    The potential good news is that some of the governors and mayors that have been enabling/looking the other way/making excuses for the mostly peaceful rioters are suddenly wanting to end it (if you go to the governor's tweet, it was made yesterday afternoon, prior to last night's killing):

    I was posting many places yesterday that Biden messed up. So did the Wisconsin Governor. He is going to be one and done.

    Is the public allowed to "make mistakes"?

    What do you do for a living, does it involve life and death split second judgement and antagonists?

    Maybe they should stop being fucksticks and then protecting those fucksticks. When they fuck up stop protecting them and that shit would make a difference

    What an eloquent, clear and concise message. You must be a rocket scientist. People make mistakes, when we start prosecuting police for politicized reactions, the Marxists win.

    Probably not anyone that was going to vote for him in the first place.  All he did was call for a full and transparent investigation.

    I have absolutely zero problems with what he said.

    The cops are really horsefucking themselves lately.  It's uncanny.

    Lost the soccer moms that were on the fence.

    Someone somewhere will criticize literally anything... what's your point? What do the critics have to do with this?

    Cops are stuck between a rock and a hard place. Shit job these days and BLM is just making it worse. When cops cannot do their job or coupled with a disintegration in the quality of recruits because no one want to be a cop anymore (People Scream that cops need more training. Thirty percent have Degrees, usually Criminal Justice. Good luck getting to pay for collge for that career White flight is going to be the result, and companies are going to allow their employees to flee not just to the burbs, but to small rural town America. The large older cities are screwed.

    So now you're telling us the cops are mind readers.

    If three cops can't take down a single guy who may or may not have had a knife when he walked around the front of his minivan, those cops need to be fucking fired, and training needs to be revamped, and somebody who is confident in their abilities brought in.  Get rid of the cowardly cops.

    The van itself becomes a weapon. He could have killed his kids. He was agitated.  People drive their kids into lakes and rivers when despondent. This is policy, do not allow hostage situations.

    Isn't your call to get rid of the cowardly cops a call to defund the Police?  They have a politics group for that.

    And the punishment for being "a bad actor acting irrationally" is not public execution.

     

    But if he had killed the kids or run over an innocent bystander the police would have been criticized for allowing that to happen. The Rabble is so irrational right now it blows my mind.

    Did the cop know that when he fired 7 shots into a minivan with kids in it?

    Yes, they knew that, they had been filled in on the way to the call. in addition to the gun issue, he had some domestic violence charges pending (from the same incident as the gun in the bar).

    What reason was there to believe he was going to threaten his kids? Are the cops trained and experienced enough to make that determination?

    Cops being trained to do something doesn't make it right or morally justifiable. 

    They shot into a car full of kids.

    And cops beat their wives and kids at alarming rates. Everytime a cop is angry and going home should someone kill that cop to protect the wife?

    Now you are just trying to be incendiary. Your argument is ridiculous. 

    Cops have a tough job being made impossible by the media and the Democratic Party. That is why their suicide rates are so high. 

    What surprises me is how the Democratic Party has turned its back on the Police and Firefighter unions, and defacto the civil workers throughout most all cities and towns. This used to their base. Now they pander to Antifa radicals and BLM Marxists.

    Both Biden and the Governor of Wisconsin took the BLM line before the facts came out. BIG MISTAKE.

    I don't give a shit if he was a boy scout. That's not the standard for not being murdered by the police.

    He was not murdered, he was a bad actor acting irrationally. Looked an awful lot like a suicide by cop attempt. to m

     

    Not to mention, the guy is still alive.

     Catching up on the thread but you are saying they tased him, failed to apprehend him from the other side of the vehicle but not 1 of the 3 cops knew kids where in the car? Another check in the shitty police work column

    Had a knife also. Also, fear of his driving off with the kids in the car may have been a motive for the shooting, possibly crashing the car or driving it into Lake Michigan. Kids can become hostages in deranged peoples actions. This is akin to the shooting that happened earlier in the week when the guy tried to enter the store with a knife in his hand. The police could not allow a hostage situation to form.

    Duck!

