  3. That is true but misleading. The population of the USA is comprised of (as of 2016) 61.27% of White people, 17.79% of Latinos, and 13.31% Black people. So yeah, there should be more White people shot by cops. The ratio should be roughly 6:1 - it isn't. It's closer to 2:1. In 2017, 457 White people, 223 Black people and 179 Hispanic people were shot and killed by police officers. That does not reflect the 61.27%/13.31%/17.79% ratio at all... there is a HUGE discrepancy in police shootings.... And yeah that is true- most people are swallowing the narrative that it is Anti Fa and angry leftist that are starting these riots.... that aint the case, no matter how much Barr is not willing to accept the truth that it is actually white nationalists being subverted by russian propaganda. I wish I was being sarcastic- but I'm not.

  4. I think o mentioned this already but just to reiterate. I heard a guy on cnn make a point that you don’t defeat racism. It just hides waiting for oxygen. And trump has been that oxygen. There is no doubt about that. Although I think he’s pretty stupid so it’s possible it’s other people in his admin that give him the white supremacy dog whistles to tweet. this is what I mean by saying no one says “hey look I don’t agree with the grand wizard of the KKK but let’s listen to his economic plan”. That’s trump. Red line time. You stand with trump you’re a racist. It’s okay to be a conservative. It if you were a real non-racist conservative you’d hate trunk because he’s destroying the Republican Party.

    The Russians could not have, in their wildest dreams, have imagined the effectiveness their manipulations of Trump and the GOP would have. In a perfect world, Trump and his coterie would all be tried for treason and never see the light of day again.

  10. In Minneapolis, a police union gone rogue To get some idea of the battle that goes on between the mayor and the police union, here is a story that was reported about a year ago. In open defiance of Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, the union that represents the city’s roughly 900 rank-and-file police officers announced that it is partnering with a national police organization to offer free “warrior-style” training for any officer who wants it… The announcement comes in response to Frey’s ban of the popular training style, which he first revealed in his State of the City address last week. Frey said at the time that Minneapolis would become the first department in the country to eliminate “fear-based” training… Many policing agencies, including Minneapolis’, are moving toward “guardian”-oriented tactics, which focus on de-escalating tense situations and use of deadly force as a last resort. But opponents of this approach argue that such techniques endanger officers’ lives by teaching them to let their guard down. So the mayor banned the use of this “warrior-style” training, with concurrence from the city’s police chief. But the union defied the ban and subsidized the training for officers anyway. It is also the police union that has defended Officer Derek Chauvin, the one who kept his knee on George Floyd’s neck for over seven minutes, when he was the target of 18 prior complaints. https://www.alternet.org/2020/05/in-minneapolis-a-police-union-gone-rogue/

  14. Here's the closest answer I can give you. In 2011 & 12 when my son played Junior College football in Northern California, he introduced his teammates to Trailer Park Boys. He brought a bunch of DVDs down with him & 9 or 10 guys would crowd into his dorm room as he played the series for them & they absolutely loved it. One time, they had a snowstorm as the campus was in the Sierra Mountains. One of the players had a car so my son brushed off all the snow & took some guys on the team for a little ride Canadian Style in an empty snowbound parking lot. He was doing doughnuts & sliding all over the place. He said these tough black dudes who were his teammates from the Hood in LA & Oakland were squealing like little piglets in the back as he roared around. They all thought they were all gonna die. Lol.

    Likely much more than 100,000 dead in the US. Some states like Florida, Texas and Georgia have reportedly been listing Covid-19 deaths as flu deaths when they actually release statistics.

  18. This certainly isn’t helping him. Protests all over America. They’ve had enough of this racist garbage. someone on cnn said it well. Racism doesn’t go away, it hides. And when it’s given oxygen it flares up. Trump is that oxygen.

I'm not sure what exactly we have to gain from any of it except money, if they're going to pony up a whole bunch. Those guys want in on our TV exposure for their players, I think...

    One would think that with all these mass gatherings of protest, this will not bode well with flattening any curve. Trump and his cult will then blame these ‘thugs’ for the virus.

  23. Dropping the price of tickets across the board would be a great start, make attending games more family friendly, no one wants to seat next to a fat drunken slob spouting fouls language and acting like an idiot.

  24. These numbers don't even include incidents like this one, since it didn't involve a shooting. Just I guess at the moment but I'd bet expanded numbers that include non-shooting deaths make the numbers even worse.

    It’s very much like picking a lock, if you can properly manipulate the right “tumblers”, the right pieces fall in place and the lock is opened.

    What he's put out since moving to the Free Press has definitely shifted so I'm not sure how much of it is his actual opinion as opposed to towing the company line. Charles Adler has also shifted his views over the last few years but his change definitely seems more personal than Broadbeck.

    The odd thing is that Flynn was a general, and one would think that his sense of duty to his country would compel him to act in an ethical way above anything Trump would ask or direct him to do.

  45. Watched the game rerun and it was interesting. When my heart wasn't in my throat, some realizations came to me .Firstly, Evans didn't play all that much worse than the Collaros/Streveler combination, but the Bomber receivers were a heckuva lot better. Two Canadians dominated the game-Harris and Demski, Kongbo didn't play all that much or was all that much a factor, so maybe he won't be missed too much. and the TiCats could run up the middle almost will during most of the game. It would have been better if TSN had televised the entire playoffs ending with the Cup game.
