Re: American Cops behaving Badly (All inclusive thread)
I think lawfully it does give cop a licence to use deadly force. It bloody well shouldn't. The charges he was arrested on should not have qualified police to shoot him. Did they genuinely fear for the lives of the public or officers if he got away? If not, don't shoot, surely. I mean, anyone runnin...

Jack Willis showed a fair turn of pace against Glaws.
I think we could do with one extra backrow to feel comfortable. Both Willis' can cover 8, as can Shields, and Vailanu.

As i replied to him. It's basically only props that can't/don't regularly play 80 minutes these days. And prop subs will always be required.
I just don't see it having the desired effect.
It will reduce playing time of youngsters and developing players though.
