He complied and wasn't shot. The cop states that multiple times. Had he turned and raised the gun towards the officers, he would be dead, and the website you're citing would not be talking about it because it would not go along with their propaganda. I'm curious, if the kid had on a ski mask (and likely a jacket and long pants this time a year), do you honestly think the cop knew the kid's race before he had him disarmed and handcuffed?

Weisbrod is shooting .667 through 10 games. Lamar wasn't looking for that type of weak sauce... ;)

this is all correct. IMO, I don't think Mariotta will EVER become a quality qb in the NFL. He might become a serviceable backup or one of these starters that plays 2-3 seasons on a terrible team and you never hear from them again, but I don't see him excelling. If a team is dead-set on drafting one or the other, Jameis has to be the guy. Personally, if my team needed a qb, I'd just prefer them give it a year and see what their options are.

yeah right. but still, glad they didn't call it. just like the pass interference in the cowboys game, some flags are better left unthrown ;)

The only reason I made reference in my response to race at all was because you brought it up. I can't speak for anyone else. Based on your comments, i honestly think you have me confused with someone else, because I don't recall ever being on the opposite side of an argument with you here before, in this forum or elsewhere.

Since I'm so incredibly dense, please explain what some cops stopping you and treating you rudely 30 years ago before letting you go on your way has to do with people getting killed today while resisting arrest. Because you're right, I don't comprehend your point.

you type a lengthy post trying to "shed some light on this topic through your experiences with the police", but don't state what "this topic" is. now the thread was going in the direction of some folks trying to once again act like police are going open season on blacks, while giving whites the benefit of the doubt when it came to using force, with tvc giving several numbers stating otherwise, and one guy providing a SINGLE case that didn't even prove his point. At this point, you jump in with a narrative from 35 years ago about how you were treated badly by a couple of cops, when you were a juvenile running around in the middle of the night. Now, by your own words, this story should've shed some light on the issue we were debating (which was about running from the cops and use of force by cops), but your story was set in 1980 or so Port Arthur, didn't involve running from the cops OR a use of force. So if I misinterpreted the point you were trying to make there, I apologize, but you sort of strayed from what we were talking about and left us to try and interpret your meaning. At the end you FINALLY address the issue at hand, saying a few things that made sense. But the overall feel of the post was that when blacks resist cops and are killed, you still feel it's the cops fault. Sorry if I'm reading that wrong, but I don't know how else to interpret a story attempting to prove how crappy cops are.

This is great and all, but in the article, the same guy who says that they missed the blatant hold against Suh (who the NFL ended up letting play after he should've been suspended) also says the Pass Interference against Hitchens was debatable. So you show that the refs miss another call, except he says they might not have missed the first one. I'd also argue there are blatant holds on the majority of plays that do not get called. It almost has to be super-blatant to draw a flag.

quote name="NDNation" post="1619788" timestamp="1420554214"] [Hidden Content] Morrelli explains overturned call. Why is everyone hating on America's Team :D [/quote] Lots of whining on ESPN. What Dez did was not a penalty by the rule of the law. And it's amazing how many people say things like "Learn the rulebook, what he did was CLEARLY a penalty", and then they mis-cite a rule. I saw on Deadspin where someone listed all rules in their entirety that people were quoting as to why Dez should've been flagged for coming onto the field, when in fact none of the rules applied to him. Lots of crybabies. Seriously. Of course, I would be saying the same thing had that sequence gone against Dallas.

I'm not really sure how the police were supposed to determine that you were in your own neighborhood, where everyone knew who you were, and not committing a crime, without stopping and talking to you. I don't question you on the treatment you received, I obviously wasn't there, so i'll take your word for it. of course, you're using something that happened to you thirty or more years ago as justification for people running from the police or not trusting them today. That doesn't make much sense to me. Neither does the belief that police officers should not stop and talk to a group of juveniles in a crime filled area if they're out roaming the streets in the middle of the night to make sure they aren't up to something they shouldn't be. I had an officer pull into my driveway WAAAAAAY out in the country when I was in high school and talk to me and a friend because we were wandering around the yard in the middle of the night. It didn't matter that I was white, or that I was on (MY) private property. The officer saw a couple of kids that MAY have been up to no good and took it upon himself to make sure we weren't doing something we shouldn't have been. As it was, I wasn't doing anything wrong, but I was also respectful. Had I run away, anything might have happened.

He may or may not be right about global warming. but if he pointed out that it was over 90 degrees in a majority of the US the first week of August, and said that it was proof that he's correct, you'd call him a quack. not sure how you can do the same thing in January and it's a legit point.

If a liberal rock'n'roll magazine says it, it must be true!

I'd respond, but I don't click the "low information voter" links you post anymore.

SKINS, all this talk of blown calls helping the cowboys... Instead of griping about the cowboys, why don't you talk to us about the blown calls that cost YOUR team those 12 games...

I think considering that one of the most-feared defensive players in the league should not have been on the field, but was allowed to play anyway, Detroit got a pretty good deal. There were calls missed both ways, but if you'd told Detroit before the game that Suh could play, but it would cost them one controversial blown PI call, they'd have taken it in a heartbeat.

I saw some folks breaking this down, and by the rulebook what he did was not a penalty.

That was poor.

It's ugly. They're getting pounded!

7-5 is doable. 8-4 is possible, but they'll have to pick up a win against an opponent they should lose to, plus win the 7 games they probably should win

:)

An arky st player was just ejected for threatening an official. Never seen that before.

I say if you want to cut them a break, give the speeders warnings, and pull over a few good drivers and give them the cash.

I would rather it fail, but I guess if I'm ever somewhere and a robber comes in and shoots the people who are carrying openly first, I'll have plenty of time to draw my concealed weapon and defend myself.

I open it with the auto lock. I used to back in the day before I had the remote key.

I thought his speech at the Espys this year was phenomenal. He was one of the most loved and influential voices in sports of our generation, and he will certainly be missed.
