Sig1Hunter Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Hey. He had a knife. He was not unarmed. He was tased. He broke free from physical control. And, again, he had a knife - while in close quarters confrontation with cops. Justified, all day..all night. If you want to resist the cops with a knife in your hand, you *will* get shot. While reading through the thread, I read the word “punishment” several times. He wasn’t shot as punishment. Courts are where punishment is meted out. He was shot to eliminate the articulable threat to the cops and others. For some reason, he wouldn’t accept following the cops commands so that he would have his day in court. Now, he will have his day in court while paralyzed. Dummy. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to argue against that. Exactly. “Yes sir, officer.” “No sir, officer.” Show respect, don’t show attitude.... don’t be a ***** idiot. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think that millionaire ex basketball players are going to enter into a trade for their next employment? I was making a joke about leaving college early, and not having a backup plan (degree) in order to keep up their lifestyles. Geez dude.

Bill from NYC Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 (edited) I hope that the entire league is boycotted and put out of business but if it does reopen, maybe they should give free tickets to that lovely 75 year old "gentleman" in Buffalo tragically so sadly took a little spill.

PastaJoe Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 It will be interesting to see how all the Bills fans here will react if the Bills and NFL take similar action like the NBA. Will you boycott the Bills? Call for the NFL to be disbanded? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude you’re better than this. A police shooting isn’t an execution. It’s an act of self-defense or defense of another against an armed criminal the overwhelming percentage of the time, including the case relevant to the thread. This has gotten way past the point of ridiculous now. You don’t tackle an armed man who resisted arrest, you don’t wrestle with him, you don’t ***** around with him. You negotiate his weapon away from behind a gun and gain compliance until he refuses to negotiate anymore. In this case, the negotiations included the use of a taser that failed to compel compliance. Some basic ***** we’ve learned since the news broke on this one: 1. Police were called by Blake’s girlfriend who informed police that Blake was not welcome in her home. 2. Police officers attempted to place Blake under arrest. Blake resisted. 3. After he resisted arrest, a taser deployment was used without success. 4. A knife was recovered from the scene and Blake admitted to possessing the knife in interviews following the shooting. This ***** only gets more cut and dry if a cop ends up catching a bullet, which is the really ***** obvious goal of all this nonsense. Every single cop worth a damn that has the years in NYPD has put in his papers because they recognize that simple fact.
