It was 2 years ago and the video had no sound. The kid was high on LSD and naked. He Approched the campus police building and was shot by an office despite fact he never got more than 5 ft to the officer. He also clearly held his hands out with palms outward to show he was unarmed.
So why did the Mike Brown incident cause such an outage and this one was an officer being threatened? We will never take back our govt for the people by the people until we realize what both political parties use various social injustice incidents to serve themselves and keep the people divided into us and
them groups.By the way we have trial juries and put people in jail based on “All we have are conflicting eye witness testimony.”. Do you want everyone to have body cams?
Maybe we can put body cams on ex-wives too so we can see what they really do with all that child support one has to pay even if you have shared custody (if the law so graciously allows it).
There has always been the potential for police to abuse their power and always will be. I am not nearly as worried about the physical and profiling abuse you seem to be deathly afraid of as I am of the NSA, Patriot Act and other govt overreach including the brainwashing of two generations that they can’t Bette themselves without govt handouts.
So if Wilson told the unarmed kid to get the F out the street that justifies him assaulting a police officer?
Go back and read the earlier post by another on here on SJW and also tell me if your bleeding over the white kid killed by the AL cop? CNN and MSNBC sure ain’t. Tell me why. Why did the media pick up as the truth that the deranged Tx shooter was “anti-govt” and “anti-immigration” based on wild assed speculation by the Austin police chief?
The Wolfpack have had the Tar Heels on their minds since last year when they came to Carter-Finley Stadium and stomped on the N.C. State logo after winning. Thornton said he and his teammates never forgot that, and they also didn’t like how UNC’s guys spray painted Duke’s locker room the other night after beating the Blue Devils.
“Our big thing here was to show them how to win with class,” Thornton said.
Even while N.C. State was manhandling UNC, the Tar Heels kept talking junk, Thornton said.
“Honestly, they never stopped. They never stopped,” Thornton said. “It was more so about us beating them between the whistles than after. Anybody can talk.”
I love the culture DD has instilled!
What would you expect from that university and fan base? I would not be surprised to see the ACC under Swafford try to address “taming down” tough football play via the refs next year now that DD let his plan out.
They put themselves in harms way everyday and get involved in tense emotional situations with people of questionable behavior everyday. I tend to give them and the military the benefit of doubt. Not sure why you think all people would or even should agree with your thoughts on this.
The outcome was horrible but it could have been prevented if the authority figure you want held to a higher standard had been given the respect that an authority should get. You can’t have it both ways.
I think that CNN, MSNBC, Fox and race-batters would twist the story regardless of what the video showed.
Under the system of “giving the police the benefit of the doubt”the evidence provided would say you could not get a conviction. Most of the evidence was tinted as soon as the media starting broadcast the “facts” from their point of view.
Google the media account account of the Texas Gunman two days ago and watch the media report the Austin police chief “wide ass speculation” as truth.
Review the AL case and ask why it is different from Ferguson. The answer: SJW and media.
Body cams are also not the end all be all solution because it cannot measure the feelings and emotion of the situation.
Pakfan wrote “If they had cameras, detectives could have immediately gone to the film to confirm what officer Wilson said happened, and none of this would have happened. Ya know, unless the film didn’t back him up.”
I don’t believe this. Depending on the angle and what exactly might have been captured on film the video could have been inconclusive like some replays. With the car struggle the body cam could easily have come off or been broken.
More importantly the meaning of Brown’s hands and turn around movement toward Wilson would still be open to Social Justice Warriors interpretation. The media and others who see this as a chance to win political points, favor and power would still have fueled the moral outrage and the 1% discussion.
Police had always been given the benefit of the doubt. Ask the guy’s family in Mobile AL shot by a cop in 2012. If the SJW want to change that and make laws holding the police more accountable then they should focus on that. Police accountability for all negates the racial aspect of it.
I ain’t holding my breath for it though.
I also like these goals. I’ve borrowed from our HR department when I set project goals for my project managers, in that we try to make them follow the ubiquitous SMART formula: each goal should be Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant and Time-bound. Each one of these goals satisfies those requirements. At the end of the season, it will be very easy to say whether or not the team met each goal.
Some goals should be things that just get done, without a lot of thought, almost “taken for granted”. Goals #1,#2 fit this category. Sometimes you wonder why you say it out loud, it’s so “obvious”. But it’s important to do so, to focus attention on the goals, and to have them front and center during the season.
