I loved BK as a player, but he isn’t even the #1 assistant at Rutgers. Our program regressed when he held the #1 assistant chair here.
In his defense, he would have preferred to drive away.
If you think for a second JC endorses this kind of behavior your delusional. Standing up against police misconduct towards young black men has nothing to do with this . An intoxicated young man compounded a mistake with several other mistakes from the sound of this . This doesn’t make JC in any responsible and this doesn’t make Horton an habitual criminal . He’s a kid who who made bad decisions while drunk , no one was hurt , let the legal process take it from here .
Wow, in what way does an anti-cop mentality make for a positive interaction between 18-23 year old men? (of any ethnic background I may add)
Pretty much everywhere. I posted 3 articles from a simple google search in that other thread that appears to have been deleted. There were more but it’s out there and easily found.
And on top of that the South Side has been more of a mess lately than it normally is. People are getting stabbed and shot so tolerance is probably down. And may be by design.
No. You’re missing the point. They had enough to arrest him previously. They didn’t. Horton continued. They arrested him.
I happen to know for an absolute fact that overall the first part of your post isn’t true. I’ve been in the presence of city officers who I didn’t even know well and was shocked at some of the things they said. I’m not getting into details. I get I’m just another idiot with a keyboard and aN internet connection so people may believe me accordingly but you’re off on that one.
I think mostly they’re alright. And I think the vast majority do try to do the right thing. But bad cops are a scary thing. And they’re out there. Not just the city. They’re human beings so every force of any size likely has some questionable people.
You’re not looking then. When I did it last night many articles popped up. All 3 I looked at clearly said he punched him. One was Espn (Borzello I believe) another was yahoo sports and I forget the 3rd.
“Anti-cop” mentality isn’t the same as standing up against abusive over the top actions of rogue police officers .
There are police that like to throw there weight around. If happen upon one, you are at the wrong place at the wrong time.
They charged him with disorderly conduct under (a)(1), which is when someone, "with intent to cause public inconvenience, annoyance or alarm, or recklessly creating a risk thereof ... engages in fighting or threatening, or in violent or tumultuous behavior." So they're only charging him with disorderly conduct regarding the scuffle; there's no indication that they charged him with disorderly conduct from whatever he did or said as the cops were walking away. Public drunkenness is a traffic ticket, and there's no indication that he was actually ever intoxicated outside of the officer saying he smelled alcohol on his breath.
I get that, but how it translates is a problem when you add age/alcohol into the mix, plus the constant backdrop of the "victim", "not my fault" mentality so prevalent in our society, but if you believe its the best way to lead young men so be it.
Capel's influence on these young men seems to be at least as effective as his zone offenses.
True, but even if you don't happen upon one (Big shot cops), you could still.... be at the wrong place, at the wrong time, in the wrong condition, with the wrong people(Person), but to recognize that you have to understand that you are responsible for four out of five of those factors....
SMF thinks crimes have a statute of limitations of about 30 seconds.
