Not so much excessive force but literally punching somebody while they are already down. In the face. Unnecessary and uncalled for force was used

Jamera Payne

Although he was resisting arrest. Beating him in face was unnecessary.

Jamera Payne

Although he was resisting arrest. He should not have got beat in his face.

Jamie campbell

They were wrong in using that kind of force.

The man was resisting and not complying. The officers tried other tactics to try to subdue the man.

Max DeYoung

Just what do you do with a person who is not fazed by a taser, and continues to attack two LEOs? Write them a ticket for disorderly conduct?

Will Mason

They should have just backed off and tazed him. With 2020 hindsight, that is what I would have done.

He has us at odds with our allies, our adversaries and within our own nation due to the extreme violence with the ICE issue... civil unrest...

Max

Wrong again.

Steven Watson

He is completely insane. He and his cabinet want the natural resources, like Venezuela oil!!!

Max

Wrong again.

Bryan Jones

We already have a military presence in Greenland. Denmark is a NATO ally. Trump should NOT be threatening the European balance or the time-tested established order. This has ramifications far beyond Trump's ego.

Max

Wrong again.

US should not invade other countries. Never Greenland or Venezuela. This is Trump enriching himself. Dangerous and destroying US reputation on human rights.

Max

He didn't invade them.

Denzel McVeigh

You don't own this country and you can't own Greenland matter of fact go away you prick

Max

Wrong again.

Kevin Blount

We have existing agreements with Greenland and Denmark regarding military bases. We should expand on that, rather than threaten to take the entire country by force 'if necessary'

Max

Trump made a deal that everyone loves. All over the EU.

Sports betting app companies now control all professional sports outcomes.

Trump is still your President

The referees are determining the winners. The NFL has become a giant money laundering system. There is nothing there for me anymore, but I have a lot more time with my lovely wife, and our friends.

Roger Goodell gets paid $64 million dollars a year to ruin the game.

The Chief's biggest mistake was signing Taylor Swift. That's when it all went South, and now the team is moving West.
