    It is a correct interpretation of what you did. This argument you just made is very similar to the ones you make on the baseball threads, which would be fine if you weren't so happy to make assumptions that were not supported at all by the existing evidence all over this thread.

    Instead of exiting the car, he should have started it up, backed up, and run them down.

    Rams players Stedman Bailey, Tavon Austin, Jared Cook, Chris Givens and Kenny Britt in pregame salute.

    This undoubtedly will be the kind of meaningful social activism that the NFL's fan base has been clamoring for, and they will be saluted for it.

    Given Kenny Britt's history with the law no doubt he knew just what to do.

    RICH LOWRY:

    If you look at the most credible evidence, the lessons are really basic. Don't rob a convenience store. Don't fight a policeman when he stops you and try to take his gun. And when he yells at you to stop with his gun drawn, just stop, and none of this would've happened.

    Eugene Robinson and Andrea Mitchell nearly jump out of their seats before Lowry can finish his statement.

    Can everybody stop with the "hands up" thing? He didn't have his hands up. There's plenty of stuff to be rightfully bothered about in this case, but I guess it's not as catchy as "Hands up. Don't shoot!"

    Kenny "Hands Up " Britt has been involved with the police 9 times sinces he's been in the NFL:

    Personal life

    On April 12, 2011, Britt was arrested in New Jersey on three counts (including a felony) following an alleged car chase with police. The charges were later reduced.[9] On June 7, Britt pled guilty to careless driving and was fined.[10] On June 8, 2012, Britt was arrested in Hoboken, NJ, charged with resisting arrest.[11] On January 13, 2013, Britt's close personal friend was involved in a stabbing and Britt reportedly drove him to the Jersey City Medical Center. When police attempted to ask Britt about the incident, he was allegedly not willing to cooperate. The incident marks the ninth time Britt was involved with police since he joined the NFL

    It's easier, I'll grant, when you're the one saying you're using a strawman so I don't have to.

    Yes, but in a different way. I would have thought "what a douchebag idiot" instead of "what a racist, douchebag idiot."
