Just like you "imagined" in your OP that he was afraid of fans. If you feel that's the case, you should be directing your disdain to THOSE fans. You people are totally misguided, per usual.

This is what I love about social media. From the president on down, it gives the idiots a platform from which to out themselves. And they do it in such a way that it will follow them for the rest of their lives. It's actually a very useful tool in that regard.

Typical... we want equal treatment by law enforcement and you equate that to segregation.

What's your position on what he said?
Why should I dignify a thread begun as a lie with an opinion? So yeah, the lie matters.

Obviously you're trying to pick a fight with me and I try not to engage in a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent.

You guys are trying to make this into a "job loss" situation it isn't. There's no union involved, no loss of benefits, he'll still get a small pension if Cecil Township participates in that program when he turns 62. The guy will continue to respond to incidents, if he has a seat on the department's board of directors he'll remain in that. If he's a training officer he'll continue in that. In three or four years he'll be Chief again.

Correct. We believed these thugs deserved a chance to redeem themselves through sports. But instead, they feel qualified to lecture us on social justice and ethics.

No sale. We're done. They can go play in empty stadiums for all we care. Then, when the league goes out of business, they can go back to,their true professions: muggings, drug dealing, and domestic abuse.
