Fire gun game

The Minnesota Timberwolves dedicated their game against the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday to the family of George Floyd after former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was convicted of murder in Floyd’s death. During a post-game press conference , Timberwolves guard Josh Okogie said the team was dedicating the game ball to Floyd’s family. “We had the game ball, we’re dedicating that to George Floyd’s family,” Okogie said. “So, I’m glad we’re able to do that.” ADVERTISEMENT His remarks came just hours after Chauvin was found guilty of murder and manslaughter in Floyd's May 25 death, which sparked months of nationwide protests against police brutality and racial injustice. After the verdict, the Timberwolves said they hoped the decision “will serve as a step forward, but it does not ease the physical and emotional pain that continues in an environment where systemic racism exists.” “To our BIPOC community, the Timberwolves and Lynx remain committed … [Read more...] about NBA’s Timberwolves dedicate game ball to Floyd family after Chauvin verdict

Appearing on Steve Malzberg’s weekly Sunday commentary show “Eat the Press” Dr. John Lott, president of the Crime Prevention Research Center and author of Gun Control Myths , blasted President Joe Biden’s recent gun control proposals, claiming they were based on “lies” and will endanger “blacks and hispanics” living in high crime urban areas. After Malzberg called out Biden for denying he intends to limit the Second Amendment while saying “in the next breath” that “no amendment to the Constitution is absolute,” Lott replied that, “In ten minutes or so [Biden] literally made about at least two dozen different lies on [the subject],” with some of the claims being “so outrageous.” “It’s just like one false claim after another,” he added. One example Lott cited was Biden’s claim that the “alleged” reason for the substantial increase in homicides last year was due to a “lack of gun control.” “You don’t need to be a rocket scientist to realize that when you … [Read more...] about John Lott: Joe Biden Gun Proposals Will Harm Blacks, Hispanics

Leftwing activist Stacey Abrams took part in a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing Monday where she discussed Major League Baseball’s (MLB) decision to withdraw its All-Star Game out of Georgia over a new election integrity law. In her remarks to members of the committee, Abrams attempted to distance herself from boycotts of the Peach State while eventually admitting that she supports “anyone who will try to stop this type of bad behavior,” referring to the Georgia law. “I acknowledge that boycotts work because as the progeny of those who used boycotts to gain access to the very rights we are fighting to defend.

close Video Suspect accused of attacking NYPD officer released without bail Joe Borelli, New York City councilman, argues 'when Democrats control every level of government,' crimes go 'unpunished.' Mayor Bill de Blasio’s plan to curb the surging gun violence in NYC is to try out the failed policing strategy from last year — but this time, with 100 fewer cops. The NYPD will reassign 200 cops to areas where the Big Apple has seen the highest rates of gun violence as part of their annual Summer All Out program, the mayor said Tuesday. NYPD Chief of Department Rodney Harrison said the "bulk" of those cops would be moved to East New York and Brownsville, which have seen gun violence upticks of 67% and 88%, respectively.
