It’s claimed logic that I don’t understand. Let’s see, he is in a patrol vehicle with lights, he is wearing police gear, he has a badge and patches that say police but I can’t see his face so it might not be the police. Oh wait, I can clearly see his eyes and nose now, yep, that’s a cop because I can see his eyes and nose!! Because you can tell by a person’s profession by his face? That would be like me walking through the mall and pointing at someone and saying, that’s a firefighter, that’s a nurse, that’s a secretary……

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’…..

They seem to have figured out who to throw stuff at, maybe if the left wasn’t doxxing ICE agents, they wouldn’t have to cover their face. ICE is doing nothing wrong, simply doing their job.

I guess the big badge, handcuffs, gun and vest with huge ICE or HSE across it is not enough for someone to know who they are LOL. That's a clown take. If your ilk weren't out there doxxing and threatening them, they wouldn't have to wear a mask.

I may have to set up across the street and pay cash.

My thoughts are it is hard to argue with this list, both because it looks really good to me and because I am pretty certain no one has seen more of these teams play than you…

Wish I had seen this a week or so ago. Could’ve told y’all then. Joseph isn’t going anywhere and SLC’s had someone else in mind from the start, anyway. All’s well at the Reservation.

Now, if he’d only follow the speak softly part…

Joseph locked in PNG now, he just got married to PN resident lol

I might’ve gotten in a fist fight over that. But maybe not if I was a cop.

J.C. Higgins was a name that covered a wide range of sporting goods. I had a J.C. Higgins basketball and baseball glove. I believe J.C. Higgins was a name use by Sears to market their products. Stevens was bought by Savage but I believe they still produced guns under the Stevens name. My recollection may be hindered by brain fog, but there it is. It seems we all shopped at Sears. Maybe we crossed paths and didn’t realize it. Lol

To continue with those type sentiments….

Exhibit B now posted, lol.

Got nothing against guns or gun owners. All about personal preferences. I have gone 62 years without owning a gun. My life has been good.

Next to the last paragraph..... The bill goes to the Senate, where it is expected to die, although it may help Republicans lay groundwork to work on a potential bipartisan solution to tame health insurance premiums, while dealing with the rampant waste, fraud, and abuse that comes with enhanced subsidies. Another thing is the Senate has enough Republicans that are lock step with Trump and do not have enough votes to override any VETO Trump may do.....

yeah, I do as well. I accumulate and rarely sell. I did trade two a couple years back for a nicer one that my dad was trying to get rid of. It cracks me up because most of the guns brought in are complete junk.

I’ve got the first gun I ever owned. None will ever be for sale. This buyback sounds fishy to me, but you will have some loonies give theirs up.

The BC Senior boys have been waiting for this season for a long time. They have been playing together since 5-6 years old. Played Travel ball together. Won National championships together. Daspit set them up great with a tough pre-season even though the football boys showed up late due to a long playoff run, then a bunch came down sick in December. That HJ game was a wash because they pretty much played the BC JV team with several sick kids. The early PNG and Nederland games were when the football boys just got there. They didn’t even have footing yet. Even though the record that they have right now doesn’t look great, they have played some very tough teams and the losses were not by much. These aren’t excuses but it’s understandable who they were playing with at those times. When district started, their mindset changed, I know my son's did. He’s in a zone now and his goal as a leader is a District Championship. These games are what matter. Like @Setxhasbeen said, when those boys start firing on all cylinders, they’re a hard group to beat!

Only seen WB one time this year and it was for this game… but the eye test to me… I feel like they are better than last years squad. They are extremely talented. Best Basketball in the state of Texas is played in Beaumont.

there's articles from legitimate sources where Good's wife is quoted as blaming herself for making her go to the protests. Her mother is straight up lying.

Yea - I think she was fleeing versus attempting to run over the agent - BUT, how would he know?.....He was also the same agent back in June that was dragged by a protestors car and needed to he hospitalized......His alert level was probably way up there.....

I don't think for a minute that she was attempting to run over the ICE officer, but rather she panicked and tried to get away when she realized she was actually going to face some consequences for her dumb behavior. She was likely focused on the officer screaming at her through her window and trying to open her door. that doesn't change the fact that she accelerated directly at an ICE officer and either almost hit him or actually did hit him before he fired. this was clearly a justified shooting. It's wild to me that the mayor is getting away with making up a story where the series of events are completely contradicted by multiple videos of what actually happened.

