Teenage athletes in Texas may face charges after tackling an official.
So what should happen to cops (e.g., real life officials) who tackle an athlete?

There seems to be a really bad cultural problem at the NYPD when it comes to use of force.Report
Oh silly, OF COURSE IT’S DIFFERENT.
One’s white and the other isn’t.Report
While I’m sure race factored into what happened to Blake, my real point here was to look at how kids tackling an adult from behind is criminal but cops — who surely should know better than kids, right??? — tackling an adult from behind is… okay? I can’t square that circle.Report
Cops are not kids. They are the enforcers of law. Just like the Praetorian guard. ANY appearance or failure to immediately comply/supplicate yourself is grounds for execution.
I’d think you’d understand this by now..Report
A few bad apples.Report
They WERE after an identity thief…are we SURE this is ‘James Blake’? I thought he was a musician!Report
There was an awkward moment in the midst of the arrest during which Blake pealed his face off and revealed himself to be Ethan Hunt.Report
It’s being reported that Blake said some anti-police statements prior to being tackled.Report
No it’s not.Report
