So when a terrorist shoots up a movie theater of "Whites only" does Maddon have to call Rizzo and Bryant into his office to tell them that terrorism is bad?

wouldn't that be an instance of terrorism being good? oh wait, i guess they could be LGBT so it could be bad. nevermind.

That's my point. As Goff would say, Heyward and Fowler are GROWN ASS MEN. Why do they need Joe Maddon to talk to them about cop killings? What the fuck could he possibly say to them about it? That it's bad and wrong?

So the latter. "No, you fools, I don't mean skin black, I mean daaaaamn brotha black" was some quality Senoring.

I mean does Mitch Rosen call Larry and Goff into his office to discuss the cop killings?

i went looking for this on the score website....if the interview happened in hour 2, then they chose not to post it. nowhere to be found.

So... did Goff mention anything about children being shot in Chicago? What about having a talk with your black son when he's approached by other male blacks threatening to shoot him? So much bullshit from this guy.

Racist.

It aint the six minutes. Its what happens in those six minutes.

Do you think Maddon is walking around Chicago this morning looking for police officers to talk to about the incidents in Dallas last night?

No. He has no idea what happened in Dallas.

The first time Goff went into this On Thursday was fine - well thought , gave his perspective, and he made his point ( the love it's getting form social media is a bit odd, but to each his own).

But once again the Goff overload - he went into it again at 11( almost 10 minutes worth, and then the Maddon interview. He simply can't make a point, and move on. Everyone at the station seems to suffer from the Bernstein complex - take a subject and absolutely beat it to death - especially if it is a non sports topic.

I get the outrage and caring on the issue - but it seemed that Goff was getting a lot of love form his partner and his management in that first hour and juts had to continue on.

Unless you are going to devote a whole show to it, and really be the first example of a public debate truly highlighting all the myriad factors, over decades, on how we get to a place like this, at a point in time when saying most things gets you labeled as a racist or an apologist; then what is the point of the eleven minute speech, outside of feeling a need to be on the record?

Humanity shows a spectacular inability to highlight these issues in an honest manner, and then put them into proper context. This problem exists with almost every major issue facing the country, and the world. And media certainly is not helping. But if you know a CPD officer you will know that some of the people are working in districts where they feel people have lost their humanity, and it is awfully hard to keep theirs over years of seeing the worst from people. The domestic calls are off the charts in these areas. The violence against animals cases are off the charts in these areas. We all know about the shots fired calls. Listen to a scanner on a weekend night. It's fucking insanity. I have no idea how anyone working those streets could get out of bed and go into work. Personally, I'd rather be in Iraq during the height of the insurgency and drive around as IED and ambush bait, than be a cop in a city with a gun problem that is driving insane levels of black on black violence.

This isnt about drug spots anymore. This is twitter beefs and young kids wanting to earn an NBA nickname for being a shooter. For dropping the most bodies. It's utter insanity. A few hundred young people driving all of this, sheltered by a community of family and neighbors who are either totally complicit, or scared to say anything. And cops are outgunned, outmaneuvered, feel they get no help and no respect, and now they fear putting their hands on people.

It might as well be the insurgency in Afghanistan.

Very well said. It is not easy. I've never been to war but I can't imagine what we face is any better.

Like you said, it's not so much gang bangers just shooting each other. It's the unbelievable disrespect for all things. Throwing your trash on the ground, because someone else will pick it up right? Hitting dogs, not feeding dogs, tying up dogs for days. Mothers who pull their young children's arms and say things like, "you stupid mother fucker!" Heaven forbid you as an officer scold them, "they ain't your kid! Mind your business!" Stealing the same flat screen from each other, selling drugs to your own neighbors. The list of horrible things that just make zero sense and leaving you with such an empty feeling. It is impossible to truly describe it to people. You have to witness it. Not just one day, but for years and years of seeing it.

It's just sad man.

A wise man once asked us, "Why don't they just move?"
