Sports are imploding. I know this isn’t going to be popular but they need to stop defending criminals. Don’t resist arrest  and don’t reach in your car and you don’t get shot. The guy was a felon.

Taking off a day to defend a rapist, someone who had a warrant out for an arrest that went to his vehicle to get a weapon, this is so bleeping dumb.

Thank you media for again rushing to set a narrative before the facts come out.

I could use a day off. Everything is imploding, from Brownsburg residents fighting over stopping a large industrial project to all that is going on in my life and around it. Peace!!!

This take is trash.

Agreed.   He did deserve to be shot.  The officer messed up by unloading 7 rounds into him.   That was wrong.

A way over reaction IMO. 

[buccolts]

Wait! Do we know that they're supporting the criminal who got shot?

Could they be supporting a reasonable solution to the rioting? An understanding of why police respond as they do, how to conduct yourself in an arrest situation, and not to believe social media these days?

Are we assuming they all feel the same way about each topic? 

All we know is that they feel it's out of hand, and how can they make a difference, no?

Voting is the simplest thing we can all do.

Then it's up to the powers that be to negotiate a solution. And NO, that's not all on Trump. A lot of these local politicians need to adjust their thought process.

Moot argument.

 

The point for this forum is that it's one less practice.  Considering the number of practices allowed, that is huge.

Yes.   They arguably could have restrained his without firing a shot, but I'll side with a shot was possibly needed.   They tried a taser and tried to restrain him without success and he still appeared to be trying to grab something from his car.   The 7 shots were too many.

Yeah, at a crucial time when cuts are coming soon.  I would have rather seen them allow those who want to sit out do it without punishment.   Although if you are near the cut list, there could still be consequences.

You don't get it. It's not about this one individual who did a horrible crime. It's about the 1000s of others who have died and did nothing wrong.

They could have compromised. Just keep practice for the bubble players. 

The other players could do what they think they should.

This case is not related to the others.

If ever we needed to take a day and pause, this is one.

Closing the thread with the hope that more people stop and think about where we are.
