You bringing up statistics has nothing to do with this. This is about police brutality, which is cops using deadly force when not needed. Had those vids not been shown to the world the last 5 years then no players would be kneeling. This isnt about cops killing a certain race and how many times thats done, its the condition of which some have died, can you show me any where cops have killed a white male or female when it wasnt needed, there must be some somewhere.

Again, you're walking down a path alone. I never said it would reach none, nor did I say the world was perfect.
There's a huge difference though between other professions and those that protect the peace and investigate, prosecute or adjudicate the law.
If there's a racist mechanic, there are (unless you live in a 1 mechanic town) options readily available, and you can voice your displeasure in a variety of ways (including taking your vehicle somewhere else)
The issue is not that there's a goal of zero racist cops (or zero racism), the issue is what to do. The players (the ones I've heard anyway) feel like there is systematic racism in law enforcement. I'm sure you can find black friends who say they've never had an issue with being unfairly targeted. Others can provide some who have. These players still protested (many of whom are not stars) after seeing Colin K get blacklisted when there 6+ teams he could be a solid backup on. There are real world $ consequences these guys are facing, and yet they still protest. That alone should cause a person to pause and at least listen.
I would expect someone who took an oath protecting the constitution, which includes all the amendments, to appreciate that the first amendment is included, even when it's done peacefully and in your own view, disrespects you or someone else.Comment -
Workplace starts when the whistle blows. The league has stated that players being on the field for the anthem is "voluntary" (it's in their policy, but not their rulebook). It was "encouraged" when our fiscally responsible government (Dept of Defense) decided to give tax money to billionaires to stage patriotic ceremonies, supposedly to help with recruitment. Paid patriotism. Funny nobody gives a shit about this colossal waste of money. And yes, I've actually held several jobs, even have one now. And if my employer tried to make me listen to the anthem or recite the pledge of allegiance every work day I'd tell him to suck my ass. But not to worry, he's not being paid so it won't happen.
Never said anything of the sort. Have you learned how to read minds? Or better yet, reading comprehension? Herein lies the real issue. Nobody listens. We're all guilty, some more than others. But I hear you, and you can take your condescension and shove it up your ass.Comment -
i think some cops are racist but i think the majority of bad cops are just looking to abuse ppl who they think no one will care about. if you are homeless or mentally ill or a criminal you will be even more of a target than a non criminal minority. no one will take the side of those ppl over a cop. there was a video of cops beating to death some homeless mentally ill guy for standing up after they made him sit on the ground for awhile for just waiting at a bus stop i think. they were found innocent. the real problem is not that a lot of cops are murdering ppl. the problem is that the courts and other cops all cover for them and let them get away with it. on a seperate issue, with asset forfeiture cops steal more from ppl without ever charging them with a crime than all of the burglars in the US combined.Comment -
curry says " counter-productive " ... good use of words there, and he doesn't like trump at the moment. He will still stand for his country though.Comment -
Curry doesn't like trump..ok go.like n Korea guyComment -
LOL the statistics have everything to do with it. Police brutality was promoted heavily in the 60s, early 90s and here again today it's not something that all of suddenly was pushed because a few videos came out of criminals running from the cops resisting arrest.
I dont have any videos that show clearly show police brutality against any raceLast edited by MJFtheGenius; 10-08-17, 07:16 PM.Comment -
You would be correct. I do not have a job. I have my own company and I talk shit every day, all day. A guy tells me he has to talk to his wife before signing a deal, I tell him I should be talking to his fukking wife and not him. Somebody tells me they need to pray about it, I tell them they should have prayed before they showed up.
You talk shit about your personal protest against guys protesting, I'm going to call you a hypocritical pussy that is easily triggered. Especially in a gambling forum of all places. Deal with it.Comment -
After a Hurricane "please keep your mouth shut about climate change" It is not the time
After a shooting "please keep your mouth shut about gun control" It is not the time
These assholes want to run peoples lives because these views don't support their neanderthal views. I have to hear about abortion my whole life but when it is something these hypocrites don't like we all have to sit quit.Comment -
LOL work place starts when both player/owner sign their contractor not when whistle blows just when I thought Ive heard it all. Yeah it's your right to tell your employer to suck your ass, and legally it's their right to fire you because of that based on if you reside in an at will employment state which most are. Congrats on having a job, but with that attitude you wont make it far.Comment
