I agree he should be given a fair chance, it is laughable to think it is anything above a PR stunt though. Reminds me of that time Riders brought in Vince Young in training camp well past his prime lol.

SpeedFlex27 Posted June 18, 2020 Report Posted June 18, 2020 He'll get signed & go back to being a coach killer like he was with the 49ers. He was the worst starting qb in the NFL last time he played. When you lose your starting position to Blaine Gabbert... MrFreakzilla, Gabriel and Tiny759 3

Tracker Posted June 19, 2020 Report Posted June 19, 2020 (edited) LA County Deputies Shoot Dead Teen Security Guard Who Ran From Them REUTERS An 18-year-old who was employed as a security guard in Gardena, LA County, was shot dead by Los Angeles County Sheriff Department deputies Thursday night. The teen, who was identified to local reporters as Andres Guardado by devastated family members, was carrying a handgun as part of his security duties at an auto body shop. His employer, Andrew Heney, told CBS Los Angeles: “Police came up, and they pulled their guns on him and he ran because he was scared, and they shot and killed him. He’s got a clean background and everything. There’s no reason.” Edited June 19, 2020 by Tracker
Tracker Posted June 19, 2020 Report Posted June 19, 2020 Was watching the late-night show last night and a couple of things really stood out for me and are still bothering me today. One black female comedienne spoke of her fears in living in New York with her boyfriend and that every time he went out being afraid that he might not come back as he had been accosted often by police. Another black female writer/director who had often been the object of harassment and discrimination by white in LA said,"White people should consider themselves lucky that all we want is equality and not revenge." It seems to me that there is a now very short window of time in the US where peaceful change is possible, but the way that the right-wingers are reacting with threats, violence and calls for militant action, I am not at all confident this is not going to end without a massive loss of life and bloodshed.

I assume she wasn't around back when New York was extremely dangerous and had a corrupt police force. This pic best represents that era: MOBomberFan 1

Tracker Posted June 25, 2020 Report Posted June 25, 2020 A definitive statement on the NASCAR incident: NASCAR Releases Photo of Bubba Wallace Garage Pull, Defends ‘Hate Crime’ Accusation via NASCAR NASCAR released an image of the garage pull found in African-American driver Bubba Wallace’s Talladega garage after investigators determined that there was no hate crime involved. The rope, which was tied as a noose, had been there since at least October 2019, before Wallace took the garage, the FBI concluded. Wallace, appearing on CNN Tuesday evening, said he had never seen a garage pull tied in that manner. Several people on social media have accused Wallace of faking the incident but Wallace said he did not see the noose or file the report.
Tracker Posted June 26, 2020 Report Posted June 26, 2020 Fired Miami Cop Charged After Video Shows Him Kneeling on Black Woman’s Neck Reuters / Leah Millis A former Miami police officer has been charged with battery and misconduct after a viral video showed him pressing his knee on a Black woman’s neck as she screamed. The Miami Herald reports that a video shot by a bystander shows the officer—named as Jordy Yanes Martel—reach into the Black woman’s SUV, drag her out, press his knee onto her neck, and tase her stomach. The woman has been identified as 33-year-old Safiya Satchell. She was arrested on charges of battery on a cop and resisting with violence—but those charges have since been dismissed. Martel and another officer, Jaiver Castano, were fired last week, although Miami Gardens Police Department hasn’t confirmed why they were let go. Martel has now been charged with battery, and was also charged with official misconduct for filing two reports containing false details about the January incident.
