Yeah Sefolosha should know better than the expect the police to treat him in a decent manner, and with any shred of respect. He’s an idiot for not knowing the police were going to try and maim him for responding to an insult. Athletes are the worst.
Yes, because it’s right there in the police academy text: “If a bitch step to you, call yo homies and break his leg in public, teach him a lesson”
Wait, nevermind. I was reading the gangbangers’ manual.
At Sefolosha’s trial, the five officers testified that he had charged them. Sefolosha’s lawyers were able to find video that, when coupled with with TMZ’s, proved that testimony to be false.
I know right? Everyone knows that exercising free speech to a cop means you give up your right to not be assaulted by that cop. It’s common knowledge.
While the student passed her concussion protocol, the officer was hit with a four week ban for a positive decadurabolin screen.
One of the best things about the major sports (football, basketball and baseball) is also the worst and that is the premium that is placed upon talent.
He comes from a place of beating his girlfriend and having a clear pattern of violent behavior. And at some point, you don’t get to blame the environment you grew up in for criminal behavior. This article in particular is not so much about Hardy but about the people around him, white, black, latino that have decided…
So many places in the world where both overt and veiled racism exist, and you decided to choose an article about Greg Hardy to complain about it. Bad job, man.
I think the argument that he’s being suspended for a “legal baseball play” is complete and utter horseshit. Yes, the rulebook says its an umpire’s judgment call. But what happened here is that MLB realized their umpire’s call was complete and utter horseshit on so many fucking levels. Utley was out on the neighborhood…
Utley’s defense basically amounts to “If that guy hadn’t been on the sidewalk when I was driving drunk, I wouldn’t be in trouble.”
When you put up the guise of actually trying to slide into second base, that’s fine.
Bomani Jones is far too good for ESPN.
Bomani Jones is right.
They brought the case in an effort to get Thabo to plea out, which would in turn hurt his chances in a civil suit. Thabo didn’t take the bait. Now he will likely win his civil suit and the NY taxpayers will have to foot the bill for more police incompetence.
We NYers pay $$ for our police department’s mendacity. Per usual.
That’s the worst thing about all this stuff (well, fifth or sixth worst, actually). These jokers are consistently and unnecessarily violent, routinely avoid punishment, and the only true consequences of their actions are borne by the taxpayers (and the victims of their misconduct). From a purely economic perspective,…
They kept the charges because they are afraid of a Thabo civil suit. That way the prosecutor could offer a slap on the wrist plea bargain that would have been one day community service for Thabo, but effectively hurt Thabo’s civil suit. Thabo didn’t bite.
But... but.. but... It’s all de Blasio’s fault. The NYPD has never done anything wrong.
Fisher fled the house and headed straight to Temecula, where he hoped Barnes would meet him to truly finish the fight.
