Yes, a lot of what police do anticipates and prevents. The guy had just fought with them, punched them, and stole and pointed and fired a taser at them. You are damn straight there was a component of preventing him from doing the same, or worse, in the near future.

I hope this is your usual pot stirring and not SOP for police. If SOP, let's defund, dismantle and disintegrate ASAP.

This thread has taught me a lot about volnation.com. Some of you, who I think are a vocal minority, only care about the UTAD as long as these athletes walk a strict line and align themselves with the way you think. You don’t really care about their feelings thoughts or them as people. Well I am glad to see that they don’t care anymore about what you think of them. You all can disagree with the Black Jersey supporting Black Lives Matter but it is still going to happen. Kick, scream belly ache all you want to, it won’t change the fact that this team has found it’s voice and Coach Pruitt is allowing them to express it, freely and openly. I absolutely love it! So get on board or go kick rocks! Goodnight and Go Vols!

And you care about UT sports more than the actual lives of these young men. Otherwise you wouldnt be a proponent of this disservice to them.

It’s embarrassing we have so many white guilt brainwashed idiots. The night they pull this crap I will donate to a blue lives matter group in the name of the white guilt coaches and brainwashed players

I need to read more, but from what I've read so far, there is a lot of misinformation out there about BLM.

It’s right on their website that they want to defund police, legalize sex work and destroy the notion of the western-prescribed family unit. What misinformation are you referring to? There is no question they are a radical political group. And they seek change not through rational and reasoned debate - in fact anyone who tries to make counter arguments is deemed RACIST. They aren’t a lobby. They seek change through inciting mobs.

Be mindful, I did learn this in the process of documenting. There is a difference in "Black Lives Matter Charities, and BLM" You'll need to get clarification which they are doing. The Black lives Matter Charities have nothing to do with the "BLM" group.

They'd be served well to rename their organization.

Proof positive that the state funded university is engaging in politics?

Well that is a more complicated question. Are people affiliated with the university not supposed to speak about or support anything? Does that extend to students as well? Also seems there is some disagreement on what exactly the charity jersey thing will be supporting. Might be best to wait for further clarification from UTAD, but that's just me.

Just making the point that the mod that moved it saw it as “political” and no longer a football topic.

There are too many good and long established charities to even leave room for confusion.

I'll say this and quit. It's getting too chippy in here.

This will create a divide in the locker room. Witness Mizzou in 2015, when they went from 11-3 in '14 to 5-7 in '15. Ferguson was the catalyst, and there were credible reports of a division in the locker room. Up to that point, Mizzou had been a rising power in the SEC East. Now, no more. Yes, the HC change may have had an effect, but they had the same HC in 2015 that they had in 2014. What happened?

Now, look at Texas, Iowa...and potentially UT. Maybe more before the season starts, or is over.

Whether this ends up being a crack in the driveway, or a serious fault in the foundation remains to be seen, but as we all know, a house divided against itself cannot stand, and this will divide the House of UT...including the football team. Heck, just look here. We came in here united as UT fans, and now it's the Hatfields and McCoys, SEC-style.

I hope I'm wrong. I fear I'm not. I think UT Football was on the brink of doing great things again.

I look forward to saying "Go Vols" again. But for now, I'm waiting to see what the Vols stand for.

Interesting you bring this up. Just the other day, I spent some time researching this very topic in regards to leadership in cities with severe social economic issues. It was an attempt at trying to determine if political leadership might/could have anything to do with what is going on in some of these communities. Now this was only in regards to the "big" cities we're seeing so much turmoil in. But these dates are indeed accurate, folks are welcome to double check me.
Atlanta—1879
Chicago—1931
Baltimore—1967
Detroit—1962
New Orleans—1872
Pittsburgh—1934
Seattle—1946
Philadelphia—1952
Does anyone know what the year represents for each city.

It’s the year the Democrats took over the city politics in each city and never let go.

It’s called the Black Lives Matter foundation and people are donating to it by mistake. It’s some guy in California who’s collecting a bunch of money and not doing anything with it. This is not at all what Pruitt is referring to when he says they’re donating to BLM

I agree. But can we at least agree regardless of the similarity in names, a charity which actually does good work should be supported by the players, university, and fans?

BLM is all about making money. I'm sure Pruitt is doing this as a pre-emptive strike to keep these woke folks off his back

No. That is a gross overreaction. While I am not sure if I agree with the actions that are being reported will occur, I will first get the details before doing something wild like grabbing some bricks and burning down the house

Thanks for that 👍
