Well said by Faith. People need to unlearn their prejudices against cops.

Yeah, my bad on the typo, it was late. But example still applies.

Well said. It's critical for police to be held accountable, but when a person (or supposed watchdog group) goes off on almost every incident, people stop listening to that person (or group). Keep your powder dry.

No, I don't think it's relevant. I would suspect that none of the people involved with Ekakitie were involved in the 1979 shooting. Each instance where police guns are drawn is unique. There is a nearly 20 year gap between the 2 incidents; time is important when it comes to relevance. I...

Oh, gee, I feel so bad now. I'm such a callous person. Give me a break. I didn't read any other articles other than the 1 you posted, but it appears that what happened in 1997 was indeed a tragedy. But also has little or no relevance to what happened to Ekakitie.

1997? With these untrained, out of control cops in IC there surely has to be some more recent examples.

Haven't you heard? This is going to hinder our recruiting. Harbaugh is at Eno's house right now, wearing a Black Lives Matter T-shirt.

Well, let's agree to disagree then. I don't think there's going to be a large number of recruits that will feel that the Iowa City cops present any more of a threat than any other city's cops.

It's one incident, in which no one was hurt. Recruits coming from the rougher areas of Chicago, East St Louis, Dallas.... <insert any large city her>, are going to be intimidated in Iowa City?

So when exactly is it OK for the police to draw their guns? Is it always a clear cut answer? A lot more than you think, based on my conversations with my brother, who has served as a warden.

For the first 3 quarters of the games, Iowa will be a top 10 defense. In the 4th quarter, our D-line will be running on fumes and the defense will be average.

Do we really want him to become a 3pt shooter? I'd rather have him camped around the basket. By his sophomore year, he could be a monster on the offensive glass.

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I just can't place any meaning on how many turnovers a guy has in a glorified pickup game.

I don't think it's 100% clear cut. CJ has better physical talent, but that's only part of the equation. Maybe CJ made huge strides in the off-season after he was named the starter.

So if the Des Moines Register uncovered a bunch of evidence that Alfraud tried to suppress evidence or intimidate the victim in the PP case, then the current basketball team should be punished?

The Falcons' guards were terrible last year, so I think Walsh will get a pretty serious look. On the other hand, the Falcons are pretty happy with their FB (and he's cheap), so I don't think Cox has much of a chance there.

One of two things will happen. He'll start to have some success, and then jump to greener pastures (like Bruce or Majors) or he will fizzle out like McCarney or Rhoads. It's just not in the cards for any kind of on-going success there.

Not necessarily. What if the 3-point shooter is a stiff who can only get a shot off when he is wide open?

I used to work about 2 mins away from the campus. Some of the surrounding neighborhoods are a little dicey, to put it mildly.

Might he follow Pastner to GA Tech?
