The irony of you writing this lol

Thank you for proving my point! LOL LOL !

Don't bother wasting your time, their is a reason why so many good people have left this site. The vocal minority of irrational and close minded folks can't fathom being wrong and then proceed to spam the board with nonsense to a point where all the decent people leave and the left overs circle jerk over each other with nonsense. It's unfortunate that the CFL season isn't on to help drown out the crap posters but until next year this site will be a ghost town with exception of the people who can't accept that their are people who have different opinions which can be backed by facts. I hope this site is still alive by next season... don't want it to become Ourbombers all over again.

If they trade Laine it would have to be for a kings ransom. If they were to trade him for draft picks and a mediocre d-man everyone would have deja vu from Selanne departing and the fans would go crazy.

Is the pre loaded game the Astro bot game? If so then it's more so a tech demo then a full fledge game. The extra controller is a good thing to get as the PS5 is not backwards compatible with the PS4 controller. The xbox series x and s can both use xbox one controllers on all its games.

Never Say Never again illegally was released by a company that did not have the rights to release a 007 movie. Two companies fighting over the property. This was when Sean Connery was in financial ruins making anything for a pay day (see Zardoz and Highlander). On a side note an unofficial movie that is tied to this universe is also: Starring Sean Connery's brother and several 007 movie veterans....

How much does he make on the open market? 7 million? More?

Correct me if I'm wrong but don't the Yankees have an exclusive ppv stream that other clubs do not which generates 100s of millions in profit?

I laughed but he does have a few good points in it. His closing arguments are hilarious.

But how do you get free shoes and liquor by doing that? I kid... I thought it was cool in Belarus when all the women united and were shrilling and scaring away the military.

You are not allowed to have a different opinion and rather then dispute you on why I don't agree by using facts or my own reasons... I will be rude instead and take the easy way out with lazy answers. Do I fit in now?

Should this post not be deleted and user flagged for abusive behaviour?

Did you not read where I said I think it's 50/50 fault on both parties. Did you not read where I said the police bungled the situation. I clearly said that the actions of both parties lead to this consequence. Society today always just wants to blame someone instead of holding everyone accountable for their own actions. Nobody deserves to go through the trauma of shooting someone and nobody deserves going through the trauma of being shot. Had both parties chose a better path then nobody would of got hurt. It's really weird that society HAS to blame someone 100% instead and make one person a victim and one person a villain. As per the 2nd part the frequency is not high, it's the optics because of the media and because people fixate on agendas. You do realize that police shoot more white people then black people. The black on black crime (shooting and otherwise) is insanely higher then police shootings. But that isn't as juicy to glamorize for the media and people to complain about. That wont sell stories and it's not as fun to complain about because a criminal shooting an innocent person is not something controversial and won't cause any sort of emotional reaction for people. To me I find that f'd up because I don't care if you are Policeman held in high regard or a low live thug held in low regard... nobody should be shooting anyone. It's just weird that people will fixate on a situation like this (which is bad) but then turn a blind eye when the USA bombs a tonne of innocent people to stop terrorism. It's weird that people are not protesting the streets and rioting over crimes that are way more frequent (such as children being raped, people being robbed/shot, massive massive corruption in politics)...

Just because you don't share the same opinion does not mean you are correct. At least I provided valid points to make up my opinion rather then simply jumping on a bandwagon and keeping a close mind. As I said before... could the end result of this situation been different (better) had the guy followed orders and didn't put himself at risk by doing something foolish. The answer is clearly yes.

They definitely bungled it, I have no idea what the training is for that area. In Canada it would of been handled differently I'd imagine. I wouldn't say this is Cowboy attitude and abuse of authority... this situation looks 100% of people who were either not trained properly or completely f'd up and made a panic decision. Cowboy authority would of had them beating the guy to a pulp before he even had a chance to walk to the van. Why shoot him that many times, most police are trained to shoot to stop the immediate threat. Their has been times (not sure about in Winnipeg) where people hopped up on drugs had to be shot over 5 times to bring them down. In this case my opinion (I could be wrong) is that the officer full blown panicked. Did not handle the situation good at all. As for risk an officer takes... if an officer were to take unnecessary risks like you suggest then eventually that officer is going to die. That would never work.

It goes back to decisions made in a matter of seconds... like I said it's super easy to analyze a situation from the couch and to say I would of done this and that.... when you have seconds to make a life or death judgement call and a guy who you think is dangerous is ignoring you and reaching into a car for which you have zero knowledge of what it contains... it's easy to throw stones without being in that persons shoes. No I have not been in that situation myself and would never want to be, but at least I'm aware that it's a really hard job and you have to act on the fly. I think people forget and watch to many movies or tv shows and realize that real life doesn't work the same as on tv. You can't always talk it out or read peoples minds on what they are going to do. You can't predict that a guy is going to be unarmed and just sit in his car peacefully. I acknowledged that they didn't handle the situation correctly and should of tackled him (IMO) before he reached the car. I am simply stating that the guy who was shot should of been wise enough specially with everything on on lately to listen and not do something foolish. I'm not glad that he was shot and think the situation is just poor all around... I'm just in the belief that people need to take responsibilities for their actions. For example If I was in a situation where I was in my car and the police say put your hands up with guns drawn ... I would be smart enough to realize.... I should listen and not made a quick movement for my glove box to get my registration or something else.... if I were to get shot for going to my glove box and ignoring orders then I believe I'm also at fault for that situation.

I agree he definitely flubbed the situation and does hold responsibility for not acting sooner. But answer me this.... would the guy get shot in the back had he listened to the police and avoided turning his back and reaching into his car for who knows what. He definitely holds some responsibility for the situation. I don't understand why people can't accept that sometimes people on both sides need to be held accountable.

If the cop was racist then why didn't he shoot him in the face beforehand? Silly comment for you to make.

When you have seconds to make a judgement call it's easier to say don't do this from the comfort of your couch where you have time to analyze.

But what if he has a gun under the drivers seat and turns around and shoots you in the face... how do you know that he doesn't have this? Like I said easier said from the couch then in the heat of the moment.

But how are you sure that he is unarmed and also he is resisting when he is not listening to the police and following orders to stand down. How is the policeman suppose to know that this guy doesn't have a gun in the drivers seat. I don't think the Police handled it well and probably should of tazed or knocked him down before he reached the car but its so easy for you to say this kind of stuff on your computer chair rather then in the heat of the moment. I say blame is easily 50/50.... police should of tackled him before he reached the car and the guy should of listened. Easy situation that could of been avoided.

Quite breathtaking to watch such large crowds of people uniting against corruption. Sends a powerful message. This is how to properly protest.

What would be awesome is if they aired older games and had some players from each of the teams going over the game giving breakdowns and explaining what they were thinking at certain points.

It's unfortunate that they don't own the rights to all of the old broadcast games because it would of been nice if they aired classic games from over the years.
