Police presents at upcoming D2 Football Games?

[SW_Mustang]

Earlier we were told that "Defunding the police means no more military equipment, not taking police off the streets." It's just not the case. Here's another opinion or intention or something semantically similar.

Do we really believe they're going to pull police off the streets in every major US city?

[Horror Child]

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.

Having a condition that affects a person's hands or eyesight to the point where the person can't type on a phone isn't exactly laziness.

I'm just giving you a different perspective. I don't know about most of the members here, but that is a reason why people use voice-to-text.

Gotcha. Thanks for the perspective! It also occurs to me that a voice-to-text app would be full of potential spelling landmines...Gotta love the English language sometimes!!!

So, laziness is the issue?!?!

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.

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 exactly what is being said.

Yes, We Mean Literally Abolish the Police

It is just one opinion.

Defunding the police means no more military equipment, not taking police off the streets. Police departments have received or purchased 7.2 billion dollars worth of military equipment over the past of couple of decades. Reports indicated between January and March this year police departments received 30 mine resistant vehicles worth about $700,000 each and even pouches to carry grenades, according to Pentagon disclosures on the property transfer program

That's not exactly what is being said.

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.

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

Defund the Grammar Police!

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!!!

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.

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.
