Kaep refuses to stand for the Anthem

[Memphis Ram]

False narrative Memphis...rioters, whatever their color, get arrested....and yeah, it also gets broadcasted. I think one difference is when they riot over a sports loss, they aren't also calling for the killing of cops...maybe that has a bit to do with the coverage? Anyhow, off to watch the game....

The point being made wasn't whether or not people were being arrested or if there is media coverage. The point being made is how the events are covered and/or perceived. Also, do we know that there are calls to kill cops in every riot? Or is that being assumed?

It's not people saying it...it's video of them doing it....kinda sorta different. Now, tell me who doesn't bat an eye when "whites" burn down stuff, cause I don't know anyone like that.....we want those turds to see the business end of a police response as well. So, the short answer is, there is no difference

Lol

 

[Dxmissile]

Now you know that particular police dept.'s procedures? ALso, in the video the woman says the officer told him to get his license...the officer says "I told him not to reach for it".....not sure what you heard, but that's what I heard.

No thats just common procedure his police captain even said that, thats where i got that info from and the fact that when i let cops know thats what they have me do. And the cop never said dont reach for it he said it after he shot him not before thats a big difference

You know they aint go watch that.

Honestly? I see people discussing the subject. I'm not seeing people making it about each other so I personally am not inclined to step in. I see a lot of statements that I agree and disagree with. As long as members are sticking to the subject and not attacking each other, let them discuss.

He's was asked by the officer to get his papers. The papers were in his pocket. That sounds like plenty of reason to me. But I do agree with the rest of your statement

Show me evidence of him asking the vic....I'll wait. The video shows the woman SAYING that, but the officer's immediate response is "I told him NOT to reach for it"

you don't know what the cop said before the shot....it wasn't on the video....so you don't know that he didn't say that.

I'd like to think that if someone at a riot is shouting to kill cops, and it's on tape, the news outlet would show it....especially if it's from a predominately white crowd, as you seem to think riots over sports losses are....it would fit a liberal media's narrative perfectly. I don't assume anything, as my previous statements suggest....saying no one bats an eye? sounds like an assumption to me

I believe the news outlets would show such no matter the race. Are you suggesting that calls to kill the police have been made at every protest involving black people? And no I do not believe that all riots over sports loses involve predominately white crowds. However, the riots that include many whites are simply viewed differently. And despite the quick youtube cllip, they are not all sports related.

And you lost me with the no one bats and eye comment.

And she replied "you asked for his papers sir he was reaching to get his papers".

 

[Mick]

And she replied "you asked for his papers sir he was reaching to get his papers".

WEll that settles it then, she said it so it must be true? Sorta like Mike Brown was executed with his hands in the air surrendering.....I'll wait till the investigation is complete and not rely on her account. Also, what did the officer say immediately AFTER she said that? He said, again, " I told him NOT to reach for it"....so lets just see where the investigation leads.

I'm impressed usually this is a PG forum.

Very well then..

America, Love it or Leave it.
You don't want to stand for the national anthem then go find another country to live in. Just be careful, the vast majority of them of are not anywhere near as tolerant as America. The chump should be thankful everyday that he was born here and no some shit hole country.

To the credit of members; this thread went better than it could have.

It seems we've run course and as suggested we should close it.
