Anytime something like this happens, 100% guarantee someone plays the race card. Bottom line is if the guy had a valid license (and you know whether you do or not) this probably would have been a non-story. On campus the campus police hassle everyone, for going a mile or two faster than the limit, it’s just how campus police are, and race has nothing to do with it. He did SOMETHING no matter how minor to get pulled over. If he’d had a license he’d have been on his way. Of course he was arrested, because it’s pretty standard to take a person driving without a license (and most like no insurance if you don’t have a license) to jail. You can’t just let them drive on their way. They might be lacking a license for any number of reasons, such as multiple DUI arrests, being an illegal alien, etc. Both of which are also crimes, and reason to be detained by the police. Its not as if they are going to toss the guy in jail for 5 years, he’s going to be detained for a day at most, and go to court. Why is this even such a hot discussion?

Tired of you keyboard tough guys talking sh!t hiding behind the safety of your PC.
@armpats: eat a dick! How’s that? Will that get me keyboard cred like you’ve got? Computer slang won’t make you any blacker, and attacking your own people for no reason is doing nothing to help the situation. Bitch!

First off the cop had no clue the kid did not have a DL he had to do something else to get his butt pulled over.
So why did he get pulled over and do not tell me becuase he is black that line is so over done.
So he did something to get pulled over and then the cops found out he did not have a DL and got busted to fen bad get your paper work to DMV like us mer mortals and you do not have this issue

Why should he not be arrested? The same thing happened to me once, and if I had not had the money to post bail I would have stayed the night I’m sure. It’s not racial profiling, it’s called the law.

Not a doctor? Seriously? Is this meant to be some sort of a jab? So in your expert opinion ‘Thingamajig’ how is a doctor to sound? Enlighten me.
Goodness, I can’t believe that this ridiculous discussion has come to this.

“I’m a Rams fan, but if they just give the guy a ticket for driving without a license and don’t arrest him, then he would still have to drive without a license to get to where he was going. That’s why they had to arrest him.”
Ok, first off do you think he suddenly forgot how to drive when his license expired? Was he a dangerous driver all of a sudden? It’s not like he didn’t have insurance.
Second, did you know he could have just had his car towed and not been arrested? Would have solved the same problem.
What a waste of resources. stupid BS like this is why cops get a bad reputation whether most of them deserve it or not. CATCH REAL CRIMINALS. Don’t give speeding tickets to some guy going 6mph over the limit or arrest someone who had his freaking license expire.

He was arrested because it’s Tampa, plain and simple. It’s all about the revenue. Come on vacation, leave on probation.

I agree with texline most cops are bullies and think everyone should bow down to them. I’ve been assaulted by them twice and both times they charged me to cover their assaults, by the way I’m white. In one instance the same cops later beat a black football player to death. I know all cops aren’t that way but the majority are!

im black and i hate when black people say that shit. Sometimes it dose happen where you do have an idiot cop who pulls you over cause he plain and simply dose not like black people, or Muslim people, or any body that plain and simply dose not have the same skin color as him, especially in the south. It still happens on a regular basis,but to use it as and excuse for all of your problems is a a little bit asinine

Driving without a license. Wow. He probably forgot to get it renewed, as opposed to never having one. I get close everytime. Big Deal.

And most cops are megalomaniacs, and liars. They are encouraged to lie, and to falsify evidence. They are not in that business because of any profound desire to “protect” and “serve”. They need to feel superior and lord it over everyone else, whom they see as “beneath” them. By the way, check out the statistics on cops being charged with spousal abuse and child abuse. You may be surprised, but probably not, as your opinion outweighs all facts and I am sure you can find an excuse for this behavior.

There is no question that he did something wrong by driving (knowingly or not) with an invalid license. To suggest that a subsequent arrest is justified IF he has done nothing else wrong is crazy…but we don’t know this to be true or false.
I am a black physician living and practicing in Florida. I am not here to preach about how horrible it is to be REGULARLY profiled/ harassed by the police when I am doing nothing more than wearing my suit and driving to work in my modest sedan to go attend to patients of all color who require my care. What pisses me off is when I am looking for insight and intelligent comments about football, and I stumble across posts by people like ‘onlymyopinionmatters’; clearly a racist with no outlet for his anger over who-knows-what!
I hope the administrators of this site will prevent this type of crap from being posted in the future. The generalizations and assumptions that this racist a$$hole is making are just shy of Mel Gibson calibre and should not be displayed in this forum…please direct him to rednecktalk.com.
Let’s keep it about football now, shall we?!

expired drivers license is one thing, however a DUI after playing basketball with high schoolers? I amsure the teenagers dranka few so that would be distribution of alcohol to a minor! Since he is a rookie no suspension even those he got caught, if no charges 6 games suspension!

His license was either expired (Who knows for how long) or he never got a FL License when he was playing there. He was arrested to ensure he would appear for his court date. Expired D/L is an automatic arrest in most states. Tibor and all you other cop haters – B4 u comment on the law, learn the law. Cops do stuff to piss all of us off, but when you r in trouble the 1st person you call is a cop. As my cousin tells me “U can’t have it both ways”. Don’t hate the man and then expect him to help you. Most cop haters are usually law breakers anyway.
