A man of the people. Prison changes you. I’m just glad he’s turning his life around.

Petty in its finest form.

It’s basically what the entire south has done with the civil war, so it works

I bet I could write an article to support that the pope chose not to eat at a particular restaurant in Rome. You know… after what the Romans did to Christ…

Yeah, watching it live there was no animosity whatsoever in this.

But I was a little bummed that he did not take the opportunity to call the city “Lewis-ville” like he did in his press conference after the arrest stuff was settled.

@Kelby
Hilarious :joy: I had a literal LOL moment this morning watching it. Then it went into small chat about his time in jail.

it wasn’t necessarily niceness.

trying to bring charges against a cop is always going to be tough, and being successful even more so. he could probably have out a lot of resources into it and might even have won. but would it be worth it? he probably spend as much or more in lawyer fees compared to what he won.

i mean, i wish he had. but it just wasn’t going to happen. Scottie doesn’t seem that progressive.

He would have won. Pretty easily.

But not litigating it was key to an immediate release and dropped charges.

The problem is, what is he winning? IANAL, but you can’t just say, “what they did was wrong”. You have to say, “what they did was wrong, and this is how it negatively impacted me, so they need to make me whole”.

Maybe he could get damages for prize money since he played so bad on Saturday? But considering his round on Friday right after it would have been tougher. He hasn’t been hurt from a PR perspective.

It would be cool if you could sue the department to fire the guy, but that’s not really a thing.

By that logic I can go, pull you out of your car, detain you, and as long as I let you go, then it’s all square?

I mean me as an average joe

No. The whole point is that the system protects cops

37

@Teo
Sure does. I’ve watched a cop lie under oath about taking cash off of a friend of mine while arresting him. He made out with $700 cash and said there was no cash on any of us. Some cops are really good criminals that just have the law on their side.

From a civil standpoint, which is the only way I can actually sue you? Yes.

You could still face criminal prosecution for kidnapping, but it’s the legal system that has to do that.

Ya but for what gain? It’s nowhere close to worth Scottie’s time.
