Stay tuned...Anyone know Bills cap situation? I only ask because if in fact McCoy is dropped and or in Jail. Buff just became in the market for a RB..Miller..Forte ect But the only thing Forte would win in Buffalo is a pat on the back for a "good effort" in a 31-17 L to the pats..again
Police word against yours. 3 AM.

Why would it be relevant that they were cops?
Except the cops in this case were off duty, drunk, and possibly even involved in instigating the incident. To take it one step further, they didn't follow the usual and necessary protocol in terms of calling it in, etc. That's a big red flag, and possibly has something to do with why charges are still being considered; otherwise, they'd have brought the case forward days/weeks ago.
Normally, it's VERY relevant due to the position of authority that they hold. Their word is considered to be very good, which is why they're able to testify without witness and place offenders behind bars based on their side of the story alone.
As a matter of fact, is there any position known to man where someone's word has more pull than a police officer, other than maybe a priest or nun?

3 AM, indeed.
Go smash an off duty cops skull at 3 am, then you can tell me.
Judges love good stories too, I'm sure the cops also have one.
Good lawyers work better, though.

Could say that it's worse that they were cops FOR THE COPS. They should be held to a higher standard if they're cops, right? Sounds like they put themselves in that situation, regardless of the details.
Not that anyone knew they were cops at the time...just another three asswipes at the club, drinking at nearly 3 AM. They weren't on duty, and probably didn't announce they were cops. They aren't above the law, nor are they above lying to protect their hides after the fact. Being cops, why didn't they immediately report this?
I don't know about you, but I would expect to get beat up if I grabbed somebody's expensive bottle of booze and then started choking a guy over it, if that's what happened. That's one story. I wouldn't idly stand by if my friend was getting choked by somebody who just nabbed his bottle, either...if that's what happened. It's hard to say what damage McCoy did personally to any of theses cops, who are clearly better people than you or I.
Whoever started this should take the brunt of the blame, as far as I'm concerned. That's not an easy thing to prove in a bar fight...but just because you lose a fight doesn't automatically make you the victim. I don't know how many of you people have actually been in a bar fight or even have the frame of reference of having witnessed one from start to finish.
Speaking of lawyers, McCoy's is saying that he was sober. While possible, I find that a little hard to believe.
Just because one side may have initiated it, it doesn't mean the other side has a license to beat the hell out of them and stomp on their heads. Your argument is ridiculous.
So you haven't been in a bar fight then?
I didn't say they have license.
That's just what happens. You don't just punch a guy and hope he got the message. He's liable to retaliate until he can't anymore...duh. As if there are rules in an all-out brawl...especially when you factor on how unreasonable people get after having been drinking until 3 AM.
I don't think you understand my argument at all.
Your argument is easy to understand, but it lacks maturity and the expectations of a reasonable society.
Cry me a river.
Maturity and reasonability get thrown out the window at 3 AM in a bar fight. Don't be a baby. Nobody in this scenario is a saint. You want to play the game these people were playing in that club, and you get what you get. That's all. There are ideals, and then there is reality.
Except for the people involved, nobody will ever likely know what really happened in this fight, especially who instigated it. I expect that cops and football players are two of the more aggressive factions of society, wouldn't you? Otherwise, they would not be good at their jobs, ask me.
