Tide Sports Reporting Tony Brown Arrest

[BamaPokerplayer]

I don't know the details of the situation. I do believe that if you stay in the background with a closed mouth nothing will happen to you.

Seebell, I agree. Looks like Brown has some Manning in him.

This should be irrelevant. Our interaction with people that we put in positions of power should not require we quietly hide in the back when they're around. They are there to do us a service, they are being paid by us, and their actions should be a benefit to us.

The facts of this case seem to indicate an abusive individual, who clearly crossed the line, and things like this should not be taken quietly. We should never be afraid to confront people we put in positions of authority, when they are clearly not doing their job properly. I find it an absurd sort of logic that says when authority is abused, just try to avoid detection from said authority. How is that a resolution?

What bothers me is the article seems to refer to multiple policemen's misbehavior, not just one officer. If it's one guy, that's one thing. If it's several acting that way, then we really have a problem.

We are talking about two different scenarios Krazy. Hear me out. You are talking about a theory

This should be irrelevant....their actions should be a benefit...should not be taken quietly...should never be afraid

You are 100% correct and there is a time and place to address these grievances. I (and others) are simply suggesting that when a man with a badge and a gun has a mad on (for whatever reason) that moment is not the time to assert theory. Better to pick your battles, like the next day with his boss or the newspaper.

Nope. Sip's "situation" didn't involve me in the least.

I would say this, for those who are students in T-town, especially student athletes: video is your friend. If the cops show up, whip out your smart phone and start recording video. If nothing happens, you can delete the video later. If a football player is complying with a police officer's direction to leave, is walking to his car, and a cop is walking alongside him pepper spraying him in the face, taunting him, video of that would be quite valuable, both financially for the videographer and for the benefit of ridding TPD of an out of control cop.
It is one thing to verbally dispute, the morning after, the police version of events. It is quite another to release video proof showing the police version was false.

Absolutely!! That is a smarter way to deal with the situation.

You would hope something like that wouldn't happen, but if it did, I'd sure like to have video evidence.
