Megan-Rapinoe - media ho

From the inception of our great country to this current moment - kudos to all Americans that have stood up (or in this case kneeled) to injustice and said, "No More. We will not tolerate this. We can, and will, do better." That is American Patriotism at its finest.
 
The only injustice is the false narrative of injustice in the U.S. Keep deflecting from the real issue of who is committing crimes and what political party is responsible. 8 years of Democrat rule and this country is more divided than ever before, of course that is the goal, less patriotism and more division.
 
As tragic as this shooting is, I could only guess the officer did not wake up that morning and had the premeditated idea of shooting a black man and face the scrutiny she is about to go through. We cannot villanize a whole organization because of incidents like this, like Rapinoe and Kapernick are trying to do. That is why police officers are being attacked and killed. Because of these athletes success, like politicians and outspoken entertainers, they have the luxury to live in their insulated shelter enviroment and can afford to be those armchair activist. Put yourself in the shoes of this female officer, clearly her fear overwhelmed her during this incident and impacted her judgement. Some folks just shouldn't do that type of work. I am only speculating when I say that there are inherent risks and dangers when it comes to being in the military and law enforcement. Unfortunately, they have to be always perfect in their decision making, at the most critical stressful moment. I still admire those that are willing to risk everything, in order to provide the security and freedom so many take for granted.

The victim in this case was unarmed, and not threatening anyone.

Some people shouldn't be cops.
 
Totally agree, it seems that being brave when faced with danger is not a criteria anymore.

Danger? It was confirmed the individual's SUV broke down, his hands were in the air, lying on the ground after being tasered. He was unarmed, shot dead, and ambulance called in late, WTH! Why the delay, were they trying to figure out an excuse why they killed an unarmed black man?

Even killing an unarmed individual and destroying that families lives?

Have some empathy on the innocent individual that was killed for no reason.
 
To set the record straight so you can unravel your bunched up panties, it is tragic this unarmed man was killed by a person who should never have been given that position. I do not believe it was premeditated, her fear during the situation overwhelmed her decision making. As stated some people shouldn't be cops.

*Her fear (of Black people) during the situation "overwhelmed" (influenced) her decision making. As stated "some people" (racists) shouldn't be cops.
 
This is one of the reasons why sports athletes are protesting. I hope these cops rot in jail!

Watch the video!

It's adorable how you think the athletes disrespecting the flag actually care about this social issue, and aren't just garnering attention for themselves. a second string quarterback and an almost has been women's soccer player are spokespeople for human rights? not hardly. and if they were, they would do so in a constructive way, not a derisive, caustic, and controversial way that separates people more. absolutely adorable.

It's adorable how you think you can read people's minds. Even more adorable is your apparent belief that you will convince anyone of your viewpoint.

Women shouldn't be in that situation, as well as firemen or in the regular military. It puts peoples lives in danger. This situation has been brought to you by political correctness.

No one posted it was premeditated!

The video shows, she already had back-up and the individual was lying on the ground, before she killed him cold blooded.

I never posted that I agreed with the athletes using the anthem and flag as their platform, but it's their freedom of speech/expression if they elect to do so.

Freedom of speech does not apply in the private workplace, it is between the citizen and the government.
Try go telling your boss to f-off and when he fires you, tell him you had the right of free speech.

Everyone has the freedom of speech in the work place, because I can say F off to my boss....the consequence is I could be fired for it, but won't be arrested for it.

For someone that is new with an 02 player, curious as to why you haven't posted in the GU2002 thread.

Cops who murder should go to prison.
Everyone who murders should go to prison.
Americans who are gifted with the benefits that come with being a citizen should stand and honor the country that they are blessed to be a part of.
If you're on the NATIONAL TEAM, it shouldnt even be a discussion.