    Plus, he had been arrested on 7/6 for pulling a gun on a guy in a bar altercation. The Clip fell out of the gun (you cannot make this shit up). He was told to leave. He left and pointed the gun again at someone in the bar through a window as he left. Probably figured that only the one bullet in the chamber would end up with him killed if he pulled the trigger. He got pulled over. The police at that time told him to stop, and he kept coming at them. He was arrested and the gun was found in the car. He was out on bail awaiting trial. Looking at 8 1/2 years.  He is no boy scout, and the police knew what was up because dispatch told them what was up on the way to the call. They knew he carried a gun in the recent past, and they knew he did not follow police directives and was violent.

  13. This is not going to be popular, but he was tased, he tore the leads off. The Police had him on the ground, and he fought his way back up. Reports are that he also had a knife. The Police can be heard yelling for him to put the knife down as he crosses the front of this car. This is why they didn't tackle him.

    We in agriculture have been watching this close. China's hog herd is something like 3x that of the US, and they've killed a third of it since August when ASF hit.

    ASF is a viral disease WHICH IS NOT CONTAGIOUS TO HUMANS. (Wait until Facebook gets ahold of that.) It's extremely virulent though. It can be spread by tainted meat, feed, poop, and equipment. Chinese hog production is a combination of modern confinement and backyard production. Households in rural and semi-urban areas have a few hogs to eat their household scraps. It's the perfect way to spread the disease.

    When the reality of all this hits, there's no way they can cover the shortfall with imports. There literally aren't enough refrigerated shipping containers to move enough frozen pork there. Let alone enough hog production off shore.


    This a graphic video, depicting how sick pigs are killed:
     

     

    You left out Ticks.  Plus, even if China has enough wherewithal to eradicate the disease in their country, they will keep getting re-infected from N. Korea, Vietnam and Burma where they do not have the public infrastructure or wealth to mount a successful eradication campaign. They have known about ASF for 100 years. Spain got it in the 1960s and it took them 35 years to eradicate it.  

  15. ASF is wreaking havoc on the swine population in China. Some estimates are that it could kill nearly 50% of the entire Chinese herd of 440 million hogs. Additonally, the virus is pernicious and will last in the environment, for decades.  If China does indeed end up losing 200 million pigs, then they will face a shortage of protein of 10 million metric tons. They simply is not enough surplus available for purchase in the rest of the world to make up the shortage. As an example, the entire USA swine output is 76 million hogs, and we are number two in world production behind China.

    This is going to affect beef, egg and chicken prices worldwide as well. 

     

    The Chinese have, or rather had, massive frozen reserves. However, those are expected to run out in the next few months. Question is, will the Chinese people be patient for a decade or even decades?

    Mike Gundy.....

    “You have to start working that now,” said Gundy. “(There will probably be) another recruiting service and office just for portal recruiting, based on high school and junior college recruiting. So we’re just going to have to play our way through it and see how it all falls. It’s new for us.”

    One gripe Oklahoma State’s CEO has is, what at least he perceives, an oversight by the council when the change was made — the rigid 25-scholarship limit per year that doesn’t account for those who may leave early or exercise their right to transfer.

    "The NCAA is going to have to adjust the rules,” said Gundy. “They’re going to have to get rid of the initials. Gonna have to go to just 85 scholarships, cause you can’t keep losing 3-4 kids a year based on the vehicle they’re using for young men to transfer. So once they wanted to put that in place, I’m good if that’s what they wanna do. But they have to adjust it along the way.

    "They got a little ahead of themselves, in my opinion. They’re in a position now where they’re gonna have to make some adjustments really fast.”

    "I have to say that I agree with Gundy on this point. Make it a rolling 85-scholly limit, and leave it up to schools as to how and when they fill that number as long as they don’t exceed it."

    The entire problem is coaches will start pushing students out the door through the portal.  This is a slippery slope. They will be like, "Hey, that should not count against our graduation rate, that guy transferred to Potawami U".  or "Hey, that guy did not lose any eligibility, it was his on choice to transfer out!"

     

    On the other hand, coaches recruiting players just so they can ride the bench to keep them out of the hands of the competition will go by the wayside.
