It makes you wonder how many NFL players' run-ins with the law are a result of their own behavior vs. minor things blown out of proportion by cops. I'd bet a lot of cops froth at the lips at the thought of being able to take down a pro athlete.
I just happen to have rewatched boyz n the hood the other day; its interesting how a couple of the concepts are relevant here. First, the black cop in the movie paints a perfect picture of the cops GMScud described, and second, I think its worth noting that in general, the background of many NFL players instill a distrust of law enforcement. You know, with the whole "stop snitchin" thing...
