    "People are tired of the NBA"
    and NASCAR is declining (because of the removal of the Confederate flag)
    and the NFL is dying (because of kneeling)
    and same of the WNBA/MLS
    and baseball has long been dead

    All the sports are dying/dead and you're totally done with ALL of them and will "never ever" watch again.

    Yeah yeah yeah we get it MAGAts, OK.
    You're "done", the sports leagues have lost you, OK bye, stop watching and better yet, stop telling us you're "done" for the 5,839th time.

    It's alright, he told the cop he didn't know he couldn't do that.

    God I hope so man. And I hope he’s also given unlimited healthcare to rehabilitate himself with some of the best psychiatrists and psychologists.

    I hope cops get paid what they deserve. Come try to bribe a cop in my country, they make more than you do. It’s a good system to be honest. Is the most dangerous job. Salaries should be premium, strategy has to change. Reduce the volume and improve the training and pay.

    is it that difficult? wishing for the best, all this stuff would NOT happen if there wasn’t extreme pain in play, I can see it.

    police officer pay is all over the board depending on where they are, their rank and over time. I have known some that did very well.

    In the USA the government has little control over the people which is good in many ways, but it also leads to some problems being swept under the rug.

    A big part of the problem in the USA is mental health and firearms, when it comes to police shootings. A lot of times the police are scared of being shot. We have more guns than citizens here.

    I didn’t realize how much America is the Wild Wild West until I lived in Ireland and traveled often.

    I guess this was making the rounds on Conservative twitter or something, that he assaulted a 14-16 year old. Looks like a Rhode Island law was used to give this misleading impression.

    The 3rd degree sexual assault charge was due to a complaint from an ex-girlfriend. The full complaint is here:

    https://archive.is/YcYRU

    The sexual assault charge was due to this, specifically:

    "LNB stated at about 6AM she was woken up by the father of her children, Jacob Blake, herein known as the defendant, standing over her saying, “I want my ****.” As LNB lay there, on her back, the defendant, suddenly and without warning, reached his hand between her legs, penetrated her vaginally with a finger, pull it out and sniffed it, and said, “Smells like you’ve been with other men.”

    Officer Raiche reported LNB had a very difficult time telling him this and cried as she told how the defendant assaulted her and then the defendant immediately left the bedroom. LNB stated the defendant penetrating her digitally caused her pain and humiliation and was done without her consent."

    That is an indefensible, disgusting act. He may very well deny the accusation, I don't know. There's no evidence that he was assaulting kids.

    It is a disgusting act and he may be a horrible person.... Floyd wasn’t a wonderful person either... but it is irrelevant.

    All 100% true, but there is a core problem deeper than guns and healthcare. It’s really the wretched representatives who are corrupt, the corruption has been normalized, wealth is regularly sucked up from bottom to top.

    Dude have you ever looked up how many hours Americans work vs the world? It’s absurd how productive Americans are and how relatively little pay and benefits they get. That’s the key symptom in the diagnosis.

    At the core of this rotten pyramid is a bunch of billionaires who, to be fair, wanna keep their money. Why would they allow all this to crumble without a brutal defense? Are Americans ready for the tsunami of propaganda, undercover officers, real armed confrontation? I really don’t know the answer to that. America is not at all immune to undercover psy ops, planting explosions and incidents to entrap protestors. You guys should be careful and always value your privacy.

    I’ve ALWAYS said, the way a government acts abroad is exactly the way they will act at home the following ten years. Your government has treated a lot of people like crap and I knew that it meant they would do that to you too. The way they treat veterans is a huge, tragic eye opener.

    Not related but also, American media that is watched abroad (CNN international for example) have underreported more than anyone else. This is the first time in my life I see the us government twist the media’s arm the way so many countries nearby to me do. Something to keep an eye on imo.

    Mom drove him there. Tweet says that's her on the same night

    Illinois law says a parent is also held responsible for a child if they obtain an illegal weapon (he was too young to own in Illinois) and causes harm.

    You have it wrong, Donald. Many Americans are tired of you, your lying and the rampant corruption occurring within your administration. They also are tired of seeing stories concerning racial injustice and police brutality like the Jacob Blake incident last weekend along with what happened to George Floyd in May and Breonna Taylor in March.

    He should have been immediately terminated for those comments. Of course, that didn’t happen.
