Another knee jerk reaction. All of the facts in this case are not known. When they are justice will be served. It will either be found to be a justified shooting or the police will be prosecuted.

How can anyone protest this without know what happened.

So many people thought that the George Floyd case was cut and dry. Now it's being released that Floyd had a white pill on his tongue when police first approached him and that is was an illegal drug that caused his death. The autopsy will show one way or another. But it's very possible that the officer kneeling on his neck had nothing to do with his death.

People need to wait until all of the evidence in any and all cases has been presented before reacting.

Very true.
But does not fit the current racism/divide/destroy America agenda.

Default Go Bolts

I watched the Bolts beat up on the Bruins last night and the Avs come back to challenge Dallas. National Anthem was played and no one took a knee. When baited by MSNBC to comment on the shooting, the players would only say they support equality. Enough said. The Bolts are leading the series 2-0 and The Blues (who mopped them up last year and a serious contender this year) were eliminated in round one by the Canadians along with the Caps. Some big upsets. Watch hockey. Some great games. The Avs game was especially fun to watch. Incredible goals by both teams. Go Bolts!!

Awww, dang it. The NHL is now suspending games.

Aren’t you aware that BLM is an anti-American Marxist organization? Do some research. Look at their stated goals - don’t let their name confuse you.

I'm done with them to. They should give their millions to people who need it at these hard times.

You don’t want to watch, don’t watch it’s a free country. The NBA players are free to boycott also. You know some things are bigger then sports and many players are just as outraged at shooting as many of the same people are

with them . So many angry at them and saying nothing about a bad shoot. I can only go on the video and my own experiences , but right from the start as he started walking away if he had put the gun away it’s a very simple take down from behind bending into him so his knees give away , even muggers use it. Pumping 7 or 8 bullets into someone should have us all outraged black and white

Sarcasm perhaps or looking for affirmative action. A true sports fan doesn't see the skin color of the athlete.

Thank you everyone for flagging yourself as self absorbed, compassion less racists. You've outdone yourselves on this one.

It's bigger than sports.

Yes ... NHL playing their game and standing for both National Anthems.
Many of these players come from countries that were under Communist rule and are loving their freedoms here .

Also ... true , more whites have been shot / injured than blacks .

I’m with you. Any sport that kneels for National Anthem is off limits for me.

No one cares hopefully anymore !
Used to like college football but now don’t care. Listening to snowflakes like LeBron James made it easy! Get rid of your sports package
