I did a move like that in high school playing dodge ball. And scored 4 touchdowns in one game.

I admire you for fighting the good fight but the two you are mainly engaging in this thread are hopeless, especially Letma here. It's best to just let them be lost in the greys forever. Again, I appreciate the good fight...just fyi.

You didn't see it, you saw a video. You have no real idea if he assaulted anyone or not. You can't base an argument on assumptions.

And then he lied about the actions of his superior, saying the guy yelled at him and threatened him. Turned out had a recording proving he was lying. That's when he was finally fired. Then became police chief of a neighboring town.

Don't shut the fuck up. Police unions completely pervert and destroy the idea of unionism and it disgusts me almost as much as all the other bullshit they pull.

Not a surprise given that if a citizen is so much spotted as filming a cop hassling another citizen, the individual with the camera faces intimidation, threats, and even arrest for exercising her or his First Amendment rights. Maybe this country's entire population of Chief Piggums needs an intensive refresher course…

People are only criminals after they get their day in court and it's decided by a jury of their peers. Unfortunately, we'll never have that decision one way or another. So for the rest of history, he isn't "this criminal", he's just "a suspect who was killed by police".

Many would argue that most cops haven't even mastered those first five freedoms as it is.

Two things: nothing like our police force complaing about its citizens exercising their first amendment rights. Second how bad can the pr in St. Louis be that they put out this statement? This has continuously been the worst PR I keep seeing from the government and its entities on how it's handled. This definitely…

The politics of the issue aside, Kenny Britt should be very familiar with that pose. From Wikipedia:

Following police protocol, the SLPOA then exercised their first amendment rights by airing their grievances in a designated protest zone at an agreed-upon time, followed by a vigorous pepper-spraying and beating by other law enforcement officials.

Police unions are the worst, THE worst, and I say that as a general supporter of unions.

The St. Louis cops then shot all the black Rams players dead.

you know what I find offensive? 18 year olds getting shot and prosecutors intentionally throwing the case

Thinking you're doing something tangible or noble by sitting shiva and hand-wringing on a dick joke website is vain and clueless.

If I was heartless, I would have said Indiana University is still hoping to offer him a scholarship if he transfers.

I'm pulling for the Falcons or Saints to make the playoffs with a 5-11 record.

They knew he was an OSU player right away, because if he'd been from any other Big Ten program the dumpster would have been on fire.

I can't imagine the pain and sadness that his friends and family are experiencing right now.
