America coming apart at the seams?

[GT93]

The NFL has egg all over its face:

https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2020/ ... kaepernick

NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said the league made mistakes in not listening to players in a video on Friday denouncing racism in the United States amid widespread protests over police brutality against black people.

“We, the National Football League, admit we were wrong for not listening to NFL players earlier and encourage all to speak out and peacefully protest,” said Goodell. “We, the National Football League, believe black lives matter.”

No mention of Colin Kaepernick. No salute to Kaepernick.

what the He-- has the NFL got to do with Raceism or NASCAR, NHL, MLB, etc

They are an entertainment venue ?

Sports people, actors, especially ACTORS, Doctors, etc keep there noses in on what they were hired to do.
OH and Reverends (Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson the two go arm in arm) stay the H out of it.

The media hypes this all
Watched a March today in Cobourg Canada for "Black Lives Matter" and guess who wasnt there? Any people of Colour

AND?
I believe it was Michael Jordan and my Father that told his sons, "If a Police Office asks you any questions, answer them (politely), if you are told to move , you move (without comment), if you handcuffed do not resist, (again without comment), You comply to the fullest"

"Any issues from this I will deal with Later at the appropriate premisies and with the appropriate people."


So what is so hard to understand and do????

In the USA, maybe. However in civilized countries you are able to ask for a reason and if it is not reasonable you can tell the officer that you have no need to follow his orders as your are doing nothing wrong. If he then attempts to arrest you, he is up for wrongful arrest.

Heaps of cases in Australia where cops were sued for these types of offenses. As a result, the cops are normally very polite and careful, for those that go over the top, the courts deal with them quite harshly

If you are breaking the law, police have a LEGAL reason to take action. If you are not breaking the law, the police should leave you in peace.

Here is a novel idea. The police should operate lawfully just like every other citizen.

Just in case you are too thick to notice, the demonstrations of the past week and a half were because a cop murdered a guy. Or do you think he should just have gone ahead and died without complaining and everybody who is protesting is eroding police power which should be unfettered.

[maaka]

didnt the guy die of a heart attack. If so, how is that murder?

I'm now in total agreement there will be no more appeasement

Our new hero George Floyd was a piece of excrement who deserved everything he got, should have been sooner and the same for all like him.

They didn't steal any books either. They were disappointed that there was nothing they wanted to steal so they just burned the bookstores down.

cjd01, how does it feel to live in a country where you are in the minority with no rights, and also you don't mind being governed by these non whites.

[cjd01]

By the way before you play the sanctimonious race card, I don't care if he was white, black or brindle
excrement is excrement and that's what he was, google his criminal history.

Since it seems you are a racist cjd01, how does it feel to live in a country where you are in the minority with no rights, and also you don't mind being governed these non whites. You are a disgrace to white supremacy.

I'm in no way a racist, happily married to a non white for nearly 19 years, I choose to live here because I want to, my personal ideas involve letting everyone enjoy their lives as the see fit as long as you let me live mine without pushing your left agenda down my throat.

Yep ...... the world can't get enough of extra-judicial murder by those paid by the state, and sworn to enforce the law.

[newtovillagelife]

Your well thought response is truly superior, thank you can I count on more meaningful life lessons?
As I said happy to let you live your life but don't need or want you to lead mine.

I just call it the way I see it. Glad to see you didn't deny my statement.

Not true, not true at all.

They stole from Trump's library. All three books. The true tragedy was two of them had not even been coloured in.
