re: #tAuburnBasketball Thread

Ross & Rig, can we get a cleanup in the BBall thread please? just delete the off topic posts.

Oh DID HE?!

quote:
The Wisconsin Department of Justice Wednesday evening named the officer who shot Jacob Blake and provided additional information about the shooting.

Blake had a knife on the driver's side floorboard and had no other weapons, the DOJ said in a news release.

The officer who shot Blake seven times is Rusten Sheskey, on the Kenosha police force for seven years. He has been placed on administrative leave.


If you want THE FACTS, read here yourself

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

***************************************
You also need to follow up with your info. It now looks like he may still have had the knife while scuffling with the police BEFORE he tried to enter his vehicle.
In other words...it's still up in the air.


The department said Blake admitted to agents he had a knife and they found one on the driver's side floorboard of the SUV Blake was trying to enter. But it was unclear from the statement when Blake had the knife — or whether two knives were being referenced —and officials declined to elaborate.

Video taken by onlookers shows something in Blake’s hand but it is grainy and difficult to make out. The man who made the widely shared cellphone video of the shooting said he heard officers yell, “Drop the knife! Drop the knife!” but he said he didn’t see a knife in Blake’s hands.

Blake's attorneys have said witnesses did not see a knife.

There is no body camera video because Kenosha police do not have body cams.

An attorney for the Kenosha police union issued a statement Friday saying Blake did have a knife and officers followed protocol in escalating force.

You are wrong. Gus completely said it was because of the shooting. Bruce said it was because of disturbing things going on across the country and also said they skipped practice in solidarity. Just a coincidence that day was on the shooting of the Blake guy. No one is on here promoting a candidate so not sure why you guys keep saying it’s political. It’s cultural and that culture has infected all of sports, including our basketball and football teams.

AuNashville what discrimination by LEO’s? Almost every shooting has been justified and will be either thrown out of court or found not guilty because the evidence is on the side of the police. And please stop this ignorance that black people are being hunted down by the police anyone with half a brain can search the statistics and find that completely untrue. There is also no white privilege nor is there any systemic racism since the early 70’s. Are there racist people absolutely but there always have been and always will be.

So AU Nashville you seem up on the details of these cases give me one example of these recent Injustices by law enforcement?

Black men are 2.5 times more likely than white men to be killed by police during their lifetime.

Black people who were fatally shot by police seemed to be twice as likely as white people to be unarmed

Also, the explanation from the BB team included the following While our players and coaches feel safe and protected by our law enforcement officers in the Auburn Community, we also recognize that doesn't exist for everyone, everywhere in our country.

Idk. These recruits always feel like mythical creatures though

We hear this pitch so often being made but who was the last true two sport athlete? Someone who actually contributed in two primary sports (not including track)
