    I tend to believe it's because people use the voice recognition software on phones and tablets and don't speak clearly rather than assuming everyone who messes up flunked English classes.

      Bingo! However we really need members in good standings of the spelling patrol covering spell-check mistakes. Gives them a chance to earn another sticker for their spelling patrol badge. A nice pat on the back is also in order.

        The police do not purchase excess military equipment, it is transfered to them free of charge under the 1033 program. Yea...That MRAP may have cost $700K when the military purchased it, but the cost to the local police department that aquires it under the 1033 program is zero. FYI, the most common items sent to police departments are cold weather clothing, sand bags, medical supplies, sleeping bags, flashlights and electrical wiring.

        Defunding mean exactly what it sounds like it means. Taking the current police budget, and reducing it by a signifigant amount if not eliminate it completely.

          Seriously, I'm with Mustang - I just don't get the fear-mongering here.
          This week alone I've read on this board:

          -Coronavirus is going to be the end of sports
          -Minneapolis riots are going to be the end of sports
          -Lack of testosterone and muscle mass is going to be the end of sports (aka "kids these days")
          -Defunding the police is going to be the end of sports
          -Kneeling for the national anthem is going to be the end of sports

          That mentality doesn't make sense to me personally, but to each their own I suppose. I think it's a little dramatic to be honest. If sports die out, it's because we probably got nailed by an asteroid or something.

            I've never called out anyone's grammar in any message board. However, considering the topic and the push for funds to go back to a variety of areas including education (which has been defunded over the last couple decades) it was funny and ironic.

            Just having some fun!

                I saw the title pop up when I logged into the website. Wasn't sure if the police was being honored with gifts for their service or if it meant working the games. This was a good laugh I needed.

                  A couple of things in particular could really negatively effect college football and basketball this year.

                  1. COVID-19 (especially if we see an uptick in cases)

                  2. Cities and towns with colleges that try and quickly jump on board in defunding their police to the point that there's not enough on-duty or off-duty officers to maintain civil peace and security at games. The ramifications could be huge and other options would not be nearly effective or simply wouldn't work. Based on past problems and fights, in a lot of high school games in NC with (with police security) you have to go through medal detectors just to get through the gates or doors.

                    Usually when you think of Police Presents you mean a ticket. In that cents I've received several "presents". I remember coming back from a game up in Mars Hill several years back and got a present from a NC Highway patrolman that I went to Church with. He laughed the whole time he was righting out my ticket.

                      That would be a step too far! I mean, were would we be if we couldn't dismiss someones point by criticizing his or her grammar and/or spelling!!!

                        I just want to know did your team win or loose the game?

                          That's not exactly what is being said.

                          Yes, We Mean Literally Abolish the Police

                            It is just one opinion.

                              Here's another "opinion". It just happens to be that of the president of Minneapolis City Council.

                              Yes. We are going to dismantle the Minneapolis Police Department and replace it with a transformative new model of public safety.

                                That's not an opinion. It's their intention. And they are in a position to act on it.

                                You and I can express our thoughts on the matter, but we don't have any direct effect on the outcome. Thus our opinion.
