Hi to all my family and friends back in philadelphia am i millions you guys and hope you have a Great Holiday a white milwaukee Police Officer who was fired after he fatally shot a mentally ill black man in april will not face criminal charges.

Hamiltons family says he suffered from schizophrenia and stopped taking medication. Manney got into an altercation and hamilton got ahold of the officers baton. Manney fired on him hitting him 14 times. There is little doubt that officer manney was exposed to a reasonably risk of death at great bodily harm. They are not allowed to employ force to kill, they are not allowed to use force to wound. They are allowed to employ force to stop the threat. And as long as that threat is present, they are authorized to use force. The d. A. Calls the death a tragic incident for the Hamilton Family and for the community.

How did that happen . This team was 913 after thanksgiving and now heading into christmas nine and six after a three game losing streak to start december. With the cowboys win yesterday the eagles will be spending january on their sofas watching with the rest of us. Chip kelly said hes not going to start the young guys sunday, hes going to play to win. In fact hey a bit clip pea with the notion he would do anything otherwise and understandably upset about the whole situation. Its gut wrenching. Thats what i was just trying to explain. Whether we lose in the playoff game or whether we lost in this fashion theyre both gut wrenching situations. Were frustrated. We still have to play one more football game. Were not going to just say, hey, new york lets not worry about it. Theyre not like that. Theyre going to be ready to play, were going to be ready to play on sunday. We wont be ready to watch but anyway. Quite the tough task for templeton night. Tenth ranked kansas, it wouldnt be an easy ride. You know what was an easy ride, the ride to the game.

It will challenge us, push us to work on some things that we need to work on going into conference play. They always have an upset or two in them each season. Flyers have gotten their season long eight game road trip off to a great start.

Words with flyers coach craig berube after the game. I dont know, i bet berube could still take him. What do you think. Sixers have the night off, theyre in miami tomorrow night. Theyll try to get their second straight win and you know last night a rare argument between nerlens noel and michael carterwilliams. They got into a heated battle on the bench in the first quarter. Childhood friends didnt let it affect things on the court. Noelle double double 12 rebounds. Mcw team high 21 points as the sixers snapped a five game losing streak to pick up their third win of the season. Afterwards they said it wasnt the first time, wont be the last these two boston kids go at it. Were going to have altercations at times and i think it made us better. I think it made us play better. The team responded and i think we got the lead from there. I think it was positive. This base flying dunk by kj mcdaniels. Even better the reaction from his mom in the stands. The whole game she was screaming pass the fuel my son. This via twitter. They had to move her seat right here at one point shirleen. Shes cute. I love it. Thank you, jamie.
