I wanna see how well he recruits after this 1st season in comparison to Sean Miller. Also: (random) wth is going on at LSU? I keep getting told that HC is on the hottest of seats right now. How long has he been there?

I am admittedly biased because I am fairly tight with one of his assistants who was also with him at Samford. But this appears like it could be a tremendous hire by Alberts. Bucky wasn’t a “sexy” type hire that many Power 5s are tempted to make. He had a really good 5 year run at Samford but that was his first collegiate job after being a very successful HS coach. That’s not the “safest” of hires for an AD in the SEC.

47 days is not enough training for any LEO. The interaction with the community reflects how they have had limited training. The use of the OC/CS spray tells me they haven’t been properly trained in the use of less than lethal. You are trained to never disperse at the distance these officers are deploying aerosol into the eyes of citizens. The way these officers stack the door upon entrance of an home and the way they position their vehicles when they stop vehicles is not in line with adequate training. Lastly before weapons are fired you always check your cross fire. After action review will show a lot of mistakes were made. Training or lack there of is getting people killed. “In a Jan. 12-17 national poll by the New York Times ([Hidden Content]), 61% of respondents said they believe ICE tactics have gone too far, including 71% of independents and 19% of Republicans.” Excerpt From “Some Republicans break from Trump on immigration surge after latest shooting” The Minnesota Star Tribune [Hidden Content] “GOP Rep. Michael McCaul of Texas, the former chair of the House Homeland Security Committee, said he was “troubled” by the shooting. “A thorough investigation is necessary — both to get to the bottom of these incidents and to maintain Americans’ confidence in our justice system,” he said.”

Are these the peaceful protesters you are talking about? [Hidden Content]

I’ve always got an extra mag or two floating around somewhere 😀

Yeah, I’m having flashbacks listening to these posts

I think you don’t know what executing is. But as to why he was shot, I know that one officer yelled “gun!”, and within a second or two of that another officer disarmed him, during which the gun went off. I believe the officer who fired the shots either saw the pistol taken and in the struggle mistakenly thought that the victim had pulled it from the holster, or didn’t see the gun but heard “gun” and then almost immediately heard the shot and thought the victim was pulling the trigger. I don’t think the victim “deserved” to be shot, and I don’t think it should’ve happened under these circumstances, but I do think there’s going to be a pretty strong argument for ruling the shooting as justified. It’s not really any different than a lot of the cases we see where some kid who’s afraid of the cops runs when he’s pulled over for speeding or fights the cops because they’re busting him on a misdemeanor marijuana charge. The situation escalates needlessly and all of a sudden something that shouldn’t have been a big deal at all puts a cop in a situation where they have to make a split-second decision based on the information they have and their reasonable belief that they’re in danger. Oftentimes when we can go back and look at it from a different angle (and in slow motion), the cop could’ve done something different. But they wouldn’t have had to make a split-second decision if the person they were dealing with didn’t put them in the situation to begin with. Sometimes cops get it wrong, and sometimes it’s still justified. I think that may end up being the case here.

Leftist agitators…..the same people for which warnings are on a pack of fish hooks not to put them in you mouth.

Their miserable existence is always somebody else’s fault.

Thoughts?!

The life of a liberal……everything is always someone else’s fault. They never own up to anything. Never!

Michael Shellenberger on X: A Federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent in Minnesota shot a second person dead yesterday. Most of the debate since then has focused, understandably, on whether the ICE agent acted in what he perceived to be self-defense. Whatever the case, it’s clear that, by encouraging people to interfere in law enforcement operations, the Left is getting people killed. Videos show both victims, Renee Good and Alex Pretti, impeding law enforcement operations, which progressive nonprofits, Democrats, and liberal influencers have been encouraging for months. @UT alum @DCT

This says it all.

100%

People expect cops to be perfect, while the criminals can act a fool, then play victim when it doesn’t go their way. You got some sick people who side against law and order, until they become a victim.

[Hidden Content] From the article: A coordinated web of encrypted chats, street alerts and tracking of ICE "Abductors" in a sophisticated database reviewed by Fox News Digital shows that agitators were already mobilized at the scene where 37-year-old Alex Pretti was killed minutes before any shots were fired. ICE and Border Patrol agents were there to arrest an illegal immigrant criminal, and Pretti and others were there, outside a donut shop, to meet them as part of a strategic pattern of organized interference with law enforcement operations. Over the following hours, a national network of socialist, communist and Marxist-Leninist cells in the United States leveraged the tragic fatality into a nationwide protest operation. While grief and outrage over Pretti's death is genuine, the network's real-time rapid response, using short sensational video clips and emojis as weapons of propaganda, offers a window into the disciplined logistics, messaging and coordination of far-left warriors fomenting insurgency-like confrontation with authorities.

Deport all illegals. Report anyone suspected of being an illegal in your neighborhood or job to 1-866-DHS-2-ICE (1-866-347-2423), the official 24/7 U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Tip Line - it is now active.

lol, they are far left agitators, the proof is simply watching them. Maybe stay out of the way of law enforcement trying to arrest bad guys, especially if you’re carrying with extra loaded magazines. And it’s Fox News, the unquestionable gospel.

That is kind of what happened in the Amadou Diallo case. Detective, were going to speak to a person (Amadou Diallo) on the street who fit the description of a sexual assault suspect. They asked him for identification and he ran, running up a stairway and reached into his pocket and pulled out a black pistol while he was running. The closest officer yelled “Gun!” and there was a shot and the officer went down. The other officers returned fire killing Diallo. Except the black pistol was his wallet. The closest officer who yelled gun tripped and accidentally fired his gun. The officers behind him heard the officer yell gun, heard the gunshot and saw the officer go down. It all happened in a couple of seconds. They all were indicted for a second-degree murder and a jury found all of them not guilty, finding it was a reasonable belief under the circumstances.

That is totally unsubstantiated bull 💩. He has zero proof. Equating protestors with far left agitators is the beginning of the end of protest.

Video is out that shows the officer that retrieved the gun from the holster discharged the weapon firing it possibly accidentally. That shot may have caused officers to respond with deadly force.

ICE is State Sanctioned (authorized by the government). That man was murdered just as surely George Floyd was, if you bothered to watch the video footage. You insult your own intelligence by not believing your own eyes.

I mean I’m good with keeping both, Cardinalbacker was at least entertaining, but I understand you can’t bash the moderators with no consequences.

Good to know you see it that way.
