For most of us, if we had to take a close friend to the hospital for treatment with a stab wound, we’d want to do anything we could to help the authorities help bring the person who stabbed him to justice. Apparently Titans receiver Kenny Britt is not like most of us.

A New Jersey police spokesman told the Tennessean on Friday that police still think Britt can provide them with information about the stabbing that took place last month, and Britt is still declining to do so.

Mr. Britt has ignored our request for a meeting to discuss additional questions the JCPD has pertaining to the investigation,’’ Police Captain Edgar Martinez said.

According to Britt’s attorney, Britt is not a suspect in either the stabbing or a shooting that took place in the same area later on the same night. But after police arrested a man for the stabbing of Britt’s friend 10 days ago, they said they believed Britt could help with the ongoing investigation. That is apparently help Britt is unwilling to provide.
