My bad on number 1. I hadn't seen that. Shoulda done my homework. For number 2, I think protocol for handling officers after a shooting should involve a call to a far senior officer and the shooter should be detained until cleared. Of course, that clearance can be quick when the officer shoots...

I don't necessarily think it's unlikely that she pointed the gun at the cop. If they found a gun in the room, it seems probable that she had it on her. However: 1. Why is that info being released? Why did they release the information about the gun in the house in the first place when there was...

So you're just kinda guessing? That's fine, btw. I just wanna understand where this assertion is coming from.

Do you say this due to your extensive experience working in national news production? Or are you just kinda guessing?

Saying that certain people have a "slave owner mentality" is not the same as saying they are slaving owners or that working for them is like being a slave. You said that people with power generally think lile sociopaths. You don't think that mode of thinking has any overlap with that of a slave...

His Chief of police said that even if the dude didn't resign, he woulda been fired for breaching protocol in multiple ways. The 911 audio was posted earlier in the thread that clarifies it was a wellness check.

Lol, well I guess these tactics aren't so old. The cop said it so it must be true. I don't need evidence. Weird that his boss had him resign when it sounds like the dude did everything right.

Ah, okay. Thanks. This is still pretty consistent with what I was saying. Dude doesn't follow foreign affairs. He doesn't really know what's going on. In this 2008 incident, he said he didn't know enough to weign in. Everyone got mad, so he did his research and took a stance when he understood...

Did you read this article? It specifically says that LeBron was one of two people on the entire team that refused to participate in condemning the situation. Were you using this as evidence against my position or for it?

When I addressed you directly, you ran and left better men to argue your point. Glad you found the balls to come back.

See, I didn't know he's been vocal about international issues before. I've asked for evidence of that several times in this thread and outside of quoting MLK, I haven't seen anything. He's always seemed hyperfocused on inner city black communities first, black America in general second, and...

MLK himself didn't fight injustice everywhere, lol. He did nothing for LGBT rights in his own country, much less globally. Does that make him a hypocrite? Incorrect. They are often given legitimacy because they have seen behind the curtain. America is a game and they have figured it out, to...

This is such a strange line of reasoning. He's quoting MLK, who didn't fight injustice everywhere, so he himself is a hypocrite for not fighting injustice everywhere. Guys, we're all adults here. LeBron isn't a super hero. He's a kid from the hood that has, all things considered, done very well...

The NBA does business everywhere. China is just a huge market. It's not just the NBA or Blizzard. EVERY major American company does this. Hollywood movies create entirely different scenes exclusively for Chinese theaters. This is global capitalism. For most of last century, companies did the...

Michael Jordan took the path of least resistance and most money. LeBron has actually shouldered a lot of unnecessary burden.

Okay. But is every individual supposed to care about everything? Violent crime happens in America, but it's way worse in Honduras. Should police officers in America all issue statements on violence in Honduras? Of course not. They don't give a fuck about Honduras. They care about their own...

What if he only cares about human rights in America? Is that not allowed?

Not just LeBron. Me too. My company does dealings with China. Does yours? Were any of your clothes made in China? How many hundreds of millions of Americans benefit from China's practices? None of us are doing anything about it. None of our major American companies are doing anything about it...

I agree that free speech isn't the main topic here. I only mentioned it again because @jamesmiller14 implied that I was being dishonest. You're not at fault here.

You could just admit you misread. It sounds like someone in another thread told you not to care about HK. But why would I tell you not to care about HK when I myself care about HK? That doesn't make sense. In fact, my whole argument in this thread is that people, including basketball players...
