Not true, in a situation like ass grabbing. But in mccoys, his crew initiated the fight. Theres a video somewhere. Its just well known you dont fuck with Philly officers. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk
It's just a sticky situation. With McCoy being famous he stands a little better chance than the average person. But that cop could make up the biggest bullshit lie and you could very well be looking at assaulting an officer. Whether it will stand in court, probably not. But who knows.
I just dont like Mccoy. Im down in South jersey and i know enough people who have dealt with him when he was out in about in Philly, besides that whole no tip thing, i heard other stories that make me inclined to believe he definitely instigated and participated in this brawl. My dislike for him started long before the Bills had him. Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk
I thought a police officer had to identify himself first, for any charges of assaulting an officer to stick? I understand assault can be charged to anyone in a fight, but it would be screwed up if you did not know he was an officer and were hit with that charge. Cops lie all the time, they are just as human as everyone else.
I'm not entirely sure. It's all very situational I would say. Not to mention the laws can differ per state. On top of that there is also the local level. But the issue would be what constitutes identifying yourself as an officer? Saying "I'm an officer" or having to present a badge? They can spin it however they want. Especially when they are together at a bar looking to flex their authority. McCoy and crew could have been the instigators. I'm not sure what went on but in these situations its never good to get tangled up with a cop off-duty, especially in the city.
I hate to bring race into it, but this could end up being an extremely high profile case. Think about all that has happened in the news with police officers shooting unarmed civilians over the past couple years. The media is going to do their best to turn this into high profile famous black athlete vs. white police officers, when it should really be man vs. man. It's going to be interesting to see how this all shakes out.
How does it work with an off-duty police officer though? Can it still be assaulting an officer if he was unarmed and in plain clothed while off-duty?
Like if you smack around an off duty nun that isn't wearing her habit. It's not THAT bad, right? I mean, who knew? _
You talk about the media making it a black vs white thing when it was you who did it. All parties involved were black. A simple reading of the police report shows that. It also shows that all 4 of them jumped the 1 officer and then his friend stepped in to break it up and also got injured. On Sunday, February 7, 2016, at approximately 2:45am, the Complainants were inside a Nightclub located at 1XX S. 2nd Street. An argument ensued as to the ownership of a bottle of Champaign, which led to pushing and shoving. At this point all below Suspects, engaged in a physical altercation with Complainant#1 who was then punched and knocked to the ground. While on the ground he was punched, kicked and stomped about his body and head multiple times by all four Suspects. Complainant#2 and security guards intervened and broke up the attack and all parties were ejected from the club. Complainant#1 transported himself to the Hospital where he was treated for a laceration to his right eye, broken nose, broken ribs, and a sprained thumb. Complainant#2, was admitted to the Hospital where he received eight stitches over his left eye and is currently receiving treatment for a possible skull fracture. The four suspects were subsequently identified through photographs by the complainants and by the security guards. Video surveillance was recovered from the outside of the club which shows both parties being ejected from the club; however, the incident itself wasn’t captured on video. The investigation is active and ongoing; all updates will be sent upon availability. Complainant #1: 40yrs old B/M off Duty Philadelphia Police Officer Complainant #2: 40yrs old B/M, off duty Philadelphia Police Officer. Suspect #1: 27yrs old B/M Suspect #2: 30yrs old B/M Suspect #3: 27yrs old B/M Suspect #4: 26yrs old B/M The complainants in this incident were off duty Philadelphia Police Officers and the Suspect are reported to be members of the National Football League.
For the purposes of the narrative, assume yes. If they were black someone needs to make up a different narrative. I'm kind of hoping the off duty cops were chinks or spics. Or dentites. _
Yeah, couldn't decide which Seinfeld quote to go with. This one was pretty good too. “You’re a rabid anti-dentite! Oh, it starts with a few jokes and some slurs. “Hey, denty!” Next thing you know you’re saying they should have their own schools.”
