No because he didn't die. Hopefully they'll get charged with attempted murder though.
Not in America you don't. Someone can break into your house, be unarmed, and you can spray him with hundreds of bullets and you're safe. Over there your house is your castle, literally. Over there it is legal for a white man to shoot an unarmed black man, or cops to kick the shit out of one, and then charge him with assaulting their boots and batons.

So how bout those signings..........

What positions need fixing?
Our backrow is strong. If we land Hayne our backline and halves is strong.
Hooker and Front row?

Not really any hookers available. Liccha at time would of been nice. But we will roll with Kaysa,King,Smith with Mahoney perhaps getting time at Nsw cup.
We also have young Schneider and I think we signed another young hooker.

I doubt we hear any signings till world cup is over for the players involved.
If Haynes coming we should know in a week or two. If he does our money would be all gone unless players released as suggested by Avenger

yep Front row and a dummy half, as you say there is not much on the market.

Hopefully we can land someone else up front because it’s our biggest weakness IMO.

I don't know why but I have a feeling we will sign a quality front rower before season kicks off. And I say this with no knowledge, just a hunch (hope).

I think we are OK with King and Pritchard. Re the props, I am not too worried about who is not off contract, they don't seem to matter much anymore. Napa would fit nicely...

The reality is that there are around 600 odd fatal shootings by police each year in the US. Of those on average around 400 odd are black police shooting black citizens. The theory is that white officers are paranoid/worried that if they do shoot a black person that he or she will be accused of bigotry.

These numbers come from the FBI's own web site. They contravene the medias own figures that roughly double these numbers. Why the difference? I don't know, I haven't looked into it. But for a nation that has literally over 300m guns and a bad gang and drug culture, not to mention a propaganda division known as Hollywood that is second to none, which has made violence cool to so many over numerous generations, then are we at all surprised that this is going on?

Frankly I am amazed that the police aren't shooting first at most crime scenes and asking questions later. Who would want to be a police officer in the US, especially in the big cities? A thankless job, average pay and your life is ALWAYS on the line. Constantly asked to go into the worst neighborhoods blind of what maybe waiting for you on the other side. Yeah sign me up.

By enlarge the the police do a great job and are doing their best with very little help from the politicians. America has more then enough gun control laws. The real and only problem is politicians and their failed policies in preventing poverty, the continued illegalization of drugs, a woeful education system and the total breakdown of the family unit. Throwing money at this won't change things, money isn't the problem. It is policy and the global agenda that has been created to work against the average citizen.

If Evans can come good I dont mind our forwards. Not great but workable. T rex and Frank may end up part of front row.

8 - Alvaro
10 - Evans

Bench -
Terepo
Mannah

Back ups
Vave,Matagi

Terepo is coming to a perfect age for a prop. 2016 he was very good while he missed most of 2017.

Your wish came true Ram. In August a Minneapolis cop shot Aussie Justine Damond in her PJs after she called 911 to help someone she heard screaming for help.

@RAM no-one could ever say you don't think critically about things
This is the Sociology thread isn't it??
