Fingon Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 Smells like a load of bull ****. No other charge than resisting arrest?

aristocrat Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 why was he arrested in the first place? I feel like you can't be charged with resisting arrest without another offense?
NoSaint Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 why was he arrested in the first place? I feel like you can't be charged with resisting arrest without another offense? You mean they need to be arresting you before you resist?!?
BuffaloBillsSD Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 At least they didn't take a baton to his knee and instead tried to jump on his back, have they watched him play before?
\GoBillsInDallas/ Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 He was at a bar at 2:30 a.m. Police were called there because of a disturbance. At 2:30 a.m., and with a few drinks in him, he doesn't obey the officers while they're investigating. Bar: http://www.bayouplace.com/
Offside Number 76 Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 He's black, famous, and didn't do exactly what the officers wanted him to do.

But it's still an odd charge without an initial cause to arrest. Typically that would fall under some disorderly conduct/disturbing the peace charge from what I understand.
DrDawkinstein Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 Stupid. He's always seemed like a good guy, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt here.
MARCELL DAREUS POWER Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 (edited) sounds like bs. typical power hungry racist cops. believe me, it's systemic... Edited July 7, 2012 by MARCELL DAREUS POWER
Fan in Chicago Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 Theres a number of things that fall under resisiting arrest. Hindering, false info to police, refusing to give name to police, running from police while trying to be detained, etc. I am pretty sure pushing a police officer would be on that list too
Glory Bound Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 You see it far too often...cops so eager to muscle up & show their power when a situation could so easily be diffused through friendliness.
\GoBillsInDallas/ Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 http://blog.chron.com/ultimatetexans/2012/07/vikings-star-adrian-peterson-arrested-in-houston/ The officer informed Peterson and the group that the bar was closed and asked them to walk toward the nearest exit,” Smith said. The officer moved on to inform other patrons of the club’s closing and then returned to Peterson’s group, which was still talking at the bar, Smith said. The officer again asked Peterson’s group to leave and turned away. “That’s when Peterson told the officer that the group had heard him the first time and pushed the officer in the shoulder, causing him to stumble,” Smith said. The officer responded by telling Peterson he was under arrest and asking him to turn around and place his hands behind his back, Smith said. Peterson began yelling at the officer, Smith said. “As the officer attempted to place Peterson in handcuffs, Peterson pulled away from the officer and assumed an aggressive stance,” Smith said. A second officer, an HPD sergeant also working an approved extra job at the club, tried to help with the arrest, Smith said. Peterson struggled with both, drawing a third officer into the mix, Smith said.

Sig1Hunter Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 You see it far too often...cops so eager to muscle up & show their power when a situation could so easily be diffused through friendliness. You mean, like asking him TWICE to leave? According to the report, Peterson pushed the police officer first. Where I come from, that is battery on a law enforcement officer (a felony). "Pretty please, Mr Peterson, stop pushing me." In the real world, that doesnt work. Come on... sounds like bs. typical power hungry racist cops. believe me, it's systemic... Really? Where did you read that?
/dev/null Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 He's black, famous, and didn't do exactly what the officers wanted him to do. Yeah cops look for ripped 6'2 220# guys to mess with. They also enjoy taking a ride thru the hood looking for possibly armed thugs to taunt. It makes their day. I have a little different point of view concerning cops than most. My father was a cop so I've seen the personal side of cops. They're not racists. They're not Nazi's. They're doing the job they're paid to do If you're going to be a hater, don't hate the player. Hate the game
CDogg20 Posted July 7, 2012 Posted July 7, 2012 Stupid. He's always seemed like a good guy, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt here. I agree, doesnt seem like the type of guy to do something to jeopardize his career especially with what hes going through now
