I'd also be interested in knowing how many of them were football players or friends of football players. I would expect the jock crowd to tend to stick together and support the coach.

People will say anything to get on TV cameras and there is an abundance of them around covering a sensational story. Here we are dealing with youngsters and as such their opinions are suspect to me (age, wisdom and judgement?).

Now if I can see some written letters to the school admin or to editors in support of Officer Slam, I would be a bit more open minded. Briebart and RT? Gimme a break.

I don't care what information comes out.

I am going to try to twist it around and spin it against Officer Slam.

It would confuse me if you didn't.

Brietbart's reporting, alas, is too partisan to be believed, but they had some interesting photos.

RT says 100's of students, MSNBC says 'about a hundred.' Which do you believe--the news outlet that keeps having journalists resign over the organization's ethics, or the one that will fire journalists who violate ethics?

Good panel discussion on MSNBC--hope you listened to it.

I'll see your comment about Brietbart with the same comment about Melissa Harris Perry.

I find it hard to trust any of the popular/well known news sources.

This out of a student body of about 2100.

That's about 5%.

That's more support than Lindsey Graham has.

Poor Lindsey!

Well of course you weren't using it in the royal sense, don. I was just having a little innocent fun instead of poking you in the eye for the arrogant sense you were actually using it. The "I speak for the entire board" sense.

FACT CHECK CONTINUED:

No, didn't use it in that sense either. I used to word 'us' to refer to exactly two people: you and me.

No don, I'm afraid not. You used the word "us" to let me know that the whole forum thinks I have self-control challenges. Don't be an arrogant ass your whole life...just speak for yourself. And do try not to slither out from under what you post on the forum.

Oh that. Well I see your point, but it doesn't have to be the whole forum. I just need one other person to validate the usage. I don't think I'm in trouble.
