Security footage was released today after it was announced that the two Gastonia police officers who shot and killed a man at a convenience store in January won’t face any criminal charges.
Before getting into the details, as someone who has spent a lot of time in Gastonia, NC, this is the most "Gastonia" gas station conversation I've ever heard (audio up) 😎
-very good body positioning by the cop to conceal his 4 o'clock draw and a solid draw and first shot on target time 🤌🏽
-the cop took at least two shots on the threat while the threat was at a 90 degree angle; good example of why the 12-18'' penetration standard is the standard. Also, at that angle the standard "torso" target get's a whole lot thinner and the accuracy demanded increases
-after the man in red was shot and killed saving taxpayers millions of dollars, it was discovered that the "gun" he pulled was a replica and not real
Train accordingly...

@FREAKMMA1 Bro didn't even get close to the title though, did he? He was ranked but not quite a title contender. His last wins were Jeremy Stephens and Calvin Kattar. Both decent fighters but not contenders.
🚨😲 Zabit Magomedsharipov reveals he retired because the UFC didn’t want him as champion
"They just didn't want to make me a champion because we already had a lot of champions from Russia."

I started covering this sport in 2001 as a freshman at SU. UFC wasn’t even 8 years old. Saturday AM radio show that no one listened to. My first pay check covering MMA came 8 years later.
Call me a lot of shit, if you wish, but a leech is laughable. There was nothing to leech off.
Sounds like my honest criticism of inauthentic banter - not the fight, which I was glowingly positive about - struck a nerve. Ah well. That’s the job.
I’ll tell you who is a leech: managers who care more about their standing with the entity they are supposed negotiate with than their own clients.
Managers who suck a % off the blood sweat and tears of broken fighters and care more about their own fame than their clients. Managers who beg media to speak to them rather than speak to their own clients.
Laughable.
Judge me by my enemies. If they think I’m a bad guy, I’m very happy.
I was here before y’all got here and will be here long after, too.
@uncrownedcombat: last of a dying breed.
@Mrgunsngear I don't like black violence
But this dude was walking away out of the store
Was just barking
And the cop shot him for no reason
The gun was pointed down and he was walking away
This is bullshit
I don't like this
Ariel Helwani just exposed Sean Strickland’s whole “alpha red pill” gimmick as straight WWE fanfic 😂
Bro went from “I’ll slap Khamzat’s mom” to “actually I’m sorry guys 🥺” faster than he taps in a real fight.
This dude’s tough guy persona is faker than his hairline. We don’t want UFC fighters, we want wrestlers who stay in character. Retire the script, Sean — the only thing you’re knocking out is your own credibility 😂🤡

Ariel Helwani WENT OFF on Sean Strickland for taking back his trash talk and apologizing 😳
“That is the biggest bunch of bullsh*t I’ve ever heard. That is fraud. That is cowardly sh*t. You cannot walk that back. You called Khamzat's mother a wh*re! That tells me you’re not who you say you are. You’re a walking contradiction.”

Clavicular introduced Alice Rosenblum to the fan who spent $3,150,000 on her and she immediately tried leaving after he crossed the line 😳
“You are so gross, get away from me. Clav help me. Don’t try to touch me loser. I'm calling the cops.”
my boyfriend (who is b list famous) gets recognized nearly everywhere we go. i don’t get jealous easily but lately it’s been getting out of hand with how many people want photos, autographs etc.. he doesn’t love it but he’s happy to have fans and put a smile on peoples faces. sometimes the amount of attention he gets, especially from women, makes me a bit uncomfortable. any advice?
Immense planning and technical precision was required for this absolutely preposterous (but real) view: I captured my friend @BlackGryph0n transiting the sun during a skydive.
