Honest Abe

I know people don't like me on this board and I don't care, but I gotta side with neil on this. now is it a big deal??? well I have been taught since I was a child and I teach it and instill it in my own kids...PERCEPTION IS EVERYTHING!! especially when the media is present. I don't agree with jacquet tone and words towards an adult. i'm old school. right or wrong, as a CHILD you shut your mouth and say nothing at all or reply with no sir/maam yes sir/maam. perception comes into play again with the not shaking hands when a D-1 school trying to recruit your dumb behind and you not showing sportsmanship. these people at the college and pro level are coming down on attitude or ANYTHING hinting to trouble. instead of intimidating(obviously it didn't work) shake hands show you are a good kid. now had something happened, like a brawl on the field, who you think the UIL would have came down on?? oh and if you going to be all hard, how about look the brook players eye to eye instead of looking at the ground...I know these are kids, but that was a gash move...soulja u my boy, but that's foul and toby needs to be slapped with a big wet open hand!!!

crosby has to be resting there starters for district because the real Crosby team would be destroying the Nederland bulldogs.

As a previous poster stated, CL plays Pearland. And they have a similar type of crowd (atmosphere) as at the Rez. So I'm pretty sure that it's not anything CL haven't seen or experienced before... Now they have probably never experienced the annoying dancing Indian... ;) :D

YOU pretty much suggested that in the middle pages of this thread. Meth jackin' with your memory?

How about we nuke the entire area and be done with it? Plenty of civilian casualties and lots of collateral damage, but such is war. (sarcasm)

Isis needs to be obliterated. Anyone who would behead a child and mount it on a pole is an animal. All they understand is death so I say we oblige them.

I think Cam would likely prefer the name South Nederland 'Bumbledogs'.

soulja gonna flip his lid when he sees this lmao

You don't understand big girl speak. By unbiased, she means something that says whitey did it in cold blood.

Why is it harder for you to believe that a criminal who had just committed an assault and robbery might assault an officer than it is for you to believe that an officer with 6 years of spotless service would shoot an unarmed teen for no reason?

and sometimes black males attack police officers.
 
and sometimes white males attack police offices.
 
and sometimes hispanic males attack police officers
 
So, which one was it this time?

I thought we would look at the facts......
 
On average, local police forces kill 400 people every year in the Unites States, according to a seven-year FBI study.
 
About a fourth of those annual incidents — about 96 a year, or two every week — involve a white officer and a black victim, USA Today reported.
 
So, of all the officer shootings only 25% involve a white officer and a black victim...........
 
There was 11,078 gun involved homicides in 2013......96 involved a white officer and a black victim...that's  .86% of total homicides in the U.S......the 400 only make up 3.61% of all gun related homicides......
 
Statistics report, more than 90% of black murder victims are killed by other black people.
 
So, I have not heard any comments or post or tweets about the other 304 Non Black police shooting victims in 2013.
 
Why??

Exactly, how was changing his shoes going to change anything, hence my questioning why it would even be an issue. Oh the wonderful powers of reasoning that come with possessing two degrees.

Why do you keep using the word innocent? Do you know something that I don't?

I believe those charges were dropped.

Fact check me.....

I've also said we don't have enough facts to make a decision....just pointing out the FACTS

What difference does it makes if he wrongfully killed a college student or a guy with a criminal record both sides are guilty of trying to paint a picture of a guy they dont know....only thing that matters was if the officer was in the wrong or not. Lets stop picking sides until we get more information.

This is why we have investigations and trials! No one knows all the circumstances of what happened or the background of all the individuals involved. The protesters don't know, the governor doesn't know, the police chief doesn't know, the tweeters don't know, and the news channels don't know! Everyone immediately takes a side and then just like politics they won't listen to anything that doesn't agree with their side. The Ferguson police don't need to do the investigation. It should be handled by an outside source, but should be thorough and factual not based on the time limit of a group of protesters or used as a political statement by either side. It should go through the legal process and in the end a judge and jury should decide what happened and if it was justified for the officer to shoot or not!
I am sure there are thousands of things we do not know about the officer, the young man that was shot, or the events of that night.

Wasn't the store owner the victim?

I think it is a terrible thing anytime the police have to use deadly force. Funny how no one seems to try and put themselves in the policeman's place. People act as if the police are murderers just looking to shoot someone. No one on this board knows what went down in the altercation. I sure don't. Anyone????

Tvc, isn't a robbery suspect considered armed and dangerous? Just like a car thief is thrown down on when finally pulled over?

If this guy was innocent and got shot over nothing, then the cop should be charged. If he made some stupid gesture when considered armed, then the cop can't be blamed.

YOU pretty much suggested that in the middle pages of this thread. Meth jackin' with your memory?

I am very aware of the numbers which to me is more the reason for Memorial to play larger enrollment teams to better prepare them for district and playoffs.

Nah, WO-S has hardware. They are a good challenge. What does PA offer? A chance to play great athletes that can't win as a team? We already have teams like that in our district. FYI- begging is not very flattering.

Oh yes, and 'getting to the edge' means your team is better?? Who cares about 'getting to the edge'? It's not a track meet? It's about who wins the game. Usually the 'team' decided that, not a few highly talented players (ask Lebron).

Dude could sling the ball down the field

Sorry I had you mistaken... Can't wait for the Basketball debates this year..

Haha. Low blow my friend. What you don't know about me is that I played for the Dawgs many moons ago. I also played on the collegiate level! ;-)

I just don't follow HS football like I do HS basketball!

lol. Abe, you not even a football dude. Lol. Cmon man!
