What would you have done to avoid what happened to this guy?
Spoiler: he wasn't the guy they were after. He didn't do anything remotely illegal. He was literally just walking to work.

I hope that guy owns the police station now.

No it doesn’t most of us have never run from the cops.

Imo it's not a big deal and something he can learn from.
Luckily no one was hurt.

For me, it would depend on the charge. If you're arrested for something like avenging a family member, that would obviously be manly. But if it's something like public intoxication, which I assume is what most people ITT are talking about when recalling their wild college days, there's nothing manly about it. Sorority girls are drunk in public at least three days a week so obviously it doesn't take much masculinity to pull that off.

My point is that people break the law with arrest-able offenses all the time without even knowing it. I'm more or less critiquing the breadth of our legal code and all the opportunities the state has to stitch people up if they so choose. There is a difference between never having Sauron's eye fix its gaze on you and being a morally upright and compliant citizen.
With that said, my college days was rife with opportunities to end up arrested.

Me too, and it only happened once. It wasn't like I was robbing people or raping women. I got into a fight with a guy who started the altercation.
Heck my son while in high school was doing doughnuts in a the family van in an area that was technically a public park. Cops show up at the door and let my wife know what he was doing and said, "Have a talk with him about this." He was 16 and with his buddies playing basketball, got encouraged to do it and did.
This stuff happens. And to listen to some sanctimonious dudes sit around and claim they've never done anything that could get them arrested is insufferable. Fact is, men are wired for risky behaviours. It's why we volunteer for the military.

I'm not saying give him 20 years in prison or even prison but I think some of us are implying that laws are "optional" and "boys will be boys" so there should be zero consequences.
I'm sorry but stupidity should be very painful. Ignorant is a person doing something and didn't know any better. Stupid is you knowing it's wrong and doing it anyway. This young man was stupid and there should be consequences. What those consequences are, I don't know. I'm not a judge but there ought to be something.
The idea that "everybody breaks the law" is complete and utter horse shite. I get so tired of seeing that argument. Yes, there are some weird and obscure laws out there but how often does anyone get charged with breaking those laws? Rarely. Evading the police is NOT one of those laws.
Innocent people, people who have zero connection or bystanders could have been killed. Not sure why the gravity of this charge is lost on people.

Assuming the $1500 bond is reflective of a misdemeanor charge, it would have been a low speed pursuit and may not even be much of anything. I've seen one where a young woman was charged with fleeing because she was trying to find a well lit parking lot to pull into and slowly drove like a mile or two down the road with her flashers on and another one where a guy who had an active warrant was being pulled over going into his neighborhood so he just drove home to avoid having to pay for a tow after being arrested. Failing to pull over immediately is often sufficient for them to charge you with fleeing just because you made their jobs ever so slightly more difficult.
I'm not saying this is definitely nothing to see here, move along, but there's a non-zero chance that there's nothing to see here, move along.

i'm a country boy and one 4th of july we ended up at the local park, a baseball field with a tennis court that had basketball goals. well we decided it would be fun to play tennis with roman candles, it was interesting. point being, i have no doubt had there been a policeman anywhere near, which was seldom the case, we wouldve been arrested for something or other, lol.

I’m not suggesting winks and grins here. I’m just suggesting grace and humility.

As he should be.
Glad CKD has set his foot down to message discipline to the team.
Dumb act, no one was hurt, but they easily could have been. Not to say most all of us haven't done stupid shite, whether caught or not. But, when you play stupid games you often win stupid prizes
Plus, it just takes away from what the team is trying to establish in culture and discipline.
I am sure it won't be long, but not dressing for a home game vs LSU is a big deal.

Court Docs
All misdemeanors so far, unless additional charges are brought later. All of us have had questionable judgement at one time or another, but Dre might be on the extreme end. One of the policemen noted that he recognized Dre from "...multiple previous interactions on the Strip".
