Btw
He's hopeless as a lone front man
Can't hold the ball up, can't link the play, immobile
He looked hopeless in the role we play
He's a beenpole poacher, a decent one, with sheff u playing two up and the non goalscoring mcgoldrick doing all the hard work
This is hopefully a godsend and allow dykes, who looks will fit our system, to bed in before the big game in Oct

Should Scotland play the five day rule card through this, they should but they won’t .
The 5 day rule
He's playing even before the game he's pulled out for cause he was injured
He should simply never be called up again
International career over before it ever really began, his choice

Seems the FBI use different definitions of who counts as a law enforcement officer, this one counts it as 687000 and rising in 2018. The problem is there are so many separate policing bodies in the US. And the population figure I get is 328 million, so actually one cop for 477 people. But then they have another 450,000 in the National Guard to back them up, which would give a figure of one cop for every 288 citizens.

The national guard is the same as the TA
Unless you're going to count the TA as police here?

The US figure may be lower - https://ucr.fbi.gov/leoka/2018/topic-pages/tables/table-85.xls
So 550,000 police for 250 million = 1 cop for every 454 people compared to 1 for every 319 in Scotland.
The last record I can find of a police officer being violently killed in Scotland is 1994

fair do's. I thought you were implying it wasn't, was wrong.
In Canada 3 percent of the population, native indigenous peoples, make up 20 percent of the prison population
Are indigenous peoples inherently criminal, no
Why are tonnes of them in prison. Cause they're kind of fucked and similar to the Australian aboriginal people subject to some of saddest stories about
Will the police go onto reservations primed for discovering criminality far more than any other areas, undoubtedly and they'd be right
It's the same process in the states with black areas but over the border everyone is armed

Well, as a wee thought experiment imagine if instead of there being black and white people in the USA there were just people who could or could not pronounce the word 'nuclear' correctly. Imagine that people who said 'nucular' were the ones involved in more crime - do you think the police would shoot them in the same sort of numbers?
Is widespread gun ownership a factor in how many police are shot? Absolutely. Are black people dispoportionate assailants in these cases? Yes. Does this mean there's something intrinsic to black people that makes them do this more than white people? Absolutely not.
Who said that there was
The reasons why an area's population had higher crime would be deep seated long running socioeconomic
But it could explain the police's disproportionate behaviour in those areas

This doesn’t explain why black civilians are so much more likely to be shot though.
I imagine because from a population of 10 percent make up 50 percent of the prison population and from a population of 10 percent black on black murders make up 40 percent of the murder statistics
So the police are racially profiling and are even more jumpy and trigger happy than normal when in black areas

Why did that kid with the assault rifle not get shot in Wisconsin?
Good point I would have expected him to be gunned down on sight

The police being excused for being the judge, jury and executioner by the usual suspects on this thread. The lack of humanity is pathetic.
Are they really
Are they not reacting violently, very violently, fatally... before any violence can be perpetrated on them
Is it not just the whole country is so violent and gun obsessed

There are just under 700,000 police officers in America, it's not that dangerous. I agree about the guns though.
Didn't know that
We have 17000
That would make it at least twice as likely to be violently killed on duty than in UK, with gun culture not surprising
The fact they have to employ 700,000 to police a population of 320m against our 17,000 for 60m is scary

A Christian family values group has raised almost $100,000 for the 17 year old who carried an illegal weapon across state lines and then shot 2 people. They have still to start a fundraiser for the father of 3 who was shot 7 times in the back and is crippled in hospital.
The Atlanta couple appearing on the convention is very concerning too

In this instance, being black meant he was 250% (rising to 600% in some areas) more likely to be shot than if he had been white.
Not being involved in law enforcement, I'm maybe getting this all wrong but if I'd been one of the two policemen, and I wanted to arrest that guy, then at some point in the ten seconds between him calmly walking from one side of his car to the other I'd have tried to arrest him. This may have taken the form of putting handcuffs on him. Maybe hitting him with my night stick, maybe pepper spraying him. Letting him get up, spend 10 seconds sauntering around his car then running up and shooting him seven times in the back just wouldn't have occurred to me. I suppose that's what separates these highly trained guys from the rest of us.
The stat I'm sure is true
But also is, I think, that a population of 10 percent make up 50 percent of the prison population
So when entering black areas I imagine police are very jumpy/trigger happy, for fear of getting gunned down themselves?
There's been something like 50 police violently killed on duty this year, whereas here in recent several years I can only remember the guy got dragged by the quad bike thief's
Really most to blame, again, is America's gun culture's effects

Aye.
To save anyone watching the video and fucking up their YouTube algorithm, its pretty much 'if you can't do the time, don't do the crime'
With the 'crime' being a black man with a criminal record and the 'time' being shot 20 times in the back.
In America, if you fight with the police
Then get up and go to your car
You will be shot

Seriously would not like to think she took her own life with total disregard for her baby. Surely if she was contemplating that she would have left the baby with the father.
It's horrible but far more likely afraid

I’m surprised that you’re surprised the first test event in Scotland during a global pandemic wasn’t normal.
What was your ‘mate’ expecting? A pint at his seat, the pie stall open, and the ability to give a gammy to one of his fellow egg chasers every time a try was scored?
Why would anyone want to go to something like that

There's been no official confirmation or even hints in the media that she starved to death. People are just assuming that because the baby is malnourished.
It's an absurd assumption
Far more likely she took her own life
The impact of governmental decisions around asylum seekers leading to this of course requires, well, examining, don't know the words
Why would you not let someone who wants to work, work
That's what we need, hard working people who are going to contribute to society

Cooper looked alright in the Championship. I fear for him a bit in the English Premier league as I don't think he's good enough to step up. Would love to be proven wrong mind.
Caulker had a good long spell as a decent quality Premier League centre back. He's not at that level now but he's got more higher level experience than any of our other options and if he can find anything like his best form then we should be considering him. He's got a physical presence without being lumbering as well.
Thankfully we're playing Israel
