the only deal he will accept is the cops are fired and become full time bouncers.

AD is going to treat the Houston PD like he treats opposing defensive backs.

—-

Following that logic, he’ll be convicted 13 times in a row, before finally “breaking one” and be found not guilty.

Has AP ever been charged with the supposed crime that proceeded his arrest and supposed resisting of this arrest?

Having a public trial over drunk and disorderly behavior and resisting arrest at a bar is not the publicity that is good for the league.

Rather than protecting the integrity of the shield it harms the integrity of the shield and therefore brings a longer suspension.

His legal bills will also more than any court fine.

The only way this ends is when they drop all charges and apologize.

The Houston PD and DA would be well advised to make that decision as soon as possible.

“Resisting Arrest” often means you didn’t kiss the officer’s boots fast enough. They can be stupid, petty tyrants. I have police in my family, so I’ve seen it. Put me on that jury…

Peterson’s made it clear he won’t accept anything less than a full dismissal of all charges.

And you know what? Good for him. If we’re to believe these guys are innocent when they say they are, it’s about time one of them stood up to the system and wasn’t afraid to prove it instead of copping out for a plea bargain.

If AP’s innocent, then I hope he puts the nails to the Houston PD. I’m as tired of self-pitying cops as I am of criminal athletes.

AP is innocent, has a great case, a great lawyer, and boatloads of money. He doesn’t need a deal.

The Houston prosecutor’s mistake was assuming that Peterson, when given the option of accepting a legal slap on the wrist and everything will quietly go away, would act like most citizens who would count the costs and, guilty or not, do the easy thing.
Peterson is not like most citizens. He has huge personal resources, huge personal pride, and a great deal at stake in protecting his image.
If the powers that be in Houston have a brain in their heads they will use today’s meeting to say “let’s just forget the whole thing.”
