do cops chase criminals?

If you keep your nose clean...it should not matter if you are being watched or not.
These guys get paid enough money where they can afford to take a cab or hire a driver when they are going to go out and drink or do whatever. The problem is they also need baby sitters to keep them out of trouble.

I believe 100% there is truth to this story. Cinn is a very conservative city and outside of the athletes there are not very many black people there. However it's really not that hard to keep your nose clean and not get arrested.

seems like he is saying the Bengals are getting treated unfairly. all im saying is that police chase criminals. do you thing Thurman, Henry, and Benson are model citizens? may Bucher should stick to talking about Lebron, and the NBA. because he is talking out of his ass here

Ok, whatever you say.

Even if they are profiling you still have to be breaking a law for them to arrest you. Now if your talking about handing out speeding tickets and stuff like that profiling is easier to do. I love the argument by someone who say's they were profiled but still had a bag of weed on them.

Ive spent some time in cincy. small small small city. I imagine an athlete driving around in an expensive shiny benz or hummer draws alot more attention in Cincy than if he was driving the same car in DC.

They had race riots about 10 or so years ago b/c the black community felt the police dept was racially motivated.

Many times small incidents are escalated into something much more because of the inability of parties invloved to maintain a sense of discipline. Words and mannerisms' often change what a normal outcome would be.

Take the case of Henry Louis Gates for example: Asking the Police, do you know who I am? Well, in reality the Police do not give a .... who you are if they think you're in the process of committing a crime. A situation that could so easily be rectified winds up spiraling out of control all because of attitude.

what a bunch of bull crap(in my opinion)

Well if I was a cop I'd target any NFL player. They are notorious dopers, rapist, and thugs. I mean have you forgotten LT?

I think they should be profiled. The crime and complete disregard for living a proper life is ridiculous. Its getting out of hand. And 99% of it is because of this bullshit "Thug Rapper" Mentality, yo. Fucking Dirtbags. I am getting tired of players and ex players in the headlines committing crimes on a DAILY basis. Our kids are being taught, conciously and subconciously, that these sort of actions are to be expected and are run of the mill if you are an athlete, and that is a sad sad situation.

I hope Goodell can start cracking some fucking heads.......

Let's chill with the F word.

The NFL is just a cross section of society in general. For every bum that makes the headlines for driving drunk, assault, etc., there are many, many more GOOD stories out there that we don't hear about. For every bum there are probably 10 really good guys in the league. Guys that are strong family guys, strong community leaders, etc. Don't let a few bad apples spoil the bunch.
