Joey Porter arrested in California

CRedskinsRule

So again the question goes to how many times this happens when it's NOT high profile, and would charges have been dropped then? hmmm

It seems obvious to me that Porters celebrity got him out of this one.

I'm sure most people saw this, especially those of you who are local. These effing cops should go to jail.

Bet they didn't know the victim's grandfather is a retired a judge. Oops. Buncha bullies. I really just don't care for the police.

It is well documented that a lot of PG cops are criminals with a badge. They employ several murderers, in fact, they promote them.

This guy got off easy compared to a lot of their victims.

GMScud

Yup. Reason number 327 that I avoid PG county like the plague.

Yep

"Griffiths says the beating is only half the story. This is the sworn statement of charges against McKenna by the police alleges assault on a police officer and disorderly conduct. It claims McKenna "struck those officers and their horses causing minor injuries," and that McKenna was "kicked by the horses and sustained minor injuries.""

Every single cop that was present and did not report what happened should be fired.

You are right but it won't happen. This is nothing compared to what PG cops have done in the past.

GMScud

Agree. The fact that this beating happened is just awful, compound that with the lies told in the police reports and this whole thing becomes a catastrophe. That kid did nothing. Absolutely nothing. This is Rodney King style shit. That video angers me big time. I hope those cops get some serious assault charges thrown in their direction.

I was watching the late local news tonight, and a spokesman from the PG police department said he wanted everyone to know that they received threats of violence via telephone from all over the country. Awww. Poor PG PD. I feel so sorry for you that someone called your department with a threat. My heart breaks for you. Scumbags.

Yeah, imagine how often this shit happens when it's not on camera. Kicked by a horse? come on.. at least be realistic.

Yeah who cares if they received threats of violence, they beat up a defenseless kid. You're cops, you protect people (or are supposed to) including yourselves. They deserve some violence back at them.

PG cops deal with plenty of violence daily, that place is a war zone. The problem is that they can kill you and get away with it, and they wouldn't think twice.

DC chillin' PG chillin' my name wale and I came to get it

GMScud

Well, we already know they're belligerent bullies, but the fact that those cops put that in a police report is downright frightening. Not only do you have violent, pathological liars sporting your badge and gun, but they are dumb as a box of rocks as well. Pretty scary.
