Arrested: General arrest thread Part II (Reuben Foster arrested, cut by 49ers 11/25)

[What the Faulk]

Cut already

 

[Blitzkrug]

I'm sure Bennett would appreciate that supposedly name clearing video his sister has any time now...

I also didn't realize they waited so long to bring this case forward. Bennett is still an ass (much like his brother) but i feel like i jumped to a conclusion too quick here.

Most of what's in the Deadspin article isn't being reported elsewhere, so that's understandable. The CNN article, for example, says the incident occurred in Feb 2017 but doesn't mention that they didn't even start "investigating" until September and says nothing about Acevedo's "morally corrupt" comments, which sure seem to give away the fact that he was looking to make Bennett a target because of his criticism of police officers. Both of these facts seem rather pertinent. Whether you like the guy or not, it's pretty f***ed up if it looks like what's happening here is actually happening.

Short cut for future grey area stories, though -- it's okay to reserve judgment until the full story comes out, or to change your opinion based on new evidence. And cheat mode: if you ever find yourself on the same side of an issue as BWC, you're probably gonna have a bad time.

Yeah, while I'm relieved that he's not our problem anymore something's amiss with this Bennett stuff.

Meanwhile, good riddance Boykin.

I'm sure they wanted to make sure they had the evidence they needed and have some sort of iron clad case. Last thing a DA wants to do is charge a famous athlete and either lose in court or not even make it there. Then the criticism gets amplified by X amount of people. Especially in this day and age and with someone who dislikes cops as much as Bennett does.

 

[Blitzkrug]

I don't buy that.

Could easily be a DA/cops with an agenda considering how the evidence in this case seems tenuous at best. Bennett already likely angered a lot of law enforcement people with his run in with the Vegas PD (even if he did fabricate some details in what was a kinda touchy situation) so this could be an attempt to actually prosecute him.

And if that's the case, then Bennett's claim of racial profiling, which was sketchy at first would be validated because of this dumb ass lawsuit.

Can't we all just get along? I'm Canadian and race relations tend to be good here, but god i'm sick of hearing about the constant struggle down south.

It's still flimsy as shit.

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Typical Texas.

 

[Jumptheshark]

it is both funny and sad we have this thread

 

[Voight]

It's still flimsy as ****.

It could be, although you'd think if his sis had this alleged video shed have released it by now. So far he's been smart to not say anything.

[Blitzkrug]

Wait, is this a different arrest now? It's actually so hard to keep up.

It is. What the **** man.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Cant Get Right threw away his career

[What the Faulk]

Dude is long past needing some serious help

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

That's impressive. Him walking in there, I mean.

If you've been drinking really heavily for days, you can still have a somewhat functional behavior (i.e. you don't pass out, can walk) even with a high blood alcohol content. Also kind of need your body to be conditioned to it with regular heavy drinking. With that high alcohol level you need monitoring though, did they just lock him up? The hangover must feel really awful both physically and mentally

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Jails have medical staff. They probably observed him and would have taken him to er if he needed it.

 

[MMC]

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Sigh. Gotta be smarter than that.

If she's bothering you tell her to leave or remove yourself. Can't put your hands on her or own illegal weapons.

 

[MMC]

 

[RoyIsALegend]

8-10 punches to the face/head, dragged by the hair, and physically thrown onto a driveway.

Isn’t she dead?

 

[Reality Check]

Foster is taking up where Greg Hardy left off

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

49ers should cut him

Even if the abuse allegations are false (Which I don't believe to be case) the gun part shows he is idiot enough
