Players only meeting.

[Nate505]

I love you Nate505. I do. I also appreciate some of your recent decisions. I think your moderating has made Jazzfanz better. I just think you're wrong on this one. It might be a 49/51 type thing, but I think you got this one wrong.

Fair enough. I don't really have an issue of where it should be, but there was nothing about the last 10 pages of this thread that showed me it belongs anywhere, let alone the Jazz forum. But if people want to do nothing but take angry swipes at each other fine with me. I have my doubts it'll be anything more than that, but as my wife likes to point out I'm wrong a lot.

My bigger issue is the people that basically say "why do we allow this here" or "why is this poster allowed here." Do people want to have a discussion where they are allowed to express their beliefs, or do people just want their own echo chambers to shout in? IMO, as long as people aren't breaking the rules I want nothing more than a place where people are allowed to express their opinions. If their opinions suck, let them know about it, which is possible without calling them a dumb **** or whatever.

Lol damnitt phone

Just like that nobody really cares and they get quiet. Just like I said they would do then proceeded to get called nasty names by guys who need anger management.

Couldn't have anything at all to do with the fact that it's Saturday, which is generally when site traffic is lowest.

Sure, yeah.

They've been caught on video setting hundreds of fires, many on precinct buildings. I guess it could be a setup.

Absolutely I accept there were fires. The cement part is just stupid.

As for the shield wall Antifa protesters, they were probably lobbing bricks or other projectiles at the officers.

The officers were trying to move them, not arrest them.

 

[One Brow]

Keep it up Uni, at this point you may hit 100 by days end! It must be taxing work, how's the pay?

Thanks, babe. That means a lot to me.

 

[One Brow]

Fair enough. I'm sure you probably didn't intend it that way but it read that way to me.

There are a handful of posters I hope will try to reign me in when I go too far, that includes both you and @JazzSpazz. I don't thank either of you enough for that. Thank you both.

He overpowered multiple police and survived two taser shots. He then reached for an object in his car.

So, as Larry Wilmore put it with regard to another shooting, he was "the n**** hulk"?

I've already said everything I want to say, and you've offered very little worth commenting upon.

I know you have, that's why I said a one game haitus isn't going to keep the conversation going and you're not the only one.... You prove my point.

Interesting. Which point is that?

 

[Archie Moses]

This thread stopped being Jazz related, I don't know, 20 pages ago?

Could all the right wing fascists and left wing commies here be a little more civil? Probably too much to ask, I know.

Someone had to say it.

Statement by police... It's also alleged that the car was not his and he stole the keys thus having the cops called in the first place.

Mr. Blake was not unarmed. He was armed with a knife. The officers did not see the knife initially. The officers first saw him holding the knife while they were on the passenger side of the vehicle.


The “main” video circulating on the internet shows Mr. Blake with the knife in his left hand when he rounds the front of the car. The officers issued repeated commands for Mr. Blake to drop the knife. He did not comply.


The officers initially tried to speak with Mr. Blake, but he was uncooperative.
The officers then began issuing verbal commands to Mr. Blake, but he was non-complaint.

The officers next went “hands-on” with Mr. Blake, so as to gain compliance and control.

Mr. Blake actively resisted the officers’ attempt to gain compliance.

The officers then disengaged and drew their tasers, issuing commands to Mr. Blake that he would be tased if he did not comply.

Based on his non-compliance, one officer tased Mr. Blake. The taser did not incapacitate Mr. Blake.

The officers once more went “hands-on” with Mr. Blake; again, trying to gain control of the escalating situation.
Mr. Blake forcefully fought with the officers, including putting one of the officers in a headlock.

A second taser (from a different officer than had deployed the initial taser) was then deployed on Mr. Blake. It did not appear to have any impact on him.

Based on the inability to gain
compliance and control after using verbal, physical and less-lethal means, the officers drew their firearms.

Mr. Blake continued to ignore the officers’ commands, even with the threat of lethal force now present.

Statement by police...

Any fascist would regard that as unimpeachable evidence.

Your rendition of this statement has officers engaging in a wrestling match after they see a knife. I find that difficult to believe.

Your statement also has Blake making zero threats against the officers. I find that odd.

While you're frantically googling what fascism means(there' was nothing fascist about posting a police statement)please also tell me what parts are wrong and provide evidence.

Agreed. None of that passes the eye test. Even if that one video was cut specifically to show the "bad"parts, there were still dozens of options available besides shooting him in the back multiple times at point blank range.
