  1. Past hour
  2. Not kidding. Just blatant. Awful. I’ve seen “bad calls”. But just blatant disregard. Hats off to the HJ staff and players for keeping their cool in this one.
  3. In Plumhoff v. Rickard, the Supreme Court issued a ruling on a police vehicle chase that ended up in a parking lot with the suspect vehicle stopped briefly and surrounded by police cars or officers. The driver backed up in a U-turn and took off again, almost striking officers. The vehicle was then past all officers so none were in direct danger. Officers opened fire into the back of the fleeing vehicle, killing the driver and passenger. The ruling was unanimous that the use of force was lawful. Even though no officers were in direct line of the vehicle at that time, to continue the chase would endanger the public and officers. In Graham v. Connor the police mistakenly thought that Graham might have been involved in an armed robbery. When they stopped him, he was acting irrationally and jumping around outside of the car. The officers used force on Graham and I believe broke his foot. It turns out that Graham was having a diabetic crisis and was completely innocent. So the officers mistakenly stopped the vehicle that he was riding in and then mistook his serious medical crisis as resistance. Graham sued all the way to the Supreme Court. A unanimous Supreme Court ruling said that the officers’ use the force was reasonable under the circumstances as they appeared to be to the officers actually at the scene. In their writing, the Supreme Court said that the officers had to make split second decisions and it was not something that could be decided calmly months later in a judge’s chambers. It’s not difficult. If you use force against officers or if you are told to stop and you don’t, you might be opening yourself up to having lawful force or deadly force used against you. The Supreme Court does not appear to be sympathetic to people who resist because they believe in a cause. The First Amendment guarantees the right of the people peaceably to assemble. Blocking or obstructing the police or using force against them is not a peaceable assembly. Just sayin’…..
  4. Today
  5. Multiple fatal car accidents, a fatal plane crash, a man struck and killed by a train, a man electrocuted, a man committing suicide in a church parking lot after a police chase, and a kidnapping/shooting all in the course of 5 days. What the hell is going on in setx?
  6. I might’ve gotten in a fist fight over that. But maybe not if I was a cop.
  7. Final Evadale 41 Latexo 57 Crockett 47 Madisonville 67

  9. Final 2 OT 84-81 Anahuac
  10. You’re kidding …. Right?
  11. Texas beat “The best team ever”….to hear them tell it. Lmao
  12. Thanks for the solid input. FYI this extremely small 4a team finished 3rd in district last year and lost in the playoffs to the state runner ups. If you have any actual valid input, I’m willing to talk basketball all day with you.
  13. Heard many times 2019 LSU was the best college football team ever..could this Indiana team play with them? I think they could.
  14. BC and Silsbee going to be fun to watch
  15. Agreed. Thought Lumberton did a good job keeping this respectable. The kids never quit
  16. You’re right. But Vidor has been a much better team than Lumberton this year. Which is why I’m surprised this one stayed closer than the Vidor game is all
