Or driving through a crowd of people in Charlottesville.

From the DOJ's own guidelines on their website. Now, maybe DOJ law enforcement officials have different training and standards than ICE officials under Homeland Security. But I suspect they would and should align. 1-16.200 - USE OF DEADLY FORCE AND PROHIBITED RESTRAINT TECHNIQUES A. Deadly Force Law enforcement and correctional officers of the Department of Justice may use deadly force only when necessary, that is, when the officer has a reasonable belief that the subject of such force poses an imminent danger of death or serious physical injury to the officer or to another person. Deadly force may not be used solely to prevent the escape of a fleeing suspect. Firearms may not be discharged solely to disable moving vehicles. Specifically, firearms may not be discharged at a moving vehicle unless: (1) a person in the vehicle is threatening the officer or another person with deadly force by means other than the vehicle; or (2) the vehicle is operated in a manner that threatens to cause death or serious physical injury to the officer or others, and no other objectively reasonable means of defense appear to exist, which includes moving out of the path of the vehicle. Firearms may not be discharged from a moving vehicle except in exigent circumstances. In these situations, an officer must have an articulable reason for this use of deadly force. If feasible and if to do so would not increase the danger to the officer or others, a verbal warning to submit to the authority of the officer shall be given prior to the use of deadly force. Warning shots are not permitted outside of the prison context. Officers will be trained in alternative methods and tactics for handling resisting subjects, which must be used when the use of deadly force is not authorized by this policy. Deadly force should not be used against persons whose actions are a threat solely to themselves or property unless an individual poses an imminent danger of death or serious physical injury to the officer or others in close proximity.

I don't know how you can watch that video that was released today and say that Renee Good was trying to run him over. She cuts the wheel in the opposite direction, not towards the officer. She didn't cut it towards him and try to side swipe him. She didn't attempt to backup the SUV and go at him either. And also her demeanor isn't one of a scary, enraged person, attempting to harm someone. Now, you can be calm and collected and still carry out a violent act, but that doesn't appear to be the case at all here.

Does "same approach as last year" at the Edge position mean Marcus Davenport is back again? Because that was their approach last season. As for the "position wasn't ignored in the draft it just didn't come together" comment about Edge, I guess a guy they like didn't fall to them and so they didn't make a pick. To some fans, they will see not drafting one as ignoring it or at least inactivity. Remember, they could have drafted Mike Green, but chose not to draft him. Now Green didn't light the world on fire as a rookie, but he was touted as one of the best pure pass rushers coming into the draft. I certainly recognize though that Mike Green doesn't check the culture fit box for the organization and was never likely an option given the sexual assault allegations in his past.

Wrong thread.

Maybe Holmes and Campbell are changing their tune this offseason and will look outside the organization for help. I love seeing this at least being reported that the Lions are looking in a different direction.

Stefanski is still my top choice, but McDaniel would probably be number two on that list. I agree with the sentiment though that both are somewhat likely to get head coaching jobs. If not though, they are my first two calls. Seeing what Stefanski could do with a real QB and weapons like St. Brown, Williams, Gibbs, and LaPorta (?, maybe, if he's healthy) would be intriguing. I'm sure he'd love having access to guys like that too as opposed to Jerry Jeudy, Harold Fannin, and Quinshon Judkins being his best weapons in Cleveland.

There were four guys I remember wanting over Danielson at the time: Zach Benson, Colby Barlow, Matthew Wood, and Dalibor Dvorsky. None of them are lighting the world on fire thus far. Two of them aren't even in the NHL yet in Barlow and Dvorsky. I don't know if a 5'10, small winger like Benson was really what we needed, but I was intrigued by his ability to put the puck in the net as a 98 point guy in the WHL.

Prayer my ass. You got paid more money to go to LSU. Just be upfront and say the real reason you made the switch.

If Harbaugh is out, does this mean Todd Monken is available? Will he just follow Harbaugh to wherever he goes next and be his OC there?

Damn, Michigan may have wanted to wait a week on that coaching hire.

Would you have preferred another Harbaugh over Whittingham?

I think it's a serious story, yes. But the person supposedly being transgendered has nothing to do with it. When an individual gunned down Melissa Hortman and her husband in there home I didn't go around posting articles about him being a straight man. So what does this person being trans have anything to do with the crime they committed?

What's no surprise? Do you even know one trans person out there in the real world? Do you also understand how dumb the rest of us would look if we went around posting every time a straight person committed a crime? We'd look as dumb as, well . . .

Has he commented on all the welfare fraud in blood red Mississippi by white guy Ted DiBiasie Jr and Brett Farve?

If Kevin Stefanski somehow doesn't land another coaching job, he's got to be at the top of our list for OC. I know the Browns offense was terrible, but that falls on the lack of talent on the field more than it does Stefanski's play calling or coaching IMO. When your QB room is Dillion Gabriel, Shedeur Sanders, and Kenny Pickett that's just not going to win anyone, any amount of games.

How will this district be impacted by California's new redistricting? I assume it will get more blue/Dem favorable. If so, why bother holding the election.

I'm here for it. It will be interesting though to see what they will do with Al-Quadin Muhammad. Brad and Dan do often seem to value their own talent, so that is one point in favor of Muhammad coming back to Detroit. However, given that he had an 11 sack season, there may be another team out there willing to pay more than the Lions think he's worth. I think if they do pay him, that will be their pass rusher opposite Aiden for next season and I wouldn't expect a move of significance at that position.

That's terrible news to hear. Pat hasn't been on 97.1 The Ticket as much lately and this explains why I guess. Pat has been an institution in Detroit sports media and radio for nearly 30 years going back to WDFN and Team 1270. I know a full recovery isn't very likely with that type of cancer diagnosis, but my thoughts go out to Pat and his family and I hope he fights and pulls through.

What a wild fourth quarter and av exciting end to the game. That was fun to watch. Multiple lead changes, great catches and throws, multiple missed kicks. That had everything you want out of a good game.

I'm glad we won today given that draft position doesn't really matter at this point and we still get a 4th place schedule as it is. I'm still pissed about the fact that we will have a winning record, while a team with a losing record will be in the playoffs.

We look good in all facets today. I was concerned about our redzone offense, but we went down an scored there before the half. It's a shame we could win this, have a winning record, and miss out on the playoffs so a team with a losing record can get in.

Yes. And I made other comments the last two offseasons about wanting to get younger on the offensive line. I also made a comment about bringing back Zietler or bringing in a veteran Guard. During the 2024 Draft I specifically mentioned wanting to draft one of JPJ or Fraizer, so this isn't me stating all this in hindsight.

The argument, at least on my end, is that there was speculation of Ragnow retiring for two straight offseasons, this one and the last. So if fans and the media were speculating about it, you'd have to think the organization was aware of it. What some of us wanted was for them to preplan for such a significant loss to your offensive line. It's why I wanted a G/C draft pick in the 2024 draft and wanted someone in this year's draft. I think if you added either a Zach Frazier or Jackson Powers-Johnson, had them sit behind Ragnow for a year, and brought back Zietler or a comparable free agent, you're looking at a different scenario for this season. If our OL this year was Decker/Ratledge/Fraizer/Zeitler/Sewell with Mahogany, Colon, and Skipper coming off the bench I think that's a net WAR of at least a win, quite possibly a net of two wins.

Brady's hair plugs look great.
