You just want to believe your 5 star commit is innocent
I simply see what he was arrested for, and assume it's not 100% made up by the officer on the scene

Now that he has been determined to be a scofflaw, and a danger to women , children and law-abiding citizens everywhere WE MUST ASK OURSELVES, can we truly call ourselves Americans if we allow him to escape justice? Are we not men? For who amongst us would allow our children to be exposed to a danger of this magnitude without demanding that he be held accountable for his behavior? Not to mention immediate expulsion from The University.

I'm sure most people do this.

I don't typically get involved in player arrest threads. This one just seems off.
Posted on 1/19/14 at 8:30 pm to imjustafatkid
so are you finally coming to terms with this then?

Like most people, I have friends and family who serve in many different levels of law enforcement--working for various agencies. To a man, they're some of the best people I know.
Absolutely, some who wear badges are idiots; but I've found those to be the exceptions, not the rule. Most law enforcement types--when treated w respect--reciprocate said treatment.
But they've also dealt w enough unruly jackasses that they tend to be very suspicious/have very short fuses. Failing to obey is the quickest way to piss em off.
Just my experience.

There's nothing to come to terms with. You shouldn't believe people are guilty of everything they're charged with.

I have zero faith in police. BUT the fact that there's not a disorderly charge but instead a resisting arrest charge is a red flag that indicates the kid likely fricked up big. Bad cops usually do their dirty arse deeds at traffic stops or on their beats in neighborhoods no one cares about. They pick people who they think have no money or connections as well as those they think can't get a lawyer(an SEC athlete has connections to spare). They don't want to get caught in the act of abusing their authority and those are the two safest ways for bully cops to abuse people.
It's very unusual for a bully cop to do anything but follow the book when they're inside a private residence. The courts are far more punitive and protective of private residences for a number of reasons and even a simple frick up rather than a deliberate brutality by a bad cop is likely to get a cop put through the wringer and the shite sued out of them.
Sure it happens but bullies know full well when to play saint and when/where they can get away with being a bastard -- doesn't matter if it's a playground bully or a grown arse bully cop.

Maybe so. I bet we won't ever know the full story.

you're right

What I mean is this won't go to trial. That's the only way we would find out everything.

I definitely agree with you there. And regardless of what happened, I hope this kid gets it together. He's young and even if he weren't - we all make mistakes. We just can't let it define us even if we get a raw deal.
Hopefully, he'll listen to those who can help him, learn, and move on.

Twenty pages on a dumb arrest for a freshman db that hasn't taken a snap. Pretty obvious who is still in everyone's head as king of college football.
