I am okay with everyone on the warriors starting lineup getting some type of injury that won’t hamper their careers, but will force KD to play with four scrubs against LeBron in the finals.

The punishment he deserves imho.

In N/V defense, I think we mock pretty much everything and everyone we can. Except for LeBron, he's off limits.

He's not even remockable.

I dabbled in podcasting a loooooooooooong time ago back on the twoplustwo forums. We had a couple of quant guys that worked in the Raptors org, I think around 2010-11.

I thought they were ok. People liked my voice for some reason, but podcasts tend to be way more professionally produced now

quote:

Beginning - No sound. Officer paces back and forth. Eventually Sterling Brown walks up toward his vehicle and the officer meets him at the door. "Good evening. Have your driver's license? Back up." He puts his hand on Sterling and Sterling tells him not to touch him.

@1:00 - "Can I get another squad here? Back up!" Sterling: "For what?" Officer: "Are you obstructing me? I just told you to back up."

@1:20 - "Sterling: You touched me first." Officer: "Yeah that's right. I told you to back up. You were trying to get in the car." Sterling: "But don't touch me." Officer: "I'll do what I want, alright? I own this right here." Sterling: "But you don't own me."

@1:45ish - Officer: "What's your name?" Sterling: It's on there. Sterling Brown. Officer: These are easy questions. You're acting all bad rear end. You don't think I see these (IDs) that are faked? (paraphrased)

2 minutes to 12 from /u/nelly_24, bold comments added by me:

2:15 Officer once again acknowledges camera.

2:25 Officer asks for an explanation. Sterling explains "Yeah, I did it for just a minute, I was just trying to be in and out"

3:00 Officer "we're gonna wait. For my partner."

3:25 Sterling "What, you can't [give me a ticket] by yourself?"

3:32 Police car arrives. Then two others arrive. Officer says "I just wanted one" I assume he's refering to the amount of back-up.

4:50 more Officers arriving on scene. "All I wanted was one" "You must not be really busy" the cop says to the other officers.

5:50 Cops are talking to Sterling. Car alarm starts going off.

6:00 Sterling: "I was asking a question and he touched me." to a different officer. Sterling is surrounded by 4 cops.

Sterling seems confused in this period of time. I can't make out the discussion but he's asking "for what?" and "why?"

6:50 Unknown woman exits walgreens and talks to an officer.

7:00 they are looking inside Sterling's car with flashlight.

8:00 now six or seven officers around Sterling.

8:10 Officer yells at sterling "TAKE YOUR HANDS OUT OF YOUR POCKETS NOW." Sterling replies something to the effect of "I'm cold" He's been outside in the winter with a sweatshirt on for 8 minutes. Three officers begin grabbing him.

8:20 Five officers begin wrestling with Brown. "GET ON THE GROUND"

8:25 "Anyone got a taser?"

8:35 Sterling is now on the ground with three (?) officers on top of him. One officer yells "TASER TASER TASER"

8:40 A pop we can assume is the taser shot. Sterling moans in pain.

10:30 they go through Sterling's car.

12:00 they finish. Cop with camera is reading something?

Back to me...

@16:59 - Original officer talking to another cop: "He's like, 'I'm a Bucks payer bla bla bla.' So what?"

@19:20 - audio ends while they are talking after the original officer appears to be fidgeting with the camera. Audio returns about 30 seconds later

@23:00 - Sterling is back with visible bruises.

@23:50 - Sterling: "What are we waiting on?" - Original officer: "We got all night long"

@24:20 - Sterling: "You initiated everything." - Original officer: "No you initiated everything."

@24:50 - Original officer "Bucks player? Sorry, I don't follow the Bucks. I didn't recognize you. Sorry I didn't recognize your famous name." (sarcastically)

@26:00 - Sterling - "You walked up on me." Original Officer: "Don't make that up. It's all on camera (paraphrased)." Sterling: "You're just gonna say that in front of everybody." (the beginning of the video clearly shows the officer approaching Sterling as he walked towards his door)

@27ish - Sterling tells him to look him up and the officer responds with; What have you done? I don't know where to look you up. You been to Mars? You been to the moon? Where are you known at? Illinois? (Illinois supposed to be a crack about Chicago?)

After Sterling returns, the original officer spends the next five minutes antagonizing him, essentially saying he hasn't accomplished anything and saying that video will prove that he is in the right. The whole time that the officer is jawing with a handcuffed man who has just gotten detained, no other officer speaks up or says anything. They just let this guy talk smack to a detained man.

In my opinion, this is a case of a cop instigating and elevating an unnecessary situation and completely overstepping appropriate behavior. The cop felt threatened by a taller, athletic black man and instigated contact. He called for backup when it was a simple parking violation. Then after Sterling is tazed and cuffed, he starts to act like a tough guy. The way he repeatedly told Sterling he was a nobody leads me to believe the idea of a millionaire black athlete angers him.

I don't see how that counters what I'm saying. I'm saying in most instances like this, the camera footage never gets released, or if it does, it's months down the line like this.

You can usually tell if the cops hosed up if they drag their feet on releasing the footage.

The NBA part was negotiated into the CBA, so the NBA actually had the players agree to it, as opposed to the owners deciding what an appropriate demonstration gets to be,
