Same. Just as he’s free to kneel, he’s free to have this opinion. I believe he’s dead wrong and hope he (and we) won’t be the position to actually discover that, but, sure Kap, whatever.

Exactly. He might have...and he might have not. So why is anyone here making a definitive statement about what his intentions were? No one has any inkling about what his level of mental illness was. So declaring it suicide by cop is a wild guess, not a fact.

Define suicide, idiot. Nevermind I’ll do it for you.

Suicide is an intentional act with the desired result being your own death. You think a man with mental issues clearly thought out this plan and was well aware that it would end in his death.

Fuck you, you fucking idiot. The man is clearly described as having mental issues so you don’t know what his fucking mental state was. But then again you seem to have mental issues too, so I guess you would know.

Suicide by cop? You saying he WANTED to die?

If you can’t tell what the suspect has in his hands after sitting here and studying a still photograph it at leisure, then how do you expect an officer to in the 0.5 seconds he has to react to it to save his life?

Wow, that’s fucking commitment.

I assume Weld just rolled his eyes, threw his hands up and said, “Jesus, what the fuck am I doing?” and walked off the stage.

Nah. “Putin” would fly outta his mouth before the question was even finished.

Just saw this on CNN. Police are being praised for releasing this photo so quickly but I think it’s only because it seems to support their case. The guy does appear to be in a shooting pose but you can’t tell what, if anything, he has in his hands. Things happen in a split second so maybe they did thing he had…

Good points. And there was the threatened boycott at Missouri last year that ended with the president of the school resigning. So, yeah, an actual boycott could change things drastically.

Would a player walkout, or even the threat of a walkout, be too much to wish for?

I grew up in Chicago and left about six years ago. When they first started service, I started taking Porter Airlines out of Midway to Toronto for short weekend trips. It was about $220 RT, got there in about an hour or so and landed downtown (no long cab rides!). I’d find a cheap hotel - and there were quite a few…

I am fairly certain there are million out there blowing a gasket about them “shoving transgender down our throats.” I mean, you remember how they railed about a fucking interracial Cheerios commercial. They’re still out there, just people are deciding to ignore them and keep rolling.

Late response: As a very frequent visitor to Toronto who was at one time involved with someone and traveled there from Chicago monthly, I sort of agree with you. My experience is in no way on par with yours but I never really had any bad experiences there in that regard as a POC. In fact, it’s my top…

Wow,. she just called him a racist on television. Good job

Talking race. OK, you know, Hillary, he’s going to bring up “super predators”. Be ready...

Lester, fucking asking him to get back to the answering the question. He’s fucking letting him off the hook

He’s being an ass, as anticipated, but she should have told him, you’re not running against Bill, you’re running against me.
