The "show us what ya got" is called probable cause and is what the police had in order to arrest. Probable cause is > (symbol!!) 50%. You're asking for evidence of much more than that. Do you really think that BRPD would arrest JJ days after a bar fight and search warrant after the incident made national media if they didn't have a strong case? The charge was second degree battery. The fact that this case was investigated so thoroughly for a bar fight and resulted in an arrest for second degree battery suggests to me that BRPD is pretty sure of what they found.

For letting him play football.. he's been arrested on a felony count and is awaiting trial. Miles would be disrespecting the team and fans if he did that. I take my kids to games.

This happens in court, not a police station.

No.

Probable cause is not greater than 50%.

Probable cause is merely "reasonable belief." That's it.

Probable cause only means that the police just have to have a "reasonable belief" that Jefferson committed a crime.

It can be based upon one person's allegations.
