In Gainesville, asking the officer to not arrest you is considered resisting arrest. Also, you will be arrested for throwing a sandwich inside a Jimmie Johns... but only if you are a black male athlete.

I'm really surprised that ANYONE in authority actually had the balls to say his charges were a little strong. I guess that's a start, but dang man.
This has similarities to the Jeremy Hill situation in that a kids education, possible future livelihood, integrity (and I'm sure a bunch of other attributes) are being jeopardized NOT by the fact that the guy(s) are a bunch of hardened criminals, but rather, by the fact that they are stupid 19 year olds that happen to make the worse mistakes of their lives while someone happened to be watching.
In Morrison's case, the police happen to be watching a little too closely on the heels of him fighting a bouncer. In Hill's case, the court happened to be watching on the heals of him getting a bj while in high school.
People's futures shouldn't pawned like that over political correctness, overzealous policing, or other unnecessary elements of our current society.
I don't know Morrison or Hill personally. Based STRICTLY ON MY ADMITTED CATEGORIZATION of athlete's (I don't even know what color Morrison is, so it really is just "athletes" and not skin color), something tells me that both of them have a better chance of making millions on the football field as opposed to becoming NASA engineers. And with that being said, I really don't appreciate some Baton Rouge or Gainesville jerknuts cop kinda screwing that up.
