just askin'.

...and I'm guessing a judge might read it that way, too.

The off-duty cop may have overreacted, too. Odd why he would moonlight as a bouncer.

and take their "authority of law" with them wherever they go...wherever.

At least you read about that quite a bit..

"...when an off-duty Houston police officer working security..."

when was the last time you heard of a regular civilian pushing an off-duty cop (hell, an off duty police DOG) and not get charged with assaulting an officer?

He was a good RB for the Chicago Bears at the time and he got arrested mainly for being black on a yacht I guess because charges were later dropped. I wonder if this may be something similar?
Peterson will likely pay the fine and get suspended by the czar of football, Goodell for four games.

you wait until the facts are sorted out.

He was arrested for... resisting arrest.

The other information is from a police report and even when coPs don't need to bullshit on a police report, they do anyways.

(Peterson's attorney Rusty) Hardin said Monday afternoon that his client should have never been charged.

"We have been investigating what happened since Saturday afternoon, and it is absolutely clear to me that the charges should not have been filed, and the Bayou Club owes Adrian an apology for having put out a totally false version of what happened," Hardin said. "Adrian Peterson does not act the way he has been described in the initial reports, and he did not act that way Saturday morning. He was only in that club for 30 to 40 minutes, was never objectionable to other patrons, and never physically resisted any police officer."

Hardin expanded on his statement to ESPN's Anderson, saying witnesses will back Peterson's side of the argument.

"There are going to be non-police witnesses that are going to be very credible that are going to say that he never pushed, shoved, or touched a police officer," Hardin said.

Peterson's father, Nelson, told the St. Paul Pioneer Press earlier Monday that his son sustained a black eye during the incident and said the first off-duty officer used "vulgar language" and was "disrespectful" when asking the running back to leave the area.

Hardin said, "...any suggestion that (Peterson) pushed, struck or shoved a Houston Police Officer is a total fabrication ..."

Oh wait...he really did hire that guy!!!

He has never been a hot head. I think someone wanted a scene to happen, and it wasn't Adrian.

If they cannot handle it, then seek counseling.
