And its also very, very rare


It’s nowhere near rare enough. You are completely missing the problem. It shouldn’t happen at all. Even once a year would be a huge improvement.

Beyond that, it clearly doesn’t happen to middle class+ white people. That means there is inequality in law enforcement. That’s not American. That’s not okay. It’s completely unacceptable.

And don’t act like middle aged white people don’t commit crimes. Drug use is rampant in that demographic. You rarely see them arrested, much less mistreated by the police.

Take it a step further into the elite class. They openly break laws with no repercussions. The war on drugs never even applied to them.

This selective application of laws undermines what we stand for.

No doubt, but its a big world with alot of people, bad shite is gonna happen.

You had 9 unarmed black people shot by police in 2019 and the vast majority of them attacked police in some way. I think 3 was the actual number of unjustified black shootings in a whole year. Very rare.

This is just blatantly false. See Tony Timpa and Daniel Shaver.

Cool, but violent crime isn't rampant in that demographic. Most middle class white Karens who use drugs aren't going to interact violently with police on a whole where someone with 4 armed robberies on their record likely will.

They better register to absentee vote. We will be fighting for the SEC Championship in November. We can't have players going home to other states to vote.

By all means vote. But mail it in.

Not sure why people keep trying to make excuses for criminals.

There are a ton of things that “shouldn’t happen at all”

Only a few are politicized though

Weird

Can’t believe people in this thread think voting on a national level even matters.


Your vote doesn’t matter on a federal level and if you believe otherwise you’re naive. They call the electoral college a checks and balance system but it’s just another way to protect special interest and defer the will of the people.

Any coach that enacts this including the likes of Saban and Kirby are idiots.

Ok pal

You’re broken. Hope Biden wins to make you feel whole.

Or is this where you say you wouldn’t vote for either?
