This is beyond reproach... To serve and protect my ass, this officer should be fired

[Tilt A Whirl]

Just out of interest does anyone else feel this only became national news because of the celebrity status of Moats and the fact that he was black?

If it was an ordinary white Joe Blow this wouldn't even have made the local news.

Let's say this had happened to Lyle or Trainer Monkey. Do you think CCN would have been all over it? Do you think it would even be covered at all?

Of course its because he's an NFL running back,"Matchmaker/Trainer gets jacked up by the police" is not exactly national news.
Now if one of my fighters got jacked up,that at least might make the local news. But even though Ive got some juice in the sport of boxing,me getting jacked up by the po po's isnt even making the newspaper byline

haha thanks for making me laugh again Monkey in thinking the papers would describe you as a matchmaker/trainer. Do you think they would also say former punk star and caving expert as well?
