If what he’s saying is true, why do you have an issue with him putting the cops in blast?

Shouldn’t they be?

Wait, now it’s if? Last page you said he got screwed. Do you actually know something or are you just rushing to judgement?

I think the saddest thing is that he was worried about telling them he was a LSU football player.

It's one thing to no longer get special treatment because you are an LSU football player (ahhh, how I long for the good old days sometimes).

But it is another when you think that might cause you extra trouble. In my mind, and I could very well be reading the situation wrongly, he believes that if he had told them that he is an LSU player, they would go the extra mile to find a reason to arrest him.


Read it again, he did tell them he played for LSU. His font screws with the letters. Can't believe people are taking this at face value and not even thinking that if this happened could there have been a valid reason this occurred.

I’m just trying to reason with you.

So answer the question.

Just addressing your issue with making this public without filing a complaint.

If he has a grievance then he should file a report. That’s the proper mechanism, not social media. Haven’t we seen enough violence from people rushing to judgement over social media?

Citizens are filmed all the time and incriminate themselves all the time in public places!


By the way I hate DUI Checkpoints and all things that monitor me but I'm also willing to except the bad things that can happen when these things are not in place.

I don't think he got screwed. Getting screwed would be if they beat the shite out of him in the process of finding out he wasn't the guy they were looking for.

Did they pull their weapons on an innocent guy? Looks that way.

But if this is connected to a homicide, like the one at the Lark apartments, and there's an armed guy on the loose who has already killed the police are going to be amped, but hopefully in control. An armed killer on the run is both a police AND public safety issue.

So did he get the shite scared out of him? Yep.
Did the cops do the right thing? Nope, wrong guy.
Did they do the wrong thing? Nope- they didn't shoot him or physically attack him.
Should they be pulling their guns on people who semi-fit a description of a killer on the run? Hell yeah. What if he carjacks your sister in an effort to continue running.

IF this is connected to a known homicide the cops are absolutely warranted in extraordinary but legal measures. They assumed Koy might be the guy. But they didn't assume Koy was the guy. Life ain't perfect. Scared and alive is much better than bold and dead.

I thjnk He is fully within his rights to put the BRPD on boat. Public transparency is a good thing.

We’ve seen how police department hurt reports and complaints.

If the police have a report of an armed male and you fit the description then, yes, dumbass they are going to approach you with weapons drawn. That is basic tactics. Should they shoot you, no, but they have to evaluate the threat. If you don’t act like an idiot it usually works out.

There are definitely cases of police overreacting and abusing their power but Koy’s case doesn’t seem like one of them.

You understand the law doesn’t require
Them to film themselves though.

Being caught by a Security Camera is different than the government requiring us to video our own cars.

Although I would Strongly recommend car video for accident purposes.

You know his how? It must be true because he is an LSU fan?

I could claim multiple times I was profiled, but I don’t assume it is. I got pulled over for speeding and when reaching for my cell phone the cop got nervous and told me to put my hands up.

I didn’t assume it was because of the color of my skin, but if I was one of these kids apparently that’s what I am told to believe. It can’t be the cops being nervous given the circumstances, it absolutely has to be racism.

This is the problem here. I don’t care if you play for LSU. That doesn’t mean I HAVE to believe your version without question. Some of you, on the other hand, buy it entirely and are certain the dirty cops are out to kill young black men.

Joe Biden is president and all of the racist statues are gone. I’m sure this is just a misunderstanding.

Don’t know about y’all but I’ve been pulled over many times in my day. Mainly for some type of traffic violation but worse case was suspicion of DWI while a student at LSU.

Never once have I had a police officer draw their weapon on me or those riding with me. And this includes one incident in which a friend of mine had pot on them (which was ultimately confiscated by the police).

Assuming the cops did, in fact, draw their weapons on K. Moore, I really hope they had probable cause to respond in this manner, bc that is an awfully forceful and dangerous manner to respond. To me, it comes off as an excessive response to the majority of reasons for pulling someone over.

Now we’re going to get some answers.

LSU and Baton Rouge Police Department officials are both investigating an incident in which wide receiver Koy Moore claimed Sunday he was "violated numerous times" by police officers.

When people get used to preferential treatment, equal treatment feels like discrimination. -Thomas Sowell

Koy was so outraged he didn’t contact BRPD supervisors the night the incident happened.

Koy was so outraged he didn’t file an online complaint against the Officers.

Koy was so outraged he didn’t notify his position coaches of the incident for help.

Koy was so outraged he didn’t notify his head coach of the incident for help.

But Koy, in all his fear, was able to run to social media and make broad claims that he “could have almost lost his life” over 12 hours after the Incident.

Give me a fricking break kid. The fake outrage and fragility of some of these opportunist is insulting and the sooner we force them to defend their allegations the quicker they will finally gain some credibility.

I do agree that Koy could have lost his life last night, but the greater risk would have come from his peers than any Police Officers in Baton Rouge. 96 murders and counting. None have been unjustified by the men and women of BRPD.

And yes, body camera undoubtedly likely exists. Let’s put all the cards on the table and see where the chips fall.

ETA: Allegedly failed to take these actions. I may or may not know anything. You decide.

Completely agree with this, bc it leads all of us to rush to judgment (myself included) without knowing the facts. This is particularly sad given the current climate in which we are living!
