Probably not the best headline ever, in retrospect.

Why, because it doesn’t fit your narrative, bro?

“It’s very easy to group them all together since BLM and the rioters are in the same location but that’s not what BLM stands for or condones. It’s easy to handwave it all away because it’s easy for people and gives you a nice neat way to dismiss someone’s feelings or goals.”

Yes, but they also weren’t found with their car parked on the center stripe right in the middle of the road with car running, while walking around outside of it mumbling to themselves and being completely non responsive. That lady should never have been a cop, she panicked and shot. Sad all around.

I don’t even know why you’re trying to be reasonable with these kids and expecting civil dialogue in return on this subject. Have you ever read any of the comments around here? And they certainly are not going to believe that you are not white.

That’s what I was thinking too, judging by that tweet he’s a Cruz guy.

“What’s more, earlier this week, Trump issued a statement supporting Ted Cruz’s fight against Obama regarding who owns internet domain names. Which is a bizarre thing for Trump to do unless he knows that Cruz is about to endorse him.”

“Well, there is currently rioting in the streets of Charlotte and the only information is he-said-she-said with half of that being from the police...”

But why would you believe the version of the story from someone who WASN’T EVEN THERE? The family wasn’t there and independent eyewitnesses who were actually there corroborate the police version. I’d really like to know why you believe the family’s version that he only had a book, when they weren’t even there and…

You forgot to mention that at that same press conference Chief Putney did say that the family of Keith Lamont Scott requested to see the video and it was granted. So the family WILL get to see the video, why wasn’t that mentioned in the article again?

Except the pictures were taken by an independent eyewitness and several other independent eyewitnesses (neighbors) have corroborated police accounts that he got out of the car with a gun after being told repeatedly to drop it and get out of the car with his hands up.

That was his third match in five days and Pulisic was arguably their biggest threat going forward. He won 4 of the 5 corners taken and another 3 free kicks outside the box. He should have arguably been awarded a penalty kick also. He was taken off for two reasons, Dortmund was having a difficult time controlling the…

I said no such thing! Escorting the Dolphins is a SIDE JOB that the team pays for and they have every right in the world to say no. Maybe know what you’re talking about before you go putting words in other people’s mouths.

You think Broward County police officers are representatives of the federal government? You’re a dipshit. LOL

“In some situations, though, officers engaged in private functions can be deemed government actors, particularly if they’re using covernment resources, or holding themselves out as officers, or doing so with permission of the government.”

Actually, I don’t think there is a contract and the escort is provided solely at the discretion of law enforcement and whether they think it’s really needed and as of 2012 the Dolphins picked up the tab to the tune of $37 per hour per officer. Here’s an article about it...

It is not a service that’s provided by the government. It is a service that is paid for by the Dolphins and they are under no obligation to take the money and provide the service. Since when did we have to pay police extra to do their job? This isn’t a part of their job, they do it as a courtesy and get paid extra to…

Thanks for being so civil internet tough kid. Police escorts for sports teams are a COURTESY and paid for by the team. There no law that requires them. If they don’t like their views they sure as shit can not take the money and not provide the escort.

Some good reading and like I said before, my entire point is county police being obligated to provide a police escort to an NFL football team. I just can’t see how that’s the case.

And that’s my contention. This isn’t a part of their “official duties” and they can say no if they want to. An officer couldn’t say no to protecting a person being beaten by their spouse for any reason, they can say no to providing an escort to an NFL football for whatever reason they choose. How can this be wrong?
