Care to take a guess why Trump ignored speaking about the Charlotte incident? Battleground state in a dead heat right now.
Either side his words would seem to favor...upset NC blacks or police...the position would have a strong chance of costing votes.
Donald Trump has weighed in on this.
Funny that I can't remember President Obama ever saying anything so judgmental or divisive on these issues, but I constantly hear of the President's "divisive" and "anti-law enforcement" message.
I know for a fact that officers can punch in your Lic Plate number and come up with all types of info on you. So, the officer might of known about his RAP sheet before the shooting. Did this influence the officer, maybe.
WowThank goodness we had Obama to fix things
For sure Hollandtx. Sometimes I just want to scream at the TV ... all you analysts are speculating and then basing analysis on speculation. The results are what in this public forum I'll call organic fertilizer that should not be taken seriously.The rush to judgment is clearly out of hand,
Oh brother...THAT will help recruiting. Suddenly a scholarship means giving up your free speech rights?
I don't support them but I support their right to do it.

Is he wearing a sweater vest?Thank goodness we had Obama fix things
I personally have quit watching NFL for that very reason. It's not so much just Kaepernick, the last straw for me was when the NFL told Dallas they could not have a helmet sticker honoring the 5 dead DPD officers, then the Kaepernick thing came right after that, and I said I am out.
Just as vote totals in the primary do not mean that #Shillary is worth a damn, ratings relative to other sports does not mean the NFL is not in a decline.NFL circling the drain? It crushes every other sport in ratings. I'd readily admit that Roger Goodell has had more than his share of missteps, the concussion controversy the worst. It's still the king of professional sports.
Is this the new expectation of our policemen and women?
For everyone who thinks, "why didn't they taze him", or, "they acted too quickly", please watch this video. Rham Emmanuel stated that this was another unjustified shooting and claimed the policeman who finally shot this man was "violating both the standards of professionalism that come from being a police officer, but also basic moral standards".

For all the worship we heap on firemen, I lived next door to one for almost 15 years. He was a super nice man, but I don't think he was in a truly life threatening situation once during that time. He knew what he was facing, the fires were usually smaller---San Antonio doesn't have lots of old abandoned buildings, and high rises. He dealt with house fires, car fires and that type of thing.
A policeman goes into an unknown situation ever single day, multiple times. Any little traffic stop, noise complaint, domestic situation can be the one that escalates into a very dangerous, if not life-threatening situation.
This policewoman, who was seriously injured, claims she was too aware of the investigation and fall-out that would happen if she shot this man. So, he almost killed her. He was tazed several time, and since he was on PCP, it didn't phase him. I lost count at 8 policemen who tried to pry the man off of the policewoman as he bashed her head against the concrete.
As you can see, it took just a mere second for this to all go south. I am aware that some shootings may seem, may even be, on the side of "really fast", and there have been some videos that truly trouble me.
However, time after time, many of these videos produce important information "after the fact", just like the case in Oklahoma, where it was found the man killed was on massive amounts of PCP. Unfortunately, that policewoman is charged with murder. I wonder if that situation went through the mind of this officer as she saw the tazer wasn't working, even a tiny bit.
I wonder if the person we loved was on the other side of a bad guy, how many seconds we would want or expect them to wait and see if the hand at the side of a suspect would quickly grab a gun tucked in the waistband, or door, or as this video proves, flat out use those hands to produce great bodily harm.
In the past couple of weeks, 4 or 5 policemen have been killed. Some were responding to false calls, so they walked in to an ambush.
The press is so focused on DT, and where his hands were, that these incidents aren't being heard, and this video isn't receiving airplay on the news or social media. Why anyone would actually want to be a policeman is starting to become a valid question, and I wonder if, like our candidates. we will soon have a police force we deserve.
I've seen some in which I blame the cop for shooting too quickly or beating the guy excessively, but the overwhelming majority of the time, the officer is justified.
