Pro Football Hall of Famer Brian Urlacher’s social media activity was blasted Thursday as he appeared to slam the NBA players’ strike over the Jacob Blake shooting and was caught liking a post in support of a 17-year-old suspect who allegedly shot protesters in Wisconsin.

On Thursday, he shared an image on his Instagram that read: “Brett Favre played the [Monday Night Football] game the day his dad died, threw 4 TDs in the first half, and was a legend for playing in the face of adversity.

“NBA players boycott the playoffs because a dude reaching for a knife wanted on a felony sexual assault warrant, was shot by police.”

He also "liked" another Instagram photo, which read: “Free Kyle Rittenhouse.” Rittenhouse was identified as the suspected gunman who crossed state lines and is alleged to have shot and killed two people during the unrest in Kenosha.

World Series champion Aubrey Huff praised the 17-year-old gunman charged with killing two protesters in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

“#KyleRittenhouse is a national treasure,” the ex-San Francisco Giant tweeted Wednesday night.

Huff’s post, which garnered more than 2,700 likes and 1,165 retweets and comments, drew a mixed reaction of disgust and support before it was deleted Thursday morning.

The 43-year-old dad of two — who helped lead the Giants to their 2010 World Series win — has made headlines before for his controversial tweets.

In January, after the Giants promoted Alyssa Nakken to assistant coach — making her the first full-time female assistant coach in Major League Baseball history — Huff tweeted, “This has #metoo & #BelieveAllWomen written all over it. Only in ⁦@SFGiants.”

We live in a bizarre world where people say a man shot 7 times from the police and likely can never walk again deserved it. Also, Jacob Blake was not reaching for a knife. Another lie.

These same people also praise an actual murderer in Rittenhouse.

These people live in the foxnews/Facebook/alt-right bubble where facts and information are distorted.

You are ranting you don’t know All the facts. Both cases are ambiguous to a degree.

Blake was resisting and ignoring commands and did something potentially dangerous. These facts add context.
 
People **** on Urlacher, meanwhile, crickets were all that was heard when ESPN revealed the abuse at NBA camps in China against minors.

A misinformed poster complaining about misinformed celebrities ... how ironic. :lol:

Do you believe Mr. Blake deserved to be shot seven times in front of his children?

A wanted felon who violated a restraining order, entered his girlfriends house, sexually assaulted her by pulling a Trump and grabbing her by the *****, stealing her car keys and aggressively advanced law enforcement officers (who were briefed about his open warrant before arriving), attempted to arrest him and escaped to do something with/in his vehicle ... with a weapon present and placing his children in danger.

Yes .. he deserved to be shot for the decisions he made.

No, and a really good cop may haven made the better choice to wait a second longer to see what he was doing.

That doesn’t mean the cop’s small mistake was a crime. It’s understandable given the situation this perp instigated and forced upon the cop to make that split second decision.

If the cop waits a second too long, he might be dead. Cops have died exactly like this, a perp turns s reaches into his car and gets s gun killing the cop.

The perp was acting a fool, his mistake was a much bigger mistake than the cops.

A random untrained person is expected to react calmly, rationally, compliantly, and immediately when an angry person with a gun is shouting at them.

Meanwhile, the cop allowed to kill you immediately if they think you could possibly be a danger.

Why am I held to a higher standard?

If I get into a fender bender with you, and you reach into your glove compartment to get your insurance card, am I allowed to kill you? It could be a gun.

That is all on Mr. Blake. He is the one that fought and resisted the police in the presence of his children. Why should anyone be more concerned about his kids than he is?

"Everyone not immediately and fully compliant must be killed on the spot" is some big government ****.

The answer to that is a resounding YES! If you acted the same way as Blake before hand. Read what you sow.

Walking away in a huff? Lots of people do that when they're angry.

But let's say you don't. You're polite in every way. But I suspect you have a gun, something in my gut says you're a danger.

Did he fight with the police? Really?

Get real! He did not just walk away in a huff. He fought with the cops. He escaped from the cops. He continued to resist their attempts to restrain him and then he made a furtive move into his car that a cop who was already on high alert determined was dangerous. 7 shots may have been overkill but the first was certainly justified. Quit making excuses for the same types of behavior that leads to legal but bad outcomes.

"MUST" is not the correct word. If you are not compliant but combative then you "May" find yourself in perilous situation. Your choice.
 
New details in Kenosha shootings: Jacob Blake tasered twice; Rittenhouse attorney says he did not transport gun

Are you going take the position that the police tasered Blake just for the fun of it or because he, like all the rest was resisting lawful orders. He and his actions are to blame for the outcome.

The fundamental gulf between liberals and conservatives is that conservatives think "being uncooperative" is justification for lethal force used by a government agent.

And they call themselves the party of "small government."

You don't get it. You refuse to get it. Police are beating up and killing blacks simply for their skin color.

That statement is quite a leap and what does any of this have to do with big or small government?

No, that is the right wing propaganda version of what liberals are saying.
