He was initially asked for his ID. That changed to " keep your hands where I can see them" when he informed the officer ( correctly) that he had a weapon. He then reached anyway. I felt the Cop overreacted . He fired many more times than necessary and seems terrified. . The guy was McFly. Not cut out to be a cop. But his reaction wasn't criminal. It wasn't pre mediated or anything like that. Whatever he said in that staement was questionable on a good day. But even without reading that statement and viewing the dashcam video with audio, I would not conclude that his actions were criminal. Not everyone is built for that kind of Police work. A jury followed the law and agreed that the standard was met. As for Chad Kelly wasn't that a bouncer? I don't think it was a cop. I also don't know what he did when he was ordered to keep his hand where they can be seen. I'm assuming he complied? Saying I'm going to get a gun is not the same as saying I have one in my pocket for obvious reasons.
He ended the mans life, it's criminal.
He was "jumpy" because he assumes anyone not white is threat. You can thank local and Fox news for that. This happens over and over again. Like the black kid in Walmart walking around with a pellet gun IN A BOX, he got off the shelf their because he planned to buy it. Some redneck calls 911 and says he's waving it around. Cops charge in like a bunch of thugs and shoot him without warning.
Never mind that Ohio is an open carry state. Which has proven to mean open carry for whites only. My neigbor is a cop and a really good person, but I have said it to him, until the good cops stop closing ranks around the bad ones, they are all culpable.
Wow...I'm so befuddled by thinking like this, I'm not even sure if unity is even possible anymore.
God bless everything about this post.
Well done my friend
"Veteran" is not some monolithic term - we're not all the same. We serve for different reasons. I don't like when non-veterans try to speak for us as if we're some unified group.
I can tell you that when I went to war, I wasn't thinking about flag and country. I was thinking a lot about duty - especially my duty to my soldiers. I loved my men and there was no way I was going to let them down. That was my main motivation.
Btw, thanks to Lurker for posting the oath - it's all about the Constitution which incidentally protects freedom of speech.
Same, I said this on a different forum. As a former Marine in my experience nobody fights for the flag or freedom. We take an oath and we mean it, but at the end of the day you fight for the man next to you. For me it always boiled down to that.
You lead, you follow you go into harms way, you stay on watch in the rain with zero sleep because the man next to you will do the same

The !@#$ it isn't. A white guy who says racism isn't real. WeirdPssssst... it's not really a major social issue. They'd like you to believe it is.
No, no he isn't.Obama is Muslim is he not?
But for some reason republicans refuse to take his word on that? I've never been able to put my finger on what it was about him that was different than other presidents. Maybe it was the tan suit.
It's a mystery

LOUD NOISES !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I served in combat. I knew guys who died serving their country. That's why I stand and can empathize with your opinion.
But I don't think these players are losers because they kneel during the anthem. They're not spitting on the flag. They're not burning it. They're merely kneeling.
The Declaration of Independence says that "all men are created equal" and each has a right to "Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness." These players, in their own way, are trying to help transform these noble ideas into lived realities for all of us. What's more American than that?
Amen

Yeah Kaepernick is a real hero takes a lot of guts to do what he did he had it so bad his real parents did not want him he was adopted by a white family who gave him the world yeah and he's oppressed give me a break I wish I was that oppressed
This is the part I feel like people intentionally miss. He't not protesting for himself. He protesting for the people without a voice.

I have had the privilege of serving alongside these brave men and women for over 32 years personally witnessed the caskets being unloaded off the aircraft. I challenge each of you to make a trip to Walter Reed Medical Center and witness first-hand what these Brave individuals have done for you I guarantee you will think differently when these losers wearing costumes not uniforms disrespect our heros in uniform.
I hear you, I was a Marine and get that part. But one has nothing to do with the other.
My problem is the selective outrage. Telling people not to "disrespect the flag" ends up being just another vehicle to shout people of color down. They have a legitimate grip, one I support fully. They are treated differently than those of us that are white.
I say selective because in order to shut down decent "we" say it's disrespectful to the country and our troops. Welp, I can go to Wal Mart and buy a pair of star spangled boxers and a 30 pack of flag covered Budweiser. I mean I know nothing says I love my country more than sweat stains all over the stars and stripes from peoples nether regions. Or the drunk dude pissing in the sink in the bathroom during the anthem.
I fully support what they are doing because the cause in my opinion is just. That's why I chose to serve. To defend those that need it. That is not why everyone does. Just like white people or brown people Veterans are not a monolithic group.
My point is simply that we should remove the hyperbole Simply have the the discussion at hand.
I think it takes a lot of guts to do what Kapernick did. He had a lot to loose and he lost it. He can be wrong and everyone has a right to agree or not. But this issue is not going to go away.

OK.. "Common Knowledge" gotcha..
nope.. obviously i didnt pay attention.
.
Don't be dense. He and his wife have openly acknowledged it. He said he cheated shortly after his wedding night. Jim Kelly and 90's Bills partying is legendary.

