Good, trade him today. Stupid ###### sabres!

You hurt my feelings. Too soon for what?

Wouldn't you agree that fifteen year old kids who have the moral fiber to drop out of school and get a job to help put food on the family table is probably not interacting with the police? Or are you referring to kids on the street corner selling rock?

I agree with that, I'm not a TCU advocate, the never should have been ranked third. The difference over five days is odd though.

Bama vs. Ohio State Oregon vs. FSU I'm glad, maybe it will push the Big 12 to have a conference championship, Bayloy is five and TCU six How does TCU drop from three to six? Crazy! I agree with the rankings 1-6 personally, but I don't see how the committee has such a drastic change after five days with no upsets.

....and the crusade continues....

I'm talking myself into playing Grice over Matthews, anyone think this is a good idea?

An increasing number of my soldiers the last decade are urban minorities. Many of them join with the mind set of doing their four years and then getting out and using the GI bill. The GI bill pays 100% tuition, $500 per semester book stipend, and a housing allowance equivalent to the rank of Seargent for the zip code your school is in, which is over $1100 per month for Clarksville, TN where I live. Just pointing out an option that many impoverished minorities are using, granted it's not for everybody.

The US draws the group of death with Australia, Sweden and Nigeria in the Woman's World Cup, all four teams were the top ranked seed in their pod. Canada has a tough group, Germany and Japan get a free pass. The lottery was very well done, every ball was drawn, opened and read in front of the cameras, no possibility for shenanigans.

Well said sir!

Glad to see them back on track.

Absolutely. A camera only protects an honest cop. Glass, we're having a simple discussion about something specific and you're trying to take it in a direction I have no interest in going. Address someone else. Not sure we're approaching it from the same angle but I still agree with you.

"Why" is not worth my time. I'm sure you have finals coming up, and I would imagine you're probably studying hard and I'd guess maybe you're exhausted. Good luck with your exams, if you really want to discuss this with me after you're rested id be happy to. Goodnight. I'm definitely on board with the cameras. I think they're a good idea and would serve to protect the officer. If you're not doing anything wrong, you shouldn't have anything to worry about.

Both. We have a saying in the army, "You don't have to respect the person, but you have to respect their rank". This is what I meant, and I think it's applicable to the discussion. At least what I was discussing. To reiterate my point, in the discussion I was having, if a cop is talking to you you probably did something wrong which is why he's talking to you in the first place. If a cop is giving you instructions you should listen to him, if you do than nothing gets escalated.

Please do.

You don't have to respect him. Or trust him. Or like him. You just have to listen to him.

How are you confusing trust with following instructions? How is trust even relevant?

I agree, it is completely unacceptable. Was the tradjedy caused by the officers action, or the criminals reaction? No, basic common sense.

I think you just identified the main problem. Kudos to you sir. I disagree, I think that is exactly the point. Respect authority figures. It's that simple.

I have idea what you are referring to, but I don't know you to be someone who exagerates so I'll take your word for it. There's always going to be exceptions and outliers no matter the discussion, that does not invalidate my point though. If you comply with an officers instructions in a respectful manner things don't escalate.

Had he complied with the officers instructions there would not have been a choke hold.

How many times have you seen, read, or heard of a person complying with an officers instructions in a respectful manner and dying? Me either. Why don't more young men and women enroll in a police academy and join their local force so they can be part of the solution?

Now why in the world would you pick up seattles defense? You know their gonna get lit up in philly, right? Please put them in your line-up!

Stupid ###### sabres.

Too long.
