How is admitting to the address being incorrect on your license helpful if you are stopped for making an illegal u-turn?
posted by yzelda4045 at 02:46 PM on March 31
Where did the Officer get he idea that the address on her license was not correct? In Kansas City, you can get multiple traffic citiations and not get arrested. It happened to my son when he was driving with a suspended license (didn't pay or appear in court for an earlier ticket). So I'm going to have to side with the opinion that the officer exhibited poor judgment. It sounds as if he started down a path and his pride would not allow him to back up when it was apparent that Moats was really a guy who was trying to get to the hospital to see an ill family member.

I'm sorry, work setup won't allow me to view the video. What document did the officer have to contradict the address on her license? How did he know that was incorrect?

Who was head of the NFLPA during the last football strike and why did that strike happen? I don't remember and I don't have the time to do the research (you know, that "work thing" getting in the way and all)

The Montgomery Bus Boycott was a protest that any number of people discounted for various reasons, one of the most prevalent was that the protesters would not maintain the boycott/protest for longer than a weekend. And although it took quite a long time, almost two years, the results were a redical change in civil rights in the U.S..

Oh my GOD!!!! Upshaw's salary would make a dent with Gridiron Greats. He could afford to donate a year or two. The a**hat. What Upshaw is doing by pitting the younger players against the older ones is the same principle being used to scare people into overhauling social security. Except in football's case, its an outrageous falsehood. Upshaw should be ashamed!

Tahoemoj, I was thinking the exact same thing. Imagine Upshaw being "surprised " to see that there are contempories of his on the list! If blows to the head do not cause trauma to the brain, what is the NFL afraid of? My second thought was and still is that this is long overdue.

You know, I was debating adding my two cents to this thread. I was actually going to say " Where's Bishop?", left the thread, returned and here you are. I must admit, my immediate thought was Foley was shot while walking toward the officer. Where's the outrage? I'm normally of the opinion that public people are sometimes held to a different standard. It's not fair, but there it is. So I have to live in a fishbowl and I'm not a public figure. But I must admit, all of the posts who piled on Foley, PacMan Jones, or any other pro athlete who does something stupid and happens to not be of majority European ethnicity are proving Bishop's point by the absence of posts here. I also normally try to avoid posting in certain threads, if I see a train wreck approaching, my first instinct is to run madly in the other direction. My two cents became five, sorry for the rambling post.

Whenever Tennessee and Rutgers meet, I always hope for a different outcome, if for no other reason than to prevent the coronary that I know my 77 year old mother is going to have watching the two teams play. People, she's calling me and shouting at the Rutgers team to do something different! After this year, I've come to the conclusion that I will be the one on the floor of cardiac arrest, not my mother. Please, Vivian, if not for my mother, for me, beat Tennessee please...

This is the same sort of sentiment that Karl Malone expressed when Magic Johnson announced that he was HIV-positive. Karl was on a seriously high horse until Charles Barkley and Michael Jordan reminded him (just as publicly) that they all hung out at the same places and it could have happened to any one of them. After Karl opined to whomever asked him, I've never felt the same about him, knowing that he was a bigot and a hypocrite. This is a longwinded way to agree with vito. There must be a great deal of fear in those locker rooms, there are gay athletes who have not come out.... How ever do those poor heterosexual athletes shower?

I just love the title of this post. In my family we ask before we use something that belongs to another member of the family. That includes Mr. Brees' face. She had no right to use him to use his likeness without his permission, which appears to be the case. Its too bad that there is no relationship there.

Yay-yo, are you saying that one has to be black in order to know what makes a black person feel disrespected or hurt? I would think that it is basically the same thing that makes any person feel disrespected or hurt. You know, making a derogatory comment about one's parentage, looks, weight, attributing certain taits to an ENTIRE group of people, you know, the usual. Or as my high school government teacher taught us, "Your rights end where another person's rights begins". Thinking that only a black person would know what makes a black person feel disrespected or hurt is the same attitiude that believes that certain black political, social, faith leaders speak for ALL black people. Some of the same things make people feel disrespected and/or hurt and those things are not necessarily defined by racial makeup.

I've hesitated to join this discussion because I have so many opinions about this racial divide and lack of discourse. I agree with Weedy about black and white being used to describe a race. Stopping that classification would go a long ways toward intelligent discussion. By the same token, I do not want to be a part of a "color-blind" society because I do not want our cultural differences ignored because everyone has to be the same. Rather, I would love to see them celebrated. However, I do not see that happening as long as people fail to (or refuse to) realize that the saying "sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me" is not and has never been true. Words hurt and no one should have to hear something that offends them because the speaker choses to be obtuse. And simply because the racist and or hurtful comment comes from a member of that same ethnic group does not make it right nor does it excuse a member of another ethnic group. "They do it too" is also generalizing and a cop-out. BTW: I also think that the punishment was a bit harsh. How is Hamzehloui going to exhibit that he has learned his lesson if he never gets the opportunity to attand another NBA game?

I heard on a morning radio show that Berbick reportedly lost his life over some land deal gone bad. Supposedly, he was in a bar, something was said, they took it outside and Berbick did not fare well. I remember watching the fight where he beat Ali. I hope the murderer is found.

For some odd reason this nation has wrapped sports around drinking, ie. Sports Bar. So is it too difficult to imagine that the players would be influenced, encouraged to have a brew after a game, practice whatever? Since every NFL televised game has its share of beer commercials, "The Man Law" being a classic example, I believe that as long as the NFL accepts alcohol revenue, it bears some responsibility for the negative effects on some of its employees. Alcohol is a drug, abeit a legal one, but a drug just the same. I seriously doubt that any addict takes an addictive substance planning on being addicted to it. And since there are so many people who have taken a drink and are not addicted, I can at least fathom why an addict would never believe that it would happen to them.

Enlighten me someone, are spectators paying per set to see Wimbledon tennis or per match? If it is per set, then the more money for best of five as opposed to best of three argument makes sense. If it is per match, then that argument is full of holes. I've never given the price of tickets that much thought before this year.

I believe that Duke University has an honor code. If the team's behavior violated that code, the University is entitled to act. And since the team has decided not to cooperate with the investigation, the team itself is making it difficult to determine their guilt or innocence. That means to me that the team is willing to accept whatever concequences that silence entails.

It srikes me as sad but funny that Mr. Johnson did not know that his "love child" and I use the term loosely, was too old for daycare when he was paying it. And besides if the support was for arrears, Mr. Johnson would have to pay that regardless of his daughter's age. And on another note, does he not also share some responsibility for birth control? I know, different rant. Sorry, I just had to let it out...

When is the school responsible for the behavior of a student athlete? Maybe the dead student's father's point is that some action should have been taken because there was some prior knowledge of potentially violent behavior.