There is nothing about this post I don't 100% agree with. He found religion after he did everything he wanted. My other problem is where's were his deap religious beliefs when Trump claimed Obama wasn't a Christian? Values aren't supposed to be fungible.Throwing aside my personal views, who is Jim Kelly to speak of morality and issues of character? He lived in a glass house.
He is becoming our version of post-retirement Mike Ditka. There was no reason for him to wade into this argument other than to serve his own ego. Welcome back to the front page of ESPN, Jim. Hope it was worth it.

.What do you expect from a liberal from Seattle? Inequality exists, NFL players make more than McDonald's employees. Shut up and play football or we will turn off the damn channel. We want gridiron warriors not social justice warriors.
Who's we?
I like what he has to say. I'm not going anywhere.
Also, he isn't claiming he is discriminated against. His salary is irrelevant. He is sticking up for "McDonald " employees or anyone else that is discriminated against.
Like others here have said. If simply pointing out support for equality puts you i a rage it's probably not him.
-
I actually LdOL at this. And it would be funny if they did cut him....probably would set a good precedent for others to keep their traps shut and just concentrate on being an outstanding player.
That would be super great. Then only message board clowns and twitter trolls get to have opinions on stuff.

Good for him. I think he is right and I support him 100%.

Same, Tim Graham made me a believer. I paid for the BN for 6-7 months. The day Bucky called me and my family losers and then refused to apologize for making it personal I quit. I actually WANT to pay for the BN. But until Gleason apologizes in print I'm done. I will hold that grudge forever.John, for me this has nothing to do with the $2.99/month, as i don't believe that amount in today's day and age is even a blip to 99% of people on this board. It is pure content driven, and by content, i mean Sully, Gleason, Graham, and Harrington.
I was always a paid digital subscriber of the BN , even though avoiding the paywall was and still is easy peazy . I believe in paying for things I consume if there is a charge, as I do with my WAPO and WSJ subscriptions, I pay for all my music through legitimate sites etc.
But the day Gleason said I was a loser was the last straw, and I canceled my subscription to the BN that day, and let them know the reason why. I know there is other good content on the Blitz and the BN in general now, but out of principle, I will not spend a cent on that paper until some of that crowd is weeded out. Might be biting my nose, I understand that, but what is a better suggestion from you on how to show my displeasure with the "talent" than withholding my money, as little as that may be. My sense and I could be dead wrong and would love to get your insight, is these guys are protected by the guild and have been able to push an agenda since the very first meeting with Terry way back in the day.
Maybe the new Editor can make some changes.
Having said that, I do not use illegal ways to go around the paywall, as easy as that is. I do read articles non-sports articles from the BN, from my allotted free ones, and will continue in that method to some changes in the sports department are made.
The BN made the tank more controversial than it needed to be. They made a business model out of attackig the fan base and doing everything possible to turn them against each other.
When I get an apology they get a subscription. ... in the mean time I don't poach it, I just listen to the TG show podcast and live without.

I hate this term honestly. People act like they're not paying the cable company, when most people get their high-speed internet from...the cable company.
Just a pet peeve. Carry on with the thread.
Right but it's a monopoly and people have no choice. Just like you only get your water from a single source.

this reminds me of a topic debated on ppp. Climate change. No actual science beyond a simple snapshot. It's nothing at all I'm concerned with until Leonardo DiCaprio tells me to worry
no they won't. Those dainty parents would have never let them play football.
No, 99% of all pier reviewed science says it's real. The debate is how much it will change the planet not "if" it will.

I mean business, obviously...
This is a winner

I had line of site issues for years. I finally got it last summer. I was super pleased right up until I discovered yesterday my 2 year agreement only included 1 year of the price. Everything goes up 70 percent in August. I am livid. I plan to cancel late July. They can Eff off on the early termination fee as well. I can drag that out a year. Eventually pay pennies on the dollar when it goes to collection.
Why can't any of these scumbag corporations do an honest business? I'm sure it was in the contract but I am also sure it was hard to find and deceptively written.

He gave a good answer about Overdorf. Non committal.
Overall Beane sounds good up there. Professional. Pretty much the opposite of Whaley.
Listening to Doug contort his way through press conference was brutal. This guy certainly sounds the part.

That's some nonsense. Any moron knows where Sammy got the money. Feels like a double standard to me

What causes the damage is the jostling of the brain as it hits the skull. No amount of padding can protect against that.
It's the sudden stop that causes that. I haven't studied it, but if the shell of the helmet has soft padding it could in theory reduce how hard the head stops. Possibly mitigating the brain jostling around.
Like those Sumo Wrestling suits people wear. Not to that extreme but it helps illustrate my point

This team has no business taking anyone at ten unless it's a QB they are in love with. They should be trading down every round. We need to come out of this draft with a minimum of 10 players
-
F Steve Christie. Just because he's a former player doesn't mean he gets to come back and "help out" whenever he wants. We have coaches that do this stuff.
Yes it does

Dumb question as I usually just come here, what does BBMB stand for?
Is it Buffalo Bills Message Board?
Yup
And GMTM is General Manager Tim Murray
Fan behavior improved?

I just finished cleaning off my computer from the afternoon coffee I literally spit out when I read the highlighted bit. The guy next to me thought I was choking.
So very very funny
Thank you
