Of course they aren’t, but that’s why you have your day in court as opposed to resisting and holding court on the street. The moment you do that it creates an entire different situation because the cops has a gun and is responsible for it.

Cops still have a right to protect themselves. If you are fighting with them, who’s to say you aren’t going for a gun when you’re opening your car door and reaching inside?

The beatings will continue until morale improves.

98% of people in this country if they called their employer right now and said "I'm not going to work tomorrow because I'm protesting something that happened in the world that I don't agree with" would get reprimanded. This is not planned time off. This is like, nope. I'm not working. You can't make me.

As normal, celebrities and athletes don't have to live in the same world that the rest of us do as a result of the great exceptions they have that are routinely made for them. What a life.

Mariners aren't playing now.

status of the Royals and Cards?

They're the .0001% for the level of what they do. If you were that level of what you do, I'm guessing you'd have different rules too. Anyone that compares regular jobs to athletics needs to stop because it's not the same.

Oh bullshit. Where the hell do you work that requires you to give reasoning for a day off?

You are ****ing STUPID. Comparing this to pto? god your ****ing dumb. Players get a whole ****ing offseason. Let's not act like someone is calling in sick. They are flat out refusing to do their job because they would rather support criminals.

So games are getting canceled because players are pissed because Cops shot a guy that was going for a knife? Yeah...that's gonna go over well

Not just criminals. Pedophiles.

These players are living in a bubble because they get paid millions of $'s. Don't pretend otherwise.

The fact they are sitting down because a criminal who was going for a knife was shot says more about these athletes than it does the cops.

It disgusts me the anti-cop attitude going on in this country right now. These men and women risk their lives on a daily basis to protect us from vicious criminals.

Since this anti-cop attitude has started to spread throughout the country crime, in particular shootings, are up big time.

When the NBA quit last time, the whole country went into a lockdown and everything canceled within 48 hours.
