Can we all pause for a bit to appreciate that there's a guy named LAWLESS stanning for cops.
BI, Zion, and CJ had a net rating of +3 when on the court together. BI and Zion had a +13.4, BI and CJ had a +13.2, Zion and CJ was just +5.4.
BI and Zion worked. BI and CJ worked. It was CJ and Zion and all three together that didn't work.
Are we just gonna ignore the cops attacking the camera guy at the end that wasn't doing anything but filming?
Because the cop didn't attack him. The first cop kept was screaming at the guy to back up because he was inching closer to the scene to film it as the police were trying to cuff Jaxson. Then, two backs up cops (who were called for assistance) arrived at the scene running full speed to assist. The guy filming is standing right in front of the doorway to the house where the arrest is taking place. He got pushed aside by one of the cops. No attack occurred.
Clearly, there is a way to spin it if people are portraying THAT as an "attack" of the camera guy. He got pushed aside and dropped his phone because he was blocking the officers' path. The man was filming directly in front of the entrance to the house where the arrest was taking place. And, while you're allowed to film the police, you absolutely cannot obstruct police activity while doing so.
The cop wasn't pass the camera man. He was clearly extending his arm outward to push the guy aside before any contact was made and while still in full view of the camera. You can easily see both the cop's face and extended palm before contact is made. Kinda impossible to get that shot if the cop "was already passing the guy."
You're way too comfortable making blanket assumptions about people you don't know. Saying that I'm "stanning" for the cops because I said I'd wait for the body cam footage before casting judgment. Or, betting that I'd justify police misconduct because I don't believe the camera man was "attacked." You don't know me, but you assume the most negative portrayal of my views. I thought you were supposed to be a "Snarky Optimistic Guy." Lighten up.
.......he even screams "turn it off"......like.....not "get out of the way"........but "turn it off".......
Why do you have 7 cops there for a domestic dispute between two people? Quit making excuses for these scary crooked cops
I'm a grinder
Sounds like it could be "turn around" to me, but fair enough. I won't dispute that. However, what does that prove? As I said before, you don't have the right to obstruct police activity while filming. If you're standing a few feet away from an active arrest and cops have to maneuver around you to get to the scene, that certainly qualifies.
So, what's more likely then?
1) The cop was trying to make sure there was no video of the arrest knowing that each of them were wearing body cams that could be subpoenaed? Or,
2) That the cop was trying to get the camera man to put down the phone, realize that he's in the way of an active arrest, and immediately get him the heck out of there?
Hope Hayes is ok. He was making great progress. Hope he gets to have a normal season

The police union sent a 4 page letter to Adam Silver and Gayle Benson urging them to punish Jaxson. One of the things they want him punished for is using the N-Word... https://t.co/f3HDIKMBgg pic.twitter.com/HAUDvYbJ8u

At this point, a letter from the police union would likely only increase the chance that Hayes gets nothing in the form of punishment. Can you imagine the blowback by players league-wide if the NBA were to institute a punishment based on a statement from the LAPD Police Union?

I don't get the strategy at all. Why would they care what the NBA does? That's not their job.
