Olympian1010 7,502 Posted June 13, 2020 #6181 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I’ve heard some journalists have been standing in same sport for over an hour while the protest passes (No way to really verify that claim of course, but it’s big no doubt) “Sport has the power to change the world.

Monzanator 3,604 Posted June 13, 2020 #6187 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Even female chiefs of police are forced to resign amid BLM protests. Guess feminists will stay oh-so-quiet here? https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-53037953 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if this will lead to the same kind of protests as George Floyd's death, so far this one seems a whole lot less psycho-like than what Chauvin did...I mean, he grabbed a weapon for crying out loud.

You're applying too much common sense. Since the police chief resigned then the fact this guy grabbed a police taser makes no difference. Unless maybe a policeman gets shot dead it won't make any difference IMO (and even then I'm unsure whether the BLM protesters would care). Police is reduced to mere whipping boys now, whatever they do, it will be a wrong decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a little more defendable then many of the other cases of police brutality that we’ve seen, but it still represents something inherently wrong with our police culture. Our police place too much emphasis on confrontational, violent methods ending conflict, and too little emphasis on positive problem solving techniques that would have much better outcomes for all parties. “Sport has the power to change the world.
