What would you do if someone broke into your house screaming in the middle of the night? Charles is full of shite. And there's a bunch of 2nd amendment hypocrites up in here.

"I need guns to protect myself from the government."

:The government starts breaking into people's houses unannounced abusing no knock warrants:

"Not then though. They deserved to get killed. They had guns!"

I thought we were tired of the NBA broadcast discussing politics? Now we’re okay with it and celebrating it? Weird. Can’t figure out why

Way more left wing twats who only notice police actions when a black person is affected.

I agree. It's just funny that for years he's been the goofy hot-take guy on TV that nobody really took seriously. Now he's one of the only people speaking the truth.

he's always been speaking truth. things weren't so hot and contested until 2016ish

Yeah if you watch the second clip ole Charles is still part of the race baiting claiming that "rich white people will always have police".

He's headed in the right direction with some of his commentary but he's still mired in the us versus them narrative of unequal treatment of blacks by the police.

He isn’t that far off base. If police ceased to exist the people that stand to suffer most are the poorer communities. Richer people will either not disband the police in their communities or have private security firms either personally or through a neighborhood HOA or something.

There is nothing untrue about that statement that he made.

Exactly. Audubon place may be the richest subdivision in Louisiana. During Katrina they had mercenaries camped out to defend their shite. During the closest thing to governmental collapse this nation has seen since the civil war probably.

compare this to the Jalen Rose/ESPN production. TNT blows them out of the water in every way possible



This has nothing to do with their views, its just strictly based on who does a better job.

I could watch the NBA on TNT pregame crew all the time. They must have free reign because they don't whole back and they know basketball.

The ESPN NBA in studio show (with Rose, Williams, Maria Taylor) is trash.

As for as what Barkley said tonight, I think what he said represents what a lot more black people think than a lot of other people realize.

Does anyone even know who started the Defund The Police campaign?

I ask this because listening to a Joe Rogan podcast and this woman who was a journalist went into the streets of Portland and basically said all the protestors had a real plan to try to abolish the police in Portland. And as crazy as it sounded at first, they are actually having success and that the BLM protest was just a reason for those in Portland to protest.

My point is, ESPN better be careful what agenda they push because it will eventually become associated with something that could really hurt their ratings.

Race bait, but true. Rich black people will have cops too. There was no need for him to say “white”, just “rich”.
