17ing dumbass

Let's wait and hear the details. Starkville PD has a pretty notorious track record with regards to MSU athletes. They made sure Dak got arrested as well and he is certainly no dumbass.

Disorderly conduct ain’t ****.

My thing is, why is all the NCAA **** necessary in this article? Specifically the 21k.

Please don't invite me to join a discussion about law enforcement in that area. It's one of the prime reasons I will not move back to Starkville. All I will say is there were two boys I knew with pretty much the same charges concerning drugs, not violent and first offenses.

One got probation, the other six years.

The only difference really was one was from one family and one from another.

What in the hell does that last sentence have to do with the arrest? That is just bizarre.

I think it was the Sheriff's department

They either did us a solid by not making any driving related charges, or they were just being entitled dicks, or Leo was just being an entitled dick. Regardless, if this is the worst legal issue we have to deal with in the off season, that would be pretty nice.

So him not exiting the direction the cop was wanting him to is going to get his arrest on the statewide news outlets?

Sentencing is not law enforcement, its the legal system.

The kid who got probation never saw the court.

I know I am lumping them all together but there were other instances involving both in my forty years of living in Mississippi that tend to make me do so.

It is a fact the arresting officer in the Dak case was an Ole Miss fan. His Facebook profile was on here after it happened.

A judge and prosecutor signed off on that then..........

Yeah, I'm sure you are correct, and there is a lot I'm leaving out.

I just saw many, many people get screwed while others got of scott free. I know it happens everywhere, but there were themes to those get aways that pissed me off more than once.

That being said, for the most part, the law enforcement folks I have known in my life were good, hard working folks... the bad ones were just really bad.

LE in Starkville has always been shady. I lived through the Dolph Bryan years like most on here, he had an army. I could go on a rant about illegal search and seizures and making guys flip for no reason. One such case they scared this guy enough that he talked his friend into meeting him right next to a church to sell him a quarter ounce of weed, thus he was hit with a bigger charge.

OCSO had a barn jacket with a camera in a button. That jacket fooled a bunch of folks. Nothing beats the time a LEO or former stole a bunch of dope from evidence, hid it under this guys car in a magnetic box because he had a beef with him and called in a tip. Well they soon found out who planted the dope because some of it was still in evidence bags if I remember correctly.

Does that change the fact that Dak was drinking and driving?

Wasn't it later determined that there was no evidence he had been over the legal limit and that the cop had acted over-zealously, and the DUI was thrown out?

Do you realize how 17ing stupid that sounds?

Yea, on second thought a police officer has never made an arrest in this country when given the chance due to personal bias.**

And I didn't say it happened here just that it wouldn't surprise me. We are talking about arresting someone here for freakin' disorderly conduct of some kind. Nothing subjective about that.

Last time I checked, drinking and driving was not a crime. Having a blood alcohol level over a certain limit, then driving is a crime. Which is not what Dak had. Unfortunately, most people don’t have the brain power to dig deeper than the surface to get the facts.

Starkville PD and the entire justice system in the town is completely ******. Everybody agrees with that.

I think he refused a breathalyzer at the scene (smart) and the one administered at the jail was inconclusive.. That's not to say he was over the limit at the scene but smart to have that extra time just in case...
