Non story, that's just football. When are we going to see the punishment for pissgate?

Well, McCoy does have to play in Buffalo so there is some punishment.

Lack of evidence? Didn't they have actual video of it?

 

[archstanton543]

So whatever happened to big trouble for a Pats offensive player who was involved in a death in FL a couple weeks back? That came and went quickly, didn't it?

Pretty sure it was pretty clear as well

If you read the other thread, the late developments pretty much insured this result.

Pressing charges would have created a huge headache for the city because the evidence seemed inconclusive and indeed based on released witness statements there was a good chance the off-duty cops actually started it. And McCoy has the resources to mount a vigorous defense that could have cost the city quite a bit of money and ended up embarrassing the city and its police force.

Hm, even if it's not McCoy's fault can we still claim that both parties look bad?

Absolutely we can claim that. Fighting, as an adult, looks bad.

Off duty officers who have their guns on them in a club at 3 am looks pretty bad. In fact, civilians (which you are as a cop when you're off duty) aren't allowed to have guns in a nightclub. It also looks bad to start ****, get your ass kicked, and then hide behind your badge when you weren't on duty. Should be dropped.

FWIW, many cities require that their police have the firearms and badges with them at all times. It's for the cop's personal protection in case someone decides they recognize them and want to "do something about it", and also so they can respond if there is an incident nearby.

Like explaining how the cops could afford $1200 bottles of champagne..............

Did not know that. Makes sense. They probably weren't in too much of a position to help in this case, but I understand the logic totally.

Video?

McCoy was in a fight with off duty cops.

McCoy could have sued the city for money if he wasn't found guilty?

 

[XLIX]

I am board with those that think that while McCoy isn't exactly innocent, the city and the police department wanted this to go away because there's various things they really didn't want coming out.

The prosecution would have cost the city money, and McCoy could have pressed charges himself if so inclined.

What charge could McCoy press on who?

Lots of "overtime". You never watched "The Wire", eh?
