  1. It looks like the Pegulas are giving Krueger full power to run the Sabres like Bill Belichick has with NE*. This is worth a try , I like and trust Ralph. In today's sport page BN "The expectation is new Sabres GM Kevyn Adams is going to defer to his experienced head coach on a host of personnel decisions"
  2. How did the right , Fox News and Limbaugh treat Obama for 8 years ?
  3. Atlanta mayor calls Trump's Tulsa rally 'an embarrassment' "That rally was an embarrassment. It was absolutely what the nation does not need right now. He did not speak about healing. He did not recognize any of the racial tensions that are happening across our country," Bottoms told CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union." "Instead, he does what he always does. He continues to try and divide us and really inflames the worst in people. And so I just hope that this is a good sign that the country is moving on from him," she continued. "Like so many people across this country, my first response was that, 'I hope that this is a preview for November,'" Bottoms said. "That finally people are recognizing that this man is a danger to our country, a danger to our democracy. And he should not be the President of the United States of America." https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/21/politics/keisha-lance-bottoms-trump-tulsa-rally-cnntv/index.html
  4. You mean all the protesters in the streets ?
  5. We won't know till the end of August what will happen to the NFL season.
  6. You are a good Officer you have my complete respect , please stay safe. This civil unrest is not the normal. I'm just a old civilian with no law training . So experts like you have to inform us . We have to sit on juries so be patient and explain to us what you are going thru. We want to do what is best for law enforcement but fair for those less fortunate in our society .
  7. Just watched the interview with Officer Brosnan and his attorney. Brosnan was tasered by Brooks and the second taser shot fired at Rolfe who then killed Brooks. Attorney also said Brosnan suffered a concussion in that fight to cuff suspect. He was out of it at that point.
  8. Do you prefer riots , looting , police injured , loss of lives , less funding for police instead of restraint ?
  9. Roberts was born in Buffalo, NY and his father was a electrical engineer at Bethlehem Steel. I think he is a fair swing vote In 1965, when Roberts was ten years old, his family moved to Long Beach, Indiana, so his father could take a job as the plant manager for a new Bethlehem Steel plant in nearby Burns Harbor https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Roberts
  10. billsfan1959 thanks for your answer , if Officer Brosnan had his gun taken he would have yelled that out or radio. The severe civil unrest in the country police need to take extreme caution not to make matters worse but protect themselves at all cost. I don't want to see rioting , looting , police injured and reduced funding. I do not want to see charges or loss of job against Officer Brosnan . He made a mistake stepping on Brooks during a high stress event. Garrett Rolfe on the other hand needs a fair trial and I agree too many charges against him.
  11. Ah they know where he lives , he could be arrested later without having to kill him.
  12. They reported Brooks already fired the Taser twice so was empty. Just let him go they have his ID and impound his car , he'll turn himself in when he calms down. Won't happen but reminded of this job action On August 5, following the PATCO workers' refusal to return to work, Reagan fired the 11,345 striking air traffic controllers who had ignored the order, and banned them from federal service for life. ... The civil service ban on the remaining strike participants was lifted by President Bill Clinton on August 12, 1993.
  13. This many high profile deaths of black people by police puts the lives of police in danger for retaliation , riots , looting and funding cuts. jmo
  14. I respect your opinion because of your experience. How would you have handled the Brooks case in Atlanta as police not the DA . One story I seen on the news he was on parole and was terrified to go back to prison and panicked.
  15. Choose a different line of work . Don't shoot a unarmed man in the back and you won't get charged.
  16. The mayor said if needed the County Sheriff Deputies and State Police would be brought in if needed. I would think National Guard could ride with them as a backup. If Atlanta police want to walk away from a good paying job that you can retire young that's their option.
  17. Reporters have the book and say most is his first hand knowledge , be patient.
  18. Trump signs Uyghur human rights bill on same day Bolton alleges he told Xi to proceed with detention camps "With only interpreters present, Xi had explained to Trump why he was basically building concentration camps in Xinjiang. According to our interpreter, Trump said that Xi should go ahead with building the camps, which Trump thought was exactly the right thing to do," Bolton writes. "The National Security Council's top Asia staffer, Matthew Pottinger, told me that Trump said something very similar during his November 2017 trip to China." The US State Department estimates that more than one million Uyghurs, ethnic Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, and members of other Muslim minority groups have been detained by the Chinese government in internment camps, where they are reportedly "subjected to torture, cruel and inhumane treatment such as physical and sexual abuse, forced labor and death." https://www.cnn.com/2020/06/17/politics/trump-uyghur-human-rights-bolton-china/index.html
  19. Colin Kaepernick on Chargers' Workout List, Fits LA QB Style, Anthony Lynn Says https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2896563-colin-kaepernick-on-chargers-workout-list-fits-la-qb-style-anthony-lynn-says?utm_source=cnn.com&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=editorial
  20. I like Krueger a lot but would ask him why did he take Skinner off the Eichel line where he was awesome.
  21. Share of Covid 19 Deaths in Nursing Homes & Assisted Care Facilities map of U.S. https://freopp.org/the-covid-19-nursing-home-crisis-by-the-numbers-3a47433c3f70 Other states were a lot worse then NY, that is no excuse for what happened here
  22. I hate to see controversial statues part of history destroyed , put them in a museum with a explanation. Same with the names of military bases, rename for Congressional Medal of Honor members , buildings on bases also. Audie Murphy and Alvin York are my heroes
  23. What the heck happened , I thought Botts was just given a vote of confidence.
  24. Never ever resist arrest , even if innocent . Mental illness and drugs on the other hand likely to resist.
