    The Well-Mannered Politics Thread

    I know I tried to check out once already and came back again but I really have to stop. I got next to nothing done today and I can’t allow myself to be so distracted I’m thankful I have a job I can work so I need to focus. I know I’m lucky as a close friend who has been out of work for months...

    The Well-Mannered Politics Thread

    I did not say I’m not in support of the protests but I guess saying that measures need to be taken to protect the citizens of the city make it that I don’t. I realize that the violence is done by a small group of people who are not even really seeking justice they are a collection of criminals...

    And I stated many many Times why parameters like curfew and blocking areas of a city but destruction is the result and appears to be what you want so I can feel uncomfortable. Don’t you see how wrong that is?

    Convict the murderers of the murder. I’m sorry you’ve already established that I’m an idiot so please help me out here I don’t know what that means I thought the point was justice for the cops who perpetrated the crime that started this. I want to see that but that’s somehow wrong. All I...

    The Well-Mannered Politics Thread

    Ugh I said I’m done yet I respond ... I thought I explained several times why parameters need to be set I don’t know why I have to type the same thing again. In times of massive unrest there is not enough man power to patrol the entire city and the times of greatest risk is night time. So...

    I’m done here. Hope the police involved in the case are convicted and serve serious prison time Hope the riots stop and peaceful protests continue within the parameters that city officials create in order to keep their citizens safe. Disagree with that if you like but there is nothing more...

    I stated the point of curfew and restricting access to areas of a city as being necessary at times of major unrest because there is simply not enough manpower to protect the public. So lift the curfews open all areas of the city and watch the police be helpless to stop massive destruction...

    The Well-Mannered Politics Thread

    Who chose not to hear anything? When you say “you” you are talking to “me”. Have I not already said what triggered the unrest is an abomination and does need to be (and appears to be getting) addressed? Or are you too busy ignoring what I say and instead label me based on nothing more than the...

    The cops are not being sent out to brutalize peaceful protests. They are sent out to prevent violent unrest and uphold law. If that is to enforce a curfew or to prevent people from entering areas of a city that have been hit by violence they will do that. I’m not following every single outraged...

    The Well-Mannered Politics Thread

    As I said ... a situation where every city in the country is in flames is going present 1,000,000 opportunities for some new outrage. When every city becomes a battlefield the fog of war is everywhere. Some of what we will see will be more bad conduct from law enforcement who could also face...

    What happened in 2006 time frame that started this dramatic shift toward this division? We had seemed to be moving toward a color blind society and now we are in civil war. The escalation is breath taking. Riots across the nation destroying businesses and homes where people who live in difficult...

    No wonder the Packers wanted to hire Eric as their GM.

    Lamar Jackson

    Lamar has said as much as well. He will reduce his carries as he continues to grow as a passer. He ultimately needs to over time.

    Even if the 2021 draft is deep in Edge players it will be hard to get an impact player at that position given we’ll be selecting at the #32 spot ...

    You know ... I don't believe it either. However, it underscores what life would be like with him - even if by some chance he's had some sort of "come to Jesus" epiphany and decides he's going to behave. He's is now a popular target. He will draw controversy and likely have further accusations...
