I can't believe the lack of respect on here for our police. :(.

I would always believe a police officer over a suspect. Always.


You will never be selected for jury duty if they ask you this question.

I think we should see what Monty can do with him first. Jackson's value cannot possibly get lower than it is right now. Why trade him for pennies on the dollar when Monty could perhaps get through to him and turn him into another Scottie Pippen?

Yeah we need to ride it out with Jackson...unless we draft another swingman :nono:

There is only one thing that separates believing an officer VS a suspects story.

That is integrity. I am not saying there are not bad/dirty police. But, until proven otherwise, I 100% will believe the police.

What proof do you need? Sure, a good majority of cops are good, but how many headlines about dirty cops do you need to read to believe that some cops might not be as trustworthy as they'd like you to believe?

I have a lot of respect for police and most are honest but until you are stopped by one that is no good, you will probably not understand.

Let me say it another way.

I WILL BELIEVE "ANY" POLICE OFFICER BEFORE I BELIEVE "ANY" SUSPECT.

Until proven different.

What we have here and in other threads, are people on here basically calling police officers liars for no other obvious reason than one of "our" athletes have been arrested. They start guessing (conjecturing) as to what might have happened when there is absolutely no facts (there is that word) to say otherwise.

You are right. Let the facts speak for themselves. But, on what has been written so far, I believe the police's side.

I have dealt with police as a property manager, then read the police reports later, and I swear sometimes they write exactly the opposite of what happened! Not making this up!

Not that I would have run handcuffed, but turn it around, why handcuff a guy who is basically trying to crash the gate at an event that is obviously not a terrorist? I would be alarmed if I was a black man and was being handcuffed for such a trivial offense. Nor saying what JJ did was right. I am just saying I can see where he would be alarmed.
Lol. It said he tried to do so multiple times. At a certain point it escalates due to josh’s actions and josh’s alone. Don’t be a purposeful apologists who knowingly ignores crucial facts.

Then why not charge him? It seems off. People usually get hit with a lot of charges right off the bat so the prosecuting body has more to work with when negotiating later. It may not stick but it allows them to take it off the table instead of something else.

Of course if events played out similar to how JC suggested earlier that would explain why trespassing wouldn't be one of the charges. We don't know but the lack of an arrestable offense says a lot, IMO.
Have you read the police report? No? Then we have no idea if an arrestable offense existed. I’d have to think felony escape means from an arrest or perhaps lawful detention.

Man I can’t believe how many of you think the percentage of bad cops overwhelmingly outweighs the trust worthy ones. The bad ones get the headlines. The ones doing their jobs tend not to unless it’s an outstanding story. Pretty sad state of affairs.

Wow quite an accusation. Remind me not to retain your services if I’m ever in trouble.

If he was with his teammates and was supposed to be admitted...doesn’t he have a CELL PHONE? Why not all his buds to let him in? Sounds like he was being a persistent ass.

Who said the cops are lying? I've seen a few people ask questions and state they're not going to pass judgement until more information is released but you view that as calling cops liars? I don't see anything wrong with that, especially since the justice system in the US is supposed to believe a suspect is "innocent until proven guilty". You've openly stated that you don't believe that's the case since you choose to believe the police until otherwise.

I’m not a trial attorney. And yes, by and large I am prone to trust the people who are paid to protect us and put their lives on the line more than Joe Schmoe I don’t know until I learn the facts. That’s the way society is SUPPOSED to work.

No, in court you’re innocent until proven guilty. There’s no law about public opinion.

I never once mentioned the word “overwhelmingly” yet you paint me as distrusting the police. Did you not actually read what I wrote??
