I hope he's repaid the same courtesy when he loses a loved one.

I'd like to see the dashboard footage of this stop and have independent verification as to the time of the stop and his mothers passing before passing judgement.

I've meet a few NFL'ers in my time.

I do not know if the full video is there, but he article does link to the dashboard video of the event. No, I've not watched it.

even if it was 5 minutes time, or two or three, I think the behaviour of the police officer was and is appaling.

After watching the video:

Running a red light. Failure to stop. Aggressive behavior, Yelling. These things tend to upset officers. I see plenty of blame on both sides.

On the surface it might seem that way. Personally, I would have to see the video.

Yes, some cops do overreact. But cops also get a LOT of people claiming that they are rushing to a dieing relative, or some other "excusable" reason for running a red light, speeding, etc.




OK, I watched (without audio) the first couple of minutes of the video.

1. The driver continued through SEVERAL red lights and stop signs without stopping
2. The driver had the cop following him with lights on for at least a full minute
3. The driver and passenger jumped out of the car and were in a frantic mode

With the three points above, the cop was justified (in my mind) to at least pull his gun.

I used to work at a place frequented by NFL players. Each and every one of them was a major prick. Obviously, not every NFL player is an asshole, but I am comfortable saying most of them are.

I just got off the phone with a dr. (as in doctor, as in dUuUuUrRr) She was having trouble logging into our portal. I asked her what error message she got, her reply:

Authtification failed

That's not a typo. This doctor actually said "authentiFIcation"...!

If you define a child holding an adult sized item as "quasi-work safe" then I believe it's clearly evident that I do not understand the meaning of the word "quasi"

Very poor show.
