I get the desire to compete, and I freely admit I have no idea what's it's like to be that great at anything competitive, and ultimately, it's Tua's choice whether to continue playing or not. He just seems like a great young man and I don't think any of us want to see him hurt even worse or a vegetable at 40. Hope he's ok.

It definitely doesn't pay more.
I don't need a badge to make me feel big and important nor do I have a need to stroke my own ego at every opportunity.
Cops don't get the respect you guys think they deserve because they have consistently hid behind the badge and protected really shitty cops from consequences. I've said many times that if they'd own up to having the bad apples and they fired and legally punished more of those bad cops relations would be a lot better and there's be more trust and respect.
I know a number of cops who I have a great deal of respect for because I know they're good people and they actually uphold the rights of the people and have called out bad actors, even though they aren't in positions to have anything actually done. I know some cops who are complete shitheads and think because they have a badge they can do whatever the **** they want and piss on the Constitution any time it gets in the way of the power they think they hold over everyone simply because they have a badge. One of those cops I actually thought was a good guy until the actions he took last summer proved otherwise. And his Chief was right there supporting and encouraging his shitty actions. They're lucky that the person involved has been a back the blue supporter and didn't want to press charges and instead let the city they work for "handle it" internally. She was told by multiple organizations and lawyers that she had a guaranteed court case and win but chose not to go that route.
And because of her actions, I'm quite certain nothing will change with the chief or his subordinate. Those officers also traumatized two kids in the process of violating the rights of those involved and pissing on their oath to the Constitution. I hate that lawsuits against police don't actually punish those involved or the department and instead just puts more on taxpayers, but until there's more accountability in policing, the distrust and disrespect will remain.
And if police received half of the respect they give, things would be worse in many cases.Infinity Art Glass - Fantastic local artist and Shocker fan

I will agree that unions do a disservice to both police and teachers. Union leaders (that is who runs the unions), and a few more who are very political, sometimes make the good ones look bad. Most teachers and cops are service oriented, and non-political. In fact, the only cops I've known are nice, polite, understanding people, who think of themselves as servants. There have been a couple of times, where I thought that "speed traps" that were set up were not done well, but that isn't a knock on individual cops as much as it probably was leadership, and maybe they thought they had a good reason for them.
Now, I will say that I met an OB-GYN once who was a real crude and unpolite person. I don't see how women put up with him, and exposed their most intimate details to him.

And you’ve still deflected the main points of the initial discussion. Hill is a loser who thinks he’s ABOVE the law and has MORE rights than others. No disparaging remarks about that saint? Didn’t think so.
Of all people to get behind when they’re already wrong, and you pick a thuggish woman beater. Nice job.Deuces Valley.
... No really, deuces.

Tragic.
KWCH - 49ers CB Charvarius Ward announces death of 1-year-old daughter
The 1-year-old daughter of San Francisco 49ers cornerback Charvarius Ward has died after battling heart problems since her birth.
Ward posted on Instagram that his daughter, Amani Joy, died on Monday morning.
“She was the best blessing we could have asked for, and her joyous spirit made us smile from ear to ear,” Ward wrote. “She taught us to have patience, trust, and a positive outlook on life. She showed us true strength and bravery. She overcame adversity at a young age and was always happy, lighting up every room with her smile. Having the privilege of being her parents and seeing the world through her eyes has changed us for the better. She will forever be daddy’s best friend and mommy’s little girl. We’ll miss you and love you forever, Amani Joy.”
Amani Joy Ward was born prematurely with Down syndrome and had open-heart surgery in April 2023.
The 49ers said in a statement that the team is “devastated” by her death.
“Amani truly embodied pure happiness and brought joy to all those around her with her sweet demeanor and contagious laugh,” the statement said. ”We will continue to grieve with Charvarius and Monique, while sending them our love and support during this unimaginable time.”
The 49ers are on their bye this week.
The 28-year-old Ward has started all 41 games since signing with the 49ers in 2022 and was voted second-team All-Pro last season. He played all but four defensive snaps in a win Sunday night against Dallas.
