re: LSU running back Leonard Fournette shows support for Alton Sterling

Why? Are one of these people who believes cops are always right regardless of what you see before your eyes?

Because you are assuming the cops were justified, even though your eyes show you something different. George Zimmerman? No need to say anymore.

How do you know that isn't true?

Do you know Alton ?

I've seen his arrest record. Seems highly unlikely

LF it seems, is an empathetic human who values things more important than football and LSU fans' opinions. He is a better and wiser person than most on this board.

As I watch the video of this tragedy in Dallas I notice the folks in the march running for cover. This is proper, logical behavior. I also notice the police, who may have not known but did not care if they were the target, running toward the gunfire and putting themselves between the gunmen and the public. This is why the police deserve every benefit of the doubt and a proper investigation before they are damned or condemned by everyone for their actions from the press to the President when 24 hours had not been given to investigate. Certainly if they did wrong a policeman should be charged and prosecuted but only after ALL the facts have been investigated. #toprotectandserve

I am white. I am conservative.

My brother is a cop.

What those cops did was excessive, resulted in the loss of someone's life and thus a homicide.

Any LSU fan faulting the greatest Tiger RB ever for speaking truth to power when the video is clear is either racist or so blinded by an agenda they will risk losing their credibility to promote it.

Most cops are not racist. Most cops are good people who protect us. But these guys committed a crime and the result was another human's death. The morality of this really cannot be seriously debated.

I am proud of Fournette.

I mean I dont hate him for it, but it def has a slight negative knock on my opinion of him.

So showing support of a guy that was murdered puts a negative notch on your opinion of someone?

Same with LeBron and his Trayvon shite

Yeah how dare Lebron show support of a kid that was murdered simply bevause he was black. If Trayvon were white, he would be alive today. The irony is that your opinion of Lebron should take a hit IF HE DIDNT show support of Martin.