West Brook on ball pressure from the guards is something to see. Now that they are healthy , they are picking up full court. Making it difficult for opposing guards to get into their offense . If they can keep this up they may bring another one back !!!

Pollok Central 49 Newton 40

Pineywoods 47 Woodville 37

Hj. 105. Lib. 41. Final.

Not surprising at all honestly…Vidor couldn’t handle the defense at all. BC has been playing nothing by 5A & 6A. They’ve been battle tested and we hope they keep this up! 71-49 BC final Starters pulled out at a 40 point lead.

And some thought this idiot, along with the idiot Kamala the Ugandan Warrior, was fit to run this country. Shows what that voting sector knows. Thank God they didn’t win. #MAGA

Of the 30 teams I have listed, there's only two teams I have yet to lay eyes on. Trinity and Beaumont Legacy. My team total so far this season is at 67.

Somali mess is fake news. I posted my thoughts on Maduro under the maduro thread.

It is one of his assist coaches daughter..... Wonder if dad in law got a promotion?

Trump success makes some folks very sad. 😢

Joe Rogan says? Look at your link. Breitbart.com/ENTERTAINMENT Get real with yourself.

My schedule for this week: Tuesday 2A #17 Chireno at 2A #19 San Augustine Friday 3A #10 Orangefield at 3A #18 East Chambers Saturday Incarnate Word at Lamar

Wong Kim Ark was about people lawfully in the country. They immigrated lawfully and had been granted permanent residency. This current case is not about legal immigration. Wong Kim Ark’s family did not commit a crime to enter the United States. In the current case it is about a person entering the United States while committing a crime. Precedents don’t really matter They only matter in trials and lower court rulings. For example locally in Jefferson County, if the police arrest a person and then take a sworn confession from him but the police did not advise the person of his constitutional rights under Miranda, it is an unlawfully obtained confession. Precedent tells the trial judge to disallow the statement and any evidence gathered from the unlawful statement. The Supreme Court however doesn’t have to go by precedent and can overturn its own decisions. An example is that Roe v Wade said that states could not stop abortions within certain limits but in Dobbs v Jackson WHO the precedent was overturned. Some people cried foul because Roe v. Wade had been precedent for 49 years. That can’t be!! But let’s take a trip down memory lane. In 1896 the Supreme Court in Plessy v. Ferguson said that segregation was lawful as long as accommodations were equal. That gave us the phrase separate but equal. Colored water fountains, lunch counters, etc., were constitutional Then in 1954, almost 60 years later, the Supreme Court in Brown v Board of Education said that segregation in schools was unconstitutional, effectively overturning Plessy v Ferguson. Awesome! The Supreme Court overturned a bad ruling in Plessy. Precedents should not be locked into stone. Oh, guaranteed abortions were overturned? Supreme Court precedents should be locked in stone! So apparently one side of the aisle thinks that precedents should stand!! Well, except the ones that we don’t like…..

It’s justified. Just wait for the screaming from Cuba, Putin and Xi. That will tell you all you need to know. (My info caveat) Maduro was actually guarded by Cuban military as he didn’t trust his own people for security. His arrangement was to supply Cuba with at least one tanker of oil per month. Cuba will now be the next domino to fall as they’re on the brink already. The Venezuelan oil was keeping them barely afloat. The Trump Administration needs to play this carefully, and they can assist the Cuban people in regaining their freedom as well. Continue with the Monroe Doctrine return. Get China and Russia out of our direct sphere and proximity. Don’t let the liberal mindset deter. This action was foretold for those experienced, and paying attention.

I’m pretty sure there is more of a motive than we will ever know. Whether it’s a justified motive is the question.

United (20-1) 63 Sterling 51 Final

With the win, Silsbee extends their district game win streak to 52 games. One more win will tie the all time record at Silsbee of 53 games set between 2015-20. Silsbee is now 103-4 in district play over the last decade.

Let’s hope for a snowball effect with this….

the state of the sport is a mess. there should be a cap on NIL money, and there should be a cap on transferring before you have to sit out a year (one).
