Budfox88 come on man this is used to be a pretty friendly board to post on so no need for the personal attacks about my youth, political disposition, or sanity. Lets just keep this topic on the facts.

What happened a ref was hit by two players. you feel that this is a criminal offense. I for one, could see this as more blatant than any I’ve seen but would have a hard time believing hitting a referee is unprecedented in sports.

Secondly the assertion about the police is your opinion that I obviously do not share. The US is on pace for 36 non-accidental, firearm-related police fatalities in 2015, which would be the lowest total in 25 years, aside from 2013. Feel free to fact check.

Police fatalities by year
– 2009 – 62
– 2010 – 285
– 2011 – 166
– 2012 – 602
– 2013 – 337
– 2014 – 623
– 2015 – 350 (ytd)

I bring these numbers up to point out that the fear of the police is very real. I’m also aware that police do die in the line of duty and they are in very real peril at every traffic stop and response to a phone call that may have been one of mine. While many perpetrators do deserve / ask for what happens to them, many police are also out of control without real fear of reprimand in this day and age. Even though I disagree with your assertions that we should have nothing but the utmost respect for all police when know that not all police are good, I don’t see a need to disrespect your point of view although it differs from mine.

By the way lets get back sports lol