It’s also important for future individual and program development to have stretch goals. #5 and #7 fit that, to me. #5 simply because of the preponderance of WTF penalties in strange situations last year. Hard to turn that culture on a dime and move that far, that fast.
IMO, by far, the most difficult goal is #7. But, for reasons enumerated above, it’s well within the realm of possibility. We can beat FSU at home, but it’ll take really good execution of a tailored game plan. It’s hard for such a young team to execute to that level with enough consistency to approach such a goal. But it’s achievable.
I like the way this coach thinks.
Could not have said it better. The first two goals are like your “core EHS values” for running a chemical plant. I LIKE that he sets the core value first. Of course TOB also did that too. For all his faults I did like how he ran the program and I am glad to see that DD is strong in this area also.
I think if they were “really” tired of his crap they would have cut ties with him as an “employee” after this incident. The PC angle is the half-game suspension. They either need to tell everyone that he is an important employee and nothing will happen to him or cut ties with him. Simple as that. The 1/2 game suspension is meaningless. Next time it is 3 quarters suspension? Maybe suspend him the first quarter of three games???
Since you’re new to the site I’ll cut you a little slack but here’s a friendly piece of advice.
I did not see any slack cut nor anything friendly but … hey … welcome new member!
Yep we look good! Unfortunately Coach D’s program is a reflection of the new generation….all hype and fluff with nothing of substance to back it. Do we even have a strategy for this season much less this game?
Sure they reported this (NBC News):
“At some point this body has to take a stand and try to realign these branches,” said George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley. “If it doesn’t I think this system is going to change in a very significant, and in my view, dangerous way.”I am talking about the more in-depth fact that he is a supporter of the POTUS but yet even he sees and thinks the overreach is dangerous. Fox News does not count.
Food for thought too:

FOOSE wrote a week ago:
For the record, the “high crimes and misdemeanors” ofthe current President long ago exceeded Nixon’s. That’s according to respected and renowned liberal George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley, not me.
“Obama Is Really The President Richard Nixon Always Wanted To Be”
“Obama… has succeeded to a degree that would have made Richard Nixon blush.”
“The danger is quite severe. The problem with what the president is doing is that he’s not simply posing a danger to the constitutional system. He’s becoming the very danger the Constitution was designed to avoid.”
This from someone who voted for him twice and still supports his policies. It is his methods and tactics to which he objects.
Not a week later I see this guy providing testimony to Congress in the lawsuit against the POTUS. YET NOT ONE MAINSTREAM MEDIA OUTLETS HAS PICKED THIS UP. Huff Post quotes him extensively until this week???? Amazing. I guess he should be prepared for a tax audit too.
Ok. Got it figured out. Forget I tried to have a discussion and I don’t have time for Obama like mocking and snarky comments.
You ignore the radical idiots yet you know and can name many of them in the Republican party but in answer to my question of any there might be in the Democratic party you “ignore them” and cannot name any. So there is no one in the Democratic party that is the equivalent of Palin in your opinion?
I am all for immigration reform too because I have gone through it for family and loved ones. Thus I prefer for us to fix the legal side of immigration before we start to “award” illegals but I am not against amnesty since I realize you cannot deport all of them. I do want assurances that we will stop allowing the illegal route to be easier than the legal route.
Regarding the immigrants I did say “mostly” and I am also taking about illegal immigrants. I doubt you run across only illegal immigrants in your day to day life.
I find that hard to believe or understand unless you are also one of inelastic ideologists that the country seems paralyzed by today.
For example comprehensive immigration reform is made up of three legs. Boarder security, overhaul of the stupid legal immigration process that keeps us from attracting the “best and the brightest” while also breaking apart families and amnesty for the 11-30 million illegals already here (who mostly fail the best and brightest test).
We could pass the first two today easily. It is the third one that neither party can support because neither party will move off their radical side’s position.
Hard core as in unyielding liberal or conservative that cannot have a reasonable discussion and/or give and take decisions.
“Insert any hard core liberal or conservative politician name” is the Rashad McCants of the “Insert associated political party”.
I didn’t miss the point. I have seen you in action enough to know you shower everyone with fireworks at the meantion of the mirror oposite of your 5 points.
Regarding the refs I have been here a long time and I have yet to see someone say that the SOLE responsibility for State’s lack of success is due to the refs.
