re: Is Ryan Clark just a Skip Bayless troll these days?

I hear you man and I think a lot of people are getting tired of it. There’s a disconnect between the 48-49 million on twitter and the other 280 million people in this country.

I usually try to stay out of these threads so I've never seen that before. The whole Drew Brees thing has me triggered for some reason. So, I've been I’ve participating in this conversation a little more.

You're ok in my book Lunatik.

frick LeBron and every other millionaire athlete crying bout how bad they have it!!!!!!!!

Do you know Lebron's story dude. Homeless for most of his childhood, living out of a car, hell one time they lived out of a fricking u-haul. Try that for awhile and get back to me.

That level of poverty is not limited to the black community fwiw

I don’t put any personal credence into anything Lebron says (or any athlete, for that matter), but recognize that millions of people do. If Lebron wants change, he should sit down with Bob Woodson for an hour and put one iota of his ideas into practice which would do more to undo the damage to race relations that occurred from Obama’s term than anything. The stances that LBJ, and now the MSM and the rest of the people who have lost their damn minds take perpetuate the Ferguson Effect tenfold; they’re just too ignorant to realize they’re making the problems they are bitching about much worse.

That was the fault of white people?

His kid is a shrimp no chance he ever gets paid to play. RC has lost respect of many followers who were proud of his accomplishments. Myself included.

. It seems like there's too much us vs them going on out there and too many people drawing lines and picking sides.

And this is precisely what i'm trying to point out. Some people are entrenched in their views without any prospect of looking at it from another's point of view.

Again, for those that have a functioning brain, a statement was made as to whether Lebron "had it rough" growing up. I simply gave the poster a brief summary of what Lebron went through as a kid.

Lebron BEAT the odds. NOWHERE in my response did I place BLAME or FAULT on anyone. And I challenge you to find where I said it was the fault of white people or ANY PEOPLE for that matter.

As in most cases like this, today's victim was yesterdays criminal with a history of drugs and violence.

Also as is most cases, the person doesn't get the life snuffed out of him by a cop who refuses to let him breathe while handcuffed and non-combative. 99% of police officers would have handled that differently IMO. Unfortunately, Chauvin CHOSE differently.

Decisions and reactions don't happen in a vacuum.

The very first obligation of the officer when arriving on a scene is to de-escalate the situation, then control the situation, it sure as hell not to choke someone to death that you have in custody.

quote:

---

The problem with not admitting the "victim" may have been a predator will lead the mob to one conclusion when the police are found to be innocent.

---

You see, a good officer cannot ASSUME the call he/she is responding too that a person MAY HAVE BEEN a predator. Now once the situation is in control, he may find out that, but when you arrive on a scene initially, you don't know whose a predator and who is not.

Amen to that.
