Kenyan Drake Arrested

Re: Kenyon Drake Arrested

its only profanity if it is not yours being covered for.

Re: Kenyon Drake Arrested

It's funny how natural attrition weeds out a logjam at a position & I hope Tennpenny takes advantage of this opportunity..

I was speaking as a general rule to IAMALOYAL1's comment. Great athletes can get away with a lot.

Saban is probably the most consistent coach when it comes to punishment. I tend to guess he hammers the starters just about as hard as a third stringer. That's why I love the guy.

Re: Kenyon Drake Arrested

It's a shame he wasn't carrying a football. He could have fumbled that, too.

My goodness...dude, you have a problem. I don't know exactly what it is, but you have a problem.
I think I'll start calling you "Bama Tammy".

Re: Kenyon Drake Arrested

I think it will work itself out, I see no major problem here.

I saw the crime scene and it was taped from Greensboro avenue in front Tin Top down past 4th and 23rd. All cars on the street and in the parking lots were inside the taped area. There could have easily included 150 cars or more inside the crime scene. Most were no where near the fight or where the shooting occurred. The problem is when a police officer is involved in a shooting, the investigators are extremely cautious and thorough. Drake simply made a bad choice to question them. I don't think he was impaired by alcohol but he made a bad decision. Personally I don't think there will be any major consequences but who knows.

Sounds like a ridiculously large crime scene. The problem is that often, (not always) the police seem to act with indifference to everyone else. For instance, earlier today I was admiring a police car, with no lights, breaking various laws and I was thinking that if he saw someone else doing that, he'd pull them over in a heartbeat. They're supposed to think first about our considerations, not the other way around. Would I be mad if the government decided to recklessly and irrationally tape off my private property? Darn right I would...

In a way they did it with healthcare and financial institutions now.

Re: Kenyon Drake Arrested

Nothing is going to come of this. If it costs Drake any playing time it will be in the first game only.

No problem man. Why say you that?

Re: Kenyon Drake Arrested

I'll say this and I'll walk away from this thread

K. Drake will get internal punishment and something tells me that next month, he will be in dog house for long time, and it is assumed Tenpenny will get the third position and He'll definitely make the best of it. I don't see why Drake could go into the fall camp as #3, but anything can happen and TenPenny Definitely earned it. I would expect him to miss one game and be back with the team.

Re: Kenyon Drake Arrested

Note I said " I suspected", because from what I've experienced in the past with people, almost in all case, I've seen people getting arrested for same thing, and they were drunk.

Not sure how you figure taping off a crime scene is "reckless and irrational." Should't you want law enforcement to do a thorough job and collect all the evidence needed at one time and lessen the risk for losing any, or contamination of the scene?

If that account is correct, then they did not just tape off a "crime scene" and instead just went way overboard. Kenyon was not the only person arrested for this apparently either, and depriving people of their property/transportation even if it wasn't in the immediate proximity of the crime is a questionable thing to do.

I'm not trying to defend Kenyon's action, it's not usually wise to pick a fight with the cops, but it sure sounds like they didn't go out of their way at all to avoid placing undo hardship on others.

If, for some reason they really felt they needed to tape off such a large area, the way I see it, taking pictures, witness statements, and collecting evidence would all be extremely time sensitive, and then they should have worked on allowing access to the vehicles with no direct link to the crime as soon as possible. I don't really know how that went down exactly, but from my personal experience it doesn't seem like such a stretch for the police to not care one bit that they deprived people of their transportation, however unnecessary that might have been.

Re: Kenyon Drake Arrested

Ahh man this sucks. I really hope be doesn't get kicked off. It would really suck to lose him.

Hopefully Kenyan will learn from this. I'd hate to see him throw away an education and an opportunity to play for the Crimson Tide.

Re: Kenyon Drake Arrested

I don't use the term police any more, I call them "government officials". The Police were public servants who used to wear blue uniforms and help regular people and put bad guys in jail. The "government officials" wear black, carry military class weaponry and treat everyone like the enemy. I'm betting a good stiff warning would have sent Drake away without his car but they probably just bent him over a hood immediately. Was it advisable to cross the tape? probably not. Do we live in a police state though? You folks need to ask yourself that. How far does it go?
