If it implicates the players, then I think it would be a slight tarnish on our season after the fact.

Does this mean you would rather not see it, regardless of how the season went?

Hypothetically speaking... If you knew someone who has the alleged incident on video, would you report it? Or would you wait until the conclusion of the 2011/2012 season, then come forward?


Wait for JJ to win heisman then blackmail him for a large sum of his signing bonus. :crosses fingers:

This quote by the same person in the same article says otherwise

"We don't want to arrest somebody unfairly. We don't want to accuse somebody unfairly. We want to make sure we have all the facts before we proceed," White said.

No this means I would rather get it out before the season so we can wash the bad taste out as soon as possible. No need to bring up bad blood after its all said and done. My apologies for being slightly ambiguous.

I honestly believe thy they aren't putting as much into this investigation as they're making it out to be. People keep asking about it and they're not going to say "eh, we'll just wait until someone ha any evidence before we let this thing go". The incident is spotlighted by the media more than the police IMO.

That could be because there is virtually no evidence other than the statements of several drunk people.

He did say that, but followed up with the "if we had video, we would just arrest the FB players"

Hes convinced the FB players will be arrested, just wants to make sure its the right ones, IMHO

White said investigators would be further along if there was more evidence rather than speculation and conflicting reports. "If we had conclusive evidence where we had video tape from an iPhone or something of that nature, it wouldn't be necessary [to investigate further]. We would go ahead and draw up the warrants and arrest the football players and book them," White said






There have been so many statements that I am sure White's investigators are shaking their heads.You have people saying JJ never threw a punch and tried to break up the fight.Jordan's dad said he spoke with Jordan and Jordan said he didn't know about any fight.(Nola.com)This could boil down to a he said, she said, situation that ends in a wash.Just a tragic situation for all involved that never should have occurred in the first place if people make right choices to follow rules.

Watch the whole interview.

The Chief is doing his job. He's treating it like any other case; it's the media attention that makes it seem otherwise to the novice.

IMO, they have not handled this with the professionalism expected of a major metropolitan police department. I realize the media firestorm associated with an incident like this.
