They could have just not let him go his vehicle. They just pointed a gun at him, let him walk to his car, and then shot him. 
 

How about trying to apprehend him? They had plenty of time.

Just pointing out multiple people in this situation could be wrong. The police could’ve handled it way better than what they did in apprehending him. Shooting him in the back seven times is absolutely ridiculous. No need for 7 shots to a man’s back whatsoever. 

However Blake could’ve also handled the situation better by listening to the police instructions and not doing what he felt like doing.

There is a world where both of them are in the wrong. Make the argument one is much worse then the other sure. However one doesn’t mean either was right.

Dillard was getting man handled by backup defensive ends in practice.  He is obviously not the answer at left tackle.

Philadelphia is starting limited capacity indoor dining in early September. You can get haircuts in Philly. Movie theaters are slowly re-opening at limited capacity. You can gather together on airplanes. You can gather in the streets by the thousands chanting political messages shoulder to shoulder.

But you can't fill an 80,000 seat outdoor stadium at 20-25% with mandatory masks and social distancing.

Makes sense.

No, they should create a fan bubble in the parking lot for full capacity.  That's the best solution.

Those sound like common sense gun laws😉

For the most part gun owners like greend favor background checks, reasonable waiting periods, and gun safety habits.  Those aren’t the people responsible for most gun violence. Heck, the mayor of Kansas City said he would welcome the Feds assistance in battling illegal guns.

I agree it's on parenting.  Also not saying that people are trying to reenact GTA but the destruction I'm seeing with all of this looting and rioting makes me think that some folks think it's OK to destroy whatever they like with no consequences.  

They are destroying things specifically because it’s not okay to do so. I’m not saying I agree with it, but it is a form of protest.

I'm not a cop but I'll agree to disagree on this one.

What if Blake got in to his car and had a gun, turned it on the police and killed 2 police officers?  What if he wasn't stable and he fired off on the kids in spite of the woman who called the police on him?  What if he killed himself?  

The police have seconds to make a decision.  They tasered him.  it didn't work.  He had a knife and was a threat with that.  They had to do something.  I'm glad I wasn't in their shoes but what would the right action have been?  I'll also keep saying it, Blake is still alive even though he is paralyzed from the waist down.

Without delving too far into the weeds, I’m confident in saying that the officer didn’t need to put seven bullets into his back to subdue him.

Noooooooo. They knew they were going to lose money out of their own pocket and if they didn’t go back and play and finish the season that will reflect in their bank accounts. That’s what this comes down to. It’s the almighty dollar speaking.

also feels like the Larry O’Brien trophy is more important to some of these players. 

and I was more than fine if they wanted to "boycott” but do it for the rest of the season and make an actual statement where you are sacrificing something to get change. Instead you basically just told me you protested for a day or two and called a postponement. They really didn’t sacrifice much because they are still going to play those games with next to nothing changed a couple days later. They brought light to the issue which had been brought to light prior to them doing anything and all over the news. Sorry a boycott isn’t a 24 hour thing and then go back to what you were doing. That’s called virtual signaling and what protestors who claim they went to the protest then say well i did my job. 

the other thing is a reasonable voice in Jaylen Brown asked them a tough question. He said "If we do this, how many of you are going to be in the trenches making change? Or are you going to go home and relax with your families?"

Bet they got unfomfortable real quick trying to answer that question.

We need to be offering some of our older parents lessons on the internet in general. There are so many ways to monitor behavior and restrict access to children that they probably have no idea about. 

Honestly social media is worse then a lot of the games. It’s basically a cesspool. At this point the cat is out of the bag and we know have even more apps tied to social media that has allowed for for lack of better words craziness

Some said news today in my emails from the Eagles ticket office 😞

 

Over the last few months, we have been working closely with state and local government agencies, public health experts, and league officials to develop health and safety protocols as we prepare for the 2020 season. As part of this planning, we discussed a variety of scenarios around fan attendance at Lincoln Financial Field. Our conversations have been very productive and everyone involved understands how important you are to the organization, to our players and to the overall gameday experience. However, due to the ongoing health crisis, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and City of Philadelphia have communicated to us that hosting fans at the stadium will not be permitted until further notice.

Everyone associated with this process recognizes that this was a very difficult decision and while we are all disappointed in this outcome, the health and safety of our players, staff, fans and community remains our top priority during this time. We respect and support the decision and we will continue our conversations with the Governor’s office and the City of Philadelphia as the season progresses.

Previously, you were given an option to receive a refund for any games for the 2020 NFL Season not played or hosted without fans.  If you selected this option, we will process a full refund to your original method of payment for any remaining balance paid toward the 2020 season.  If you elected to receive a credit, we will keep the money paid as a credit on your account, which will be applied to ticket purchases for future events and games at Lincoln Financial Field. 

If fans are permitted for Eagles games at Lincoln Financial Field later this season, we will communicate additional information about options to purchase tickets for those games. 

We understand this is a challenging time for everyone and appreciate your patience and flexibility over the past few months.  We look forward to the team getting back on the field in just a few short weeks and cannot wait to see you again in person at Lincoln Financial Field in the future!

For any questions or concerns, please contact our Season Ticket Member Services Team at 215-463-5500 or STM@philadelphiaeagles.com.

Makes sense.

I think it is the massing with ingress and egress that causes concern.  I see that as the biggest challenge to large events.

We for whatever reason refuse to do that with politicians or cops or other authority figures. I’ll be damned if I can understand that.

Yeah. They can see everything their child is doing if they choose to do so on their network. Now if you give a kid a phone there are ways to monitor app downloads and purchases but it becomes harder when he’s using mobile data. Key logging is a thing, but your kid will hate you if they found out lol.

Not unless school districts don't want parents to monitor what their kids are doing.

They should be under fire for requesting that. A parent has every right to know what‘s going on in their kid’s life.

I agree and said that yesterday.  Again, I've never been in that situation.  Blake is still alive however.  Maybe we can get his side of the story one of these days.  Ask him why he ignored the police, why he wrestled with them, fought through a taser and continued to walk away from them.

I think we should hold people in general To a higher standard then what we do.

also it’s not could he have listened? He should have listened. This would be like a judge telling you not to do something that’s part of your probation and then you do it anyways.  You would listen to the judge right? because of fear if you did not you would go to jail. It’s not a question of could, he it is he should have. 

that said, it does not excuse the cops from shooting him seven times in the back. Nowhere in did I say they were right to shoot him in the back 7 times. Not at all. They should face consequences for seven shots to his back. That’s beyond ridiculous they fired at him 7 times in the back. Just like I think he deserves to face the consequences of the third-degree sexual assault that the warrant was out for.

Dude probably took 7 shots cause he doesn't go down easy if they tased him and multiple officers couldn't bring him down physically.

Will those officers be disciplined though? Killing someone is not something that can be reversed.

Problem like you said before most parents who are older have no clue how to monitor it and kids are smart enough nowadays to figure out a way to disable or maneuver around it
