Yep, fuck him. Trying to arrest an entire team for fucking cigars. Those kids didn't deserve that nonsense, not to mention how it might have escalated for them either given how police and the criminal justice system treat young black athletes. That pig is a piece of shit.
I don't think anyone here would disagree with that part.Yep, fuck him. Trying to arrest an entire team for fucking cigars. Those kids didn't deserve that nonsense, not to mention how it might have escalated for them either. That pig is a piece of shit.
At least this time there's a shred of evidence the dude in question did the thing he is accused of.
This is a fucking horrible response.Insanity. Clearly a PR stunt /cash grab for this police department / community. He shouldn't have done it, but if the officer really felt like he was assaulted, why didn't he confront OBJ about this the moment it happened?
No I think its a good thing because he pulled that pig's attention off of young black athletes who dont have the resources or protections from police and the criminal justice system the same way obj does. He'll show up and pay his lawyer to take care of this and it will be a non issue. Those kids have so much more to lose, over fucking cigars.At least this time there's a shred of evidence the dude in question did the thing he is accused of.
If I slapped a cop's ass, I'd be arrested and I'm white. I don't get why people think OBJ should get to do it. Because he's famously a jackass? Naw. Not a good reason.
No it's correct. The officer was just as wrong as Odell. He shouldn't have done it but the Officer shouldn't have been harassing the kids for no reason.

The cop was being a douche, Odell was as well, but really? Arrest warrant? Gimme a fucking break.
The officer should not have been harassing the students, but that doesn't make slapping someone's ass acceptable. Specifically the "why didn't he say anything in the moment" is a common tactic used to shut down harassment victims. It's bullshit.No it's correct. The officer was just as wrong as Odell.

I agree with you
In that sense, you're totally right. The cigar thing is a total joke. But, um, don't hit the cops? Pretty basic rule that you'd think a black male would be very aware of.No I think its a good thing because he pulled that pig's attention off of young black athletes who dont have the resources or protections from police and the criminal justice system the same way obj does.

Fuck the police
1. Yes it was dumb for OBJ to do that
2. The cop should have never been in there in the first place. Let them have their fun.
The first issue is something Obj can afford to face the consequences of, which is far better than having those kids face them. He'll pay the fine and do whatever community service and be fine.In that sense, you're totally right. The cigar thing is a total joke. But, um, don't hit the cops?

On the other hand, half of them compromised their eligibility by taking piles of cash from OBJ, so let's not pretend he is a virtuous savior of these poor student athletes. He's a clown who sometimes can catch.
I wish the coach would have stepped in. Asked the cop what the fuck he was doing and not permit him to rifle through their shit with no cause.I actually have respect for OBJ on this.
Cop was harassing a kid for no fucking reason. OBJ gets the cop off the kid with a playful butt slap and focuses the cop on him instead of the kid.
Fuck that cop. According to the story, a cop came in minutes later saying there was no problem with smoking cigars. That fucking cop was going through the kids shit and everything.
It's bullshit and if Coach O had been around, he would have flipped his shit on the cop.
And he has the money to deal with this and the kid can celebrate til he realizes he still plays for freeI actually have respect for OBJ on this.

I would have said the same. Unless OBJ managed to leave a welt, this is pretty ridiculous.You're in a locker room of the national champions after the game.
Your ass is not safe from a slapping I thought this was common knowledge.
Lmao Odell had a "fuck you bitch" look on his face after the slap. I don't think I'd interpret it that way.Those of you who are not familiar with football: Players slap each other on the ass as a sign of joy and affection. It's about as common as spiking the ball into the ground after scoring.
Odell extended that "love" to the officer, who mistook the intention. Certainly he meant no harm by it.
they wanted to get him on sexual battery charges? lordamercy...
that poor security guard
Fortunately, the judge isn't a fool but you shouldn't have to rely on that. Context mattersMisdemeanor sexual battery is the intentional touching of the breasts or buttocks of the victim by the offender using any instrumentality or any part of the body of the offender, directly or through clothing, or the intentional touching of the breasts or buttocks of the offender by the victim using any instrumentality or any part of the body of the victim, directly or through clothing, when the offender acts without the consent of the victim.
Did you watch the video? It's pretty clear that it is not a love slap...that was a stop harassing the kid slap. Still doesn't rise to a arrestable offense in that situation.Those of you who are not familiar with football: Players slap each other on the ass as a sign of joy and affection.

Well, if I smacked a cop on the ass during a locker room celebration, I'd probably just get a talkin' to.How'd you think you'd get on if you tried that on a cop? It is 100% an arrestable offence.
I didn't know this was about what violations you cared about. I thought it was about a guy who broke at least two laws and gave a hundred players a chance to ignorantly break an NCAA rule that could ruin their entire future, all when he obviously knew better.The first issue is something Obj can afford to face the consequences of, which is far better than having those kids face them. He'll pay the fine and do whatever community service and be fine.
The second issue is based on an incredibly arbitrary rule from the NCAA that I couldn't possibly give less of a fuck about. Oh some kids got paid by a millionaire, THE HORROR!
Arrested for slapping a butt in a locker room? And people wonder why ppl think police are out of control
It's pretty blatant
Pretty much and you have some here running to his defense, it's sad.
You can be arrested for assault for spitting on someone. You can absolutely be arrested for slapping someone.Did you watch the video? It's pretty clear that it is not a love slap...that was a stop harassing the kid slap. Still doesn't rise to a arrestable offense in that situation.
Were on a discussion forum talking about what happened. I gave my opinion. Thats how it works. Ignorantly break NCAA rules that could ruin their life? Lmao no rule breaking of the NCAA is going to ruin these players lives, especially because the players he gave cash to were all leaving the NCAA anyway (not to mention the NCAA is an incredibly sordid organization that robs student athletes from the money they make their institutions). I also don't care about breaking a law to protect kids from an overzealous pig, with a criminal justice system that ACTUALLY will ruin their lives (unlike being paid by OBJ lol).I didn't know this was about what violations you cared about.

I have no concept of how people can see video evidence of a thing they themselves would be arrested over and then say, "Yeah, no, that's not a thing." Very similar to one of America's political parties, and proof that your biases are warping your treatment of the reality the rest of us have to live in. Which, wait, isn't that what we say is the problem with policing?

I didn't say its not a thing actually. You seem to be having trouble following my arguments. I said its a good thing he did what he did. The rest of that statement is just jumbled mush that doesn't mean anything to me so I have nothing further to add to that.
shit aint sexual assault brehSexual assault isn't a joke why are people making light of this?
