Right, this cop was in civilian clothes. I wonder at what point a badge was presented?

Does this whole thing read a little like the story of the two black kids being surrounded by the plain clothes state troopers in the Quarter for standing next to a wall, only to have one of their mother's walk up and identify herself as a NOPD officer, and then all the staties simply walked away?

Obviously, let's wait & hope that we get the accurate and detailed account of this incident, but this is not a very good way for Rickey Jefferson to handle himself around authorities.

If there are other problems (for Rickey's sake and LSU's sake, we hope not of course!) is this the opportunity to sign Jeremy Cutrer, who according to another thread, has a chance to qualify academically and is retaking the test?

I love how any time cops get caught out abusing power or not following protocol they immediately go to the "we thought he had a gun", and most of the public just eats that shite up.

I like how he hid it so well, during a chase no less, that thousands of people on a well lit parade route couldn't find it. Pretty clutch.

Meh. Doubt the kids in the Quarter could afford a defense attorney that won't clear his throat until he's got $100K retainer deposited.

If it's worth giving your life up, go for it. I hope RJ was willing to get arrested and put his scholarship in jeopardy for his buddies.

Woodward and Bernstein didn't break any laws in reporting on Nixon. RJ, allegedly, was resisting arrest. He could have always fought the misjustices by the cop with legal action.

There are a bunch of decisions Les has made that have been questioned and for the most part I have been able to see both sides. The decision to continue the connection to this family though is just piss poor. He should be shown the door now and open a slot for a player with a higher chance of actually making a full season without arrest.

Maybe we should wait and see how this plays out? What if they find out the cops were in the wrong and charges are dropped? But no, lets kill the kid now. He obviously is a criminal because he is black and his last name is Jefferson. Just maybe it was one of these… or not. But I'm willing to wait and see…

LOL

Maybe when Les scouts high school players he should have a "likeliness to get arrested" measurement to go along with 40 time and GPA.

because he is black


No need for this. I agree 100% that because this kid is Jordan's brother that many here don't want him, but this is not a race issue amongst the fan base. Many LSU fans are tired of the entire Jefferson family and the Les Miles love affair with them.

Disagree, hence all the "you can take the thug out of the ghetto" and the like comments. Some, not all, immediately damn this kid because he is black. They just veil the racism...

ETA: I personally hate the "racism card", but sometimes this site makes me sick to my stomach.
