic group. I guess they forgot to addā¦. but this definition only applies to White people. So when you canāt think of a good answer, change the rules. You can go to any forum, including this one, and sometimes see such redefining or inventing of terms. It is difficult sometimes on both sides of the fence for people to admit that everyone is basically the same. The main difference is the arguments created to prove that their side is more righteous and will do so by any means. That includes at times, changing language.2 points

It is pure political BS and that includes the police administration and their city administration. I thought that yesterday when they had no idea his motive but KNEW it wasnāt terrorism. I think it didnāt fit their wishes, likely due to a racial component.2 points -

Michael Brown redux. A gentle giant who was merely trying to explain to the officer in a calm manner but the officer refused to discuss the case and used force unnecessarily against an unarmed person who had yet to be convicted of what he was stopped for or even arrested at that point.1 point -

The suspect is stopped with the wrong license plate, meaning it might be a stolen vehicle. That makes it a possible felony and heightens the risk to the officer. It is not like a person will not fight over a misdemeanor because sometimes they do. It is just much more likely if a person is facing prison time to want to use all means to resist. Then the suspect adds to that by trying to get away. Stop resisting arrest or detention. It is not difficult. Make bail and go to trial two years later. For all we know, the guy might have borrowed a license plate only get a citation. The officer does not know at that point and cannot read the guyās mind. The the idiot videoing saying stop talking to him like that. I am assuming he is commenting to the officer but not sure. The suspect during the struggle to resist arrest gets his hands on the officerās Taser making him a deadly risk to the officer. It is likely a legal use of force: Butā¦.. In hindsight (covered later) shooting āmight have beenā premature. Only becauseā¦.. in calm reflection of not being in the fight, the biggest threat of the Taser is to get the wires/leads (darts which are fish hooks-I think they used to use Eagle Claw and Mustad)) attached to you. This is maybe a 95+% chance of incapacitating you. I am only going to guess that the Taser darts had been deployed during the struggle. If they had, the Taser is still a weapon but is probably not as likely to cause incapacitation. With the darts gone, is mostly a pain compliance tool at that pointā¦.. maybe. It is also entirely possible that at least one of the darts was making contact with the officer. If so, it still has incapacitation capabilities by completing the circuit by the Taser making contact with any part of the officerās body. That is a lot of what ifs. The United States Supreme Court said in Graham v. Connor that an officer in a use of force incident should not be judged in hindsight however. They said the officer is faced with a āsplit-second decisionā. It was a unanimous decision that it must be judged through the eyes of an officer at that time, āeven if it later may seem unnecessary in the peace of the judgeās chambersā. They ruled that ātotality of circumstancesā (used to determine probable cause) should not be used in this kind of case but should rely on the concept of āobjective reasonablenessā. That is determined by an opinion of, what would a reasonable officer determine faced with the same set of circumstances and who has to make that split second decision. The unanimous decision clearly showed that it is easy to sit in a judgeās chamber six months later and say something differently couldāve happened when sitting in the peace of the situation you are not faced with that life-threatening situation. It is easy to look back in a calm reflection and to say, maybe I couldāve done something differently. So without calm reflection of looking back at the video and not being involved, would a reasonable officer feel that he might be in danger of serious injury or death? Remember that the use of deadly force in self-defense, including by a civilian, does not require you to be in danger of only death but also a serious injury which could be a broken bone. At least going by Texas law I would say that it is likely justified.1 point -
Why canāt he simply be charged with a certain number of counts for murder and call it a day? Gotta put a label on everything. Mass murderer is label enough for me.1 point

Thanks for your response, and confirming my thoughts on the situation. IMO itās extremely difficult for the MSM to label a black person as a racist, although anyone with common sense knows theyāre just like other races and have good/bad/racist. In fact, to think differently is racist itself.1 point -

Once again Iām going to post about things based on my opinion. Iām not intelligent enough to explain this clearly, but yāall will hopefully get the idea. We face numerous problems in this country. One of our big problems is our loss of integrity, honesty and honor. Those are old world words that once had value, meaning. It would be impossible for me to name a single politician with those values. Itās possible there are some, but I donāt know them. So few of us today have them. I, myself fall short in some respects. I pray God will send us such men and women. We need them. Badly.1 point

Social media and the FBI should have blood all over their hands concerning this tragic event. The FBI had this black supremacist on their radar until 2019 then dropped it. I guess the FBI was too busy chasing a Russian Hoax! This black supremacist posted vile comments -- including killing whitey -- on Youtube. Where's the sensors??!! Let's look at his rap sheet: 1991-2007: 3 arrest in New Jersey. Charged with terroristic threats but reduced to harassment. 1992-1998: 9 arrest in New York. Possession of burglary tools. Criminal sex act. Criminal tampering. [Hidden Content]0 points
