[Hidden Content] I read through some of the actual docs a week or two ago and it was pretty convincing. I can't find them now. Walker thought that they were being robbed. The police claim that they announced, the occupants say that they didn't. It really doesn't matter because they had a no-knock warrant. I think the question is whether or not no-knock warrants are something that should be eliminated (I disagree), not about whether these officers did anything wrong. I feel for the victim in this case, because I could easily see myself in her situation if the police were trying to bust into my house unannounced. It's a horrible situation, but I don't see the criminality. And I don't care how much training a human has. When somebody starts shooting at you in the dark, you're probably going to fire indiscriminately. It's all so unfortunate. Somebody described such instances as "lawful but awful" and I think the description fits.

Have you read any of the recent information released recently that clearly (to me) indicated that Ms. Taylor was an ongoing active participant in the drug enterprise, as verified by recorded phone conversations as well as photos of Ms. Taylor with the subject of those warrants at a known drug distribution location as recently as two months before the shooting? This stuff all got dumped recently (and ignored by the media), and it make it obvious (in the words of the drug guy) that she was a key part of the operation, "holding his money?" To me it makes the warrant 100% justified. So you feel that the officer should be punished for returning fire, and criminals should be allowed to empty their weapons at police officers without fear of return fire? I'll try to find a link to that info... it was something like 40 pages.

Help me out here. I can’t help but notice Breonna Taylor’s name on the back of NFL players’ helmets. What crime(s) if any, did those police officers commit during the execution of the search warrant? I see her case as the most glaring example of misguided angst by BLM and its supporters (peaceful and violent).

No, that’s not what he said. He’s going to say that we need to look at the factors that force black people to commit those acts.

Here’s where you and I probably disagree. I want bad mf’ers to be cops.... because they’re protecting me and mine from those other REALLY bad dudes, and honestly, that cute 27 year old White female cop with the cute butt is gonna get destroyed when she comes face to face with a 3-time ex-con Aryan Brotherhood soldier who knows he’s going up for life. Her only chance is to shoot him. Those meathead cops that nobody likes actually save lives. When people throw out stats like “228 blacks killed by cops last year,” they are leaving out the fact that a lot of them had it coming.... like that BLM supporter that killed five cops in Dallas. His life is included in those stats as well.

I’ve wondered where Shaq is on all of this. I can remember that he was a reserve deputy in LA County or someplace years ago. I’d be curious to hear what he has to say.

I’ve also wondered what type of “protest” I would find more palatable. I know in the 60s a lot of people were offended by the “black power” fist by Black American athletes during the anthem.... that doesn’t bother me like the kneeling does. I raised my kids (as I was raised) to stand when the anthem is played. It was a big deal... just like bowing your head or at least being quiet when somebody of any faith is praying or standing up when shaking someone’s hand. In my mind, if the same players stood at attention for a reasonable amount of time after the anthem is finished, they’d probably be doing so with tons of support. There has to be plenty of ways to express one’s beliefs without causing the very people that you’re trying to reach to tune you at. I don’t think anybody has watched the kneeling and been like “you know, they’re right... I think I need to look into this police violence issue they’re talking about.” It’s been purely about kneeling, not about discussions about equality.

That is incorrect, at least as far as I’m concerned. I would not support any demonstration of protest during the anthem, regardless. The anthem is supposed to unify us.

I have no clue what you think should be defended. You’ve already proven that no matter what is said or done, it is wrong in your and the rest of the left’s eyes. If a total of two Americans died, it would be his fault. He was ahead of the left on stay at home (in your own country) orders, and he was a xenophobic fear monger according to everybody. Now he’s at fault for downplaying everything. If you ask me, dems are at fault for failing to act in January.

You still haven’t understood what I’m saying.... I’m not accusing you of stoking fear.... YOU said that Trump downplayed the virus and people died. Then you immediately said that all Trump knows how to do is stoke fear. You literally criticized him for downplaying the virus, took a breath, and then criticized him for exaggerating and stoking fear. So which was it? Or is just that you’re going to whine and complain no matter what he does?

You just did it yourself! 1. Trump downplayed it!!! People died!!!! 2. All Trump knows how to do is stoke fear!!!! oh, the irony.

They took a nasty lick from Laura. I think the curfew just got lifted over there like today.

Is this “rebuilding” or “reloading?” I just realized that Newton fans have been pretty absent this fall.... I’m starting to guess why that was.

WTH?

Plus all of the other ones around the globe. Orange man bad. I totally remember when every Dem was taking shots at him in January when he wanted to close our borders. He was xenophobic and overreacting, to quote the current democratic nominee for president.

There’s no need to explain away somebody’s baseless allegations. He could, like every democratic in the land, be saying how climate change is the biggest threat facing the world today. Except in March we shut the world down for three weeks and suddenly you could see fish swimming in the canals in Venice. Air quality improved practically overnight in every metro area with a pollution problem. Apparently the left has (as reasonable people already knew) been fearmongering on the client change issue. The bottom line is this. In WWII, Winston Churchill downplayed the threats to Great Britain while the Germans were forming on the other side of the channel. It’s what great leaders do. Weak leaders exaggerate possible threats ( police violence, climate change, inequality) and great leaders minimize threats. But you don’t appear to follow any great leaders.... just crybabies.

“This is no time for Donald Trump's record of hysteria and xenophobia - hysterical xenophobia - and fearmongering to lead the way instead of science."” Joe Biden (1/31/2020) “He knew how dangerous it was,” Mr. Biden said. “And while this deadly disease ripped through our nation, he failed to do his job on purpose. It was a life-and-death betrayal of the American people.” Joe Biden (9/10/2020) So basically you have Biden accusing Trump of being hysterical and overreacting in January, then accusing Trump of downplaying the dangers in hindsight. That’s just typical Democratic blame. Period. Find something else to whine about.

Don’t ever forget.... black lives matter.

What? I saw them live three times.

The new Microtron scoreboard? That stinks.

Your White Privilege is showing again, according to Stephen A. Smith.

Silsbee is notorious for slow starts every year.... I think I'm gonna go with the Dawgs in a slobber-knocker.

I hear what you're saying... that's a mighty big brush you're painting people with. I personally don't care for Trump as the President. I am definitely not one of those "he can do no wrong" kind of conservatives. However, in my opinion he was a better choice than the alternative, and unfortunately I still feel that way in 2020. But to pretend that he is unfit to serve, tarnished the office, etc... is just hyperbole. I guess you've forgotten the cigar/dildo with an intern in the Oval Office a few administrations back. In case you forgot, that fine, fine upstanding ex-president spoke at the Democratic convention a couple of weeks ago. The Democrats can't claim the moral high ground, by misguided friend.

If you are lean conservative, you are a nazi/fascist/racist.... didn't you get the memo?
