    Sadly, this is the type of shit that could undo the Jax tradition of the WLOCP (eg--why we're not even supposed to refer to it as the WLOCP anymore--which, imho, is completely counter productive, since "cocktail party" contemplstes and conjurs up something a tad more civilized and friendly, than it sometimes actually is).

    I thought this as well. This could definitely be used by UGA officials to try to get the game out of Jax.

    I think the two years it's away from Jax will be interesting. If the Atlanta/Tampa situation works well, I could see UGA admin really pushing to either go regular home/home or keep the Atlanta/Tampa setup.

    Of course that messes up a big reason for the game being in Jax. We all know Athens really isn't centrally located in Georgia. Heck Athens is more convenient to a lot of North Carolina and South Carolina than it is to the southern part of Georgia. The whole point of the Jax game was to give the UGA fans in South Georgia a game they didn't have to travel 3, 4, 5 hours to get to. Especially since Atlanta now controls Georgia just like Chicago controls Illinois. You think some UGA fans in South Georgia would be pretty p*ssed that UGA is trying to essentially give them the middle finger.

    But again I could definitely see these incidents being more evidence UGA can use to get the game out of Jax.

    Show me the footage of what happened prior to the officers getting there. Sorry, I’m not falling for the fake news leftist woke media who paints police as villians. 99.9% of them are good, hardworking people. My guy Donald Trump said they deserve immunity and I agree with him. Just comply and you won’t have a problem. Make America Great Again! #BlueLivesMatter

    Who said anything about politics?

    Is your defense for the police continuing to beat the shit out of the arrestees, that they are MAGA[ts], and therefore any and all beatings are therefore justified???? (I'd be keeping one eye open as to precedent and cutting both ways in that sense...).

    But hey, maybe I'm wrong... maybe it's just me.. but I would not want to make that argument for the po po b4 a jury.

    Police have a tough job. 99% of them are great people. Just comply and you won’t get beat up.

    Sure. Agree. But that's a non sequitor that continues to avoid the actual issue to wit: police officer(s), under color of law, continuing to beat the shit out of subjects already restrained.

    Let’s look at the bright side. At least they were only beaten up and not shot and killed.

    Could we just blame it on Jacksonville without all the other political nonsense.

    Sure to follow. Maybe Jax population and tax base is large enough to absorb the hit without too much pain. In my dinky town my property taxes increased $400/yr for the next decade to pay for malfeasance by a public agency that occurred before i even lived here. And that only covers half of the settlement the state and insurance didn’t cover.

    I am just saying the St. Johns river doesn’t flow north only because Georgia sucks. Jax sucks too.

    Dude, if all those things happened with those guys being pricks, they still broke SOP. Those guys were way over the top. The mayor said the videos were disturbing and don’t represent the way JSO are trained. You might think that was fine but the old man could have never been a threat and in the good ole boy was pounded it went from may i see your ticket to cuffs to the mouth. Pretty amazing what you think is okay.

    Regardless, if actual officers, those POSs are new career bound and it won’t be in the securital arts. Will owe money and I won’t even feel a little bad for them. The amount of sympathy they would get from me ended on punch 47 from each pummeling.’there was two of them! Two times man.

    There is no race angle in it. You just put it there.

    Yeah the biggest problem with all this is that the taxpayers are on the hook and not the officers or the unions or anybody who would actually want to institute change.

    The best solution I ever heard to this was that officer should be forced to carry their own insurance and thus if they have too many incidents they become uninsurable

    Do you just feel comfortable being a racist? I hope you stow that when you’re just speaking to people that can’t just pop you in the head and leave your hatred in the open. I’m going with keyboard tough.

    You realize Dugger might follow in your footsteps. Sad.
