    I’m sure George Floyd understands...


    So does Jacob Blake, Philando Castile, Breonna Taylor, etc....

    To lose the Open Championship


    Scott Hoch to lose the Masters



    This evidence shows golfer's chokes did not kill anybody

    It is a horrible analogy but unfortunately prosecutors and juries have accept the premise that LEO panic and make mistakes. The Philando Castile case they found the LEO not guilty essentially on that basis. There are other cases like the Amadou Diallo case where NYPD shot man after mistaking his wallet for a weapon were acquitted also.

    "J.B. Holmes for birdie on the fourth hole. He really has put in the time and effort in on this one." - Jim Nance

    "You know this reminds me of what your American President said, even a 15 year veteran like Holmes has to worry about choking." - Greg Norman

    "Holmes putts..... looks good...... oh just missed." - Jim Nance

    "He choked.... just like those officers in Wisconsin. I am sure Jacob Blake appreciates the effo -" - Greg Norman

    "The opinions of Greg and those of the President do not represent the opinion of me or my family, or this network or the game of golf. Please God -" - Jim Nance

    "It happens Jim, like Trump said -" - Greg Norman

    "We are going to break." - Jim Nance

    Yep... it is accepted that highly trained police may panic and make mistakes during confrontations, but citizens they confront are expected to behave in a calm and reasonable manner when confronted.

    The craziest part of that interview wasn't even that. It was when he claimed that random Antifa thugs in black are taking up airline planes in mass to fly to DC.
