Charles Barkley is cementing his reputation as the most fearless commentator on all things related to the National Basketball Association.
Consider what Sir Charles said Thursday night about the Breonna Taylor case, which has a significant part of the country’s knickers in a twist:
“We do have to take into account that her boyfriend did shoot at the cop and shot a cop, so like I say, even though I’m really sorry she lost her life, I don’t think that we can just say we can put this in the same situation with George Floyd and Ahmaud Arbery, I just don’t believe that.”
Between the clip above and the one below, we have to tip our Outkick DBAP trucker hat to Sir Charles for bringing the truth, and bringing it strong.
she wasn’t in bed either…
and a long time person of interest…
and enough with the EMT uni…she was fired in 2017
The way the narrative has been set; You would think the cops burst in, arrested the boyfriend, one of em raided the fridge, another one took a shit with the door open, another started breaking and stealing shit, and the others ran upstairs and executed Breanna Taylor in her sleep (all while wearing klan robes).
In what planet does it not matter that the boyfriend shot and hit one of the cops first? It’s like people are immune from facts. Also, I was to understand it was a no-knock warrant? Reports now say the opposite.
Exactly. That’s what LeBron and others want the world to believe: that cops are out here hunting black people. That is a demonstrable lie. When I hear famous black folks talk about being afraid in their neighborhoods because of cops I laugh sarcastically. Have you ever listened to hip hop? Well if not, just know it is a playbook for criminal behavior and most rappers aren’t racist white cops.
Yeah, I listen to hip-hop but I wouldn’t read too much into it. That’s like blaming the video game GTA for crime. That’s just deflecting from personal accountability. I can compartmentalize what’s stated in lyrics and move on with my day. However, only morons believe cops are “literally hunting black people”. Only people who believe that nonsense are yuppie, liberal whites and black people who have never left their block, let alone traveled to another state or country.
This kind of thing makes white lefties ‘uncomfortable’, which is what they’re obsessed with making everybody right of Mao who is white feel.
White leftist cannot handle facts
It amazes me that media and libs always make it seem that the cops did not knock…. They did knock and announce themselves. If they didn’t knock then it’s absolutely amazing that both Breonna and her boyfriend had outstanding instincts and the wherewithal to get out of bed, grab a gun, load the gun, cock it ready to fire and get in a fire ready position in the hallway. Amazing….

They knocked!
I think evidence presented in court will make the narrative of this woman’s death an even bigger myth.
Charles should run for office. He and Trump both apply common sense to their discussions. Clay, get Charles to come on your show. Interested in hearing more from him.
This.
Barkley leans left now because he’s surrounded by it. But he does respond to logic and common sense. He just rarely encounters it when the set lights go on.
What does any of this have to do with basketball ?
The NBA decided it wanted to comment on these events. At least 1 player wore “say her name” on their jersey.
One thing that strikes me about every case Barclay references, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, etc. all have a theme. The facts of those cases were distorted, from the start, right out of the gate, by the MEDIA.
Before anyone knew what really happened a false narrative full of disinformation had been spread across the nation by every news outlet. A short video clip, edited conveniently to only show a piece of the incident, replaying 24/7, accompanied by feigned outrage from commentators, all a literal production, to throw gas on the flame of hysteria racial unrest. I would strongly recommend that police stop sharing Video of these incidents with the media before they have had a chance to make a public statement. You are asking for it. Be smarter.
Facts matter and Charles understands it. Go back to Michael Brown. That was a prime example of knee jerk reactions and the spreading of lies to fit a narrative. Michael’s friend told the first lie (hands up don’t shoot) and the media ran with it. What happened next…rioting, looting, and destruction. That happened in Ferguson over six years ago. Look at all the “headline” cases and virtually the same results occur. No one can wait one minute for the true facts to come out. I’m not going to say 100% of police shootings are totally justified. They’re human beings and f–k up just like all of us, but typically the questionable cases are few (versus the huge number of violent interactions the police endure). The media remains the main culprit in stoking the flames (I’ll add King James Of Woke to that).
The didn’t knock lie is annoying. I’d venture to say no knock warrants are executed safely everyday. Wether they should be legal any longer is open to debate. It’s almost as if they hadn’t knocked she may still be alive. Just some conjecture on my part.
Big thumbs up for Charles. What about Breonna’s relationship with ex-boyfriend.
Some reports have him calling her from jail multiple times. Handling his drug money.
It’s hard not to like Barkley i watch from time to time and he can be funny and entertaining and he is correct on this issue . But make no mistake he is a leftie for sure and is usually taking the black side of issues irregardless of the facts maybe he has decided facts do matter if so good for him.
