Looks like they picked the wrong guy to put on the cover of the 2011 Cyclone Club membership guide I got in the mail today.
 
Maybe it is the cops I've ran into or have been around, but they have acted opposite of ****s in many occasions.

I know cops that are very good people and are in it for the right reasons...not all cops are ****s. I get that and I thank god for all of them. But there is not a single profession that is filled with as many arrogant, power hungry, straight up ******** than police officers. Its just the way it is..accept it or not.

Agreed. I know good cops, but there's definitely a high percentage of **** cops out there.

Starting to see a trend in some places where officers are having to wear cameras to record their time on duty. Looking forward to this happening everywhere, it will hold them a lot more accountable (and if they somehow 'lose' their video, their word is held a lot less credible)

Probably should sit for the UNI game. Anything beyond that would be dumb. I'm not even sure sitting the UNI game is called for. Dude has a clean record and we have no idea how this charge came to be. If all he did was act like a **** to a cop I say no games. Let's be honest...most cops are ****.[/QUOTE]

I hate this attitude. Grow up.
As a good general rule: The highly intelligent natural leaders in this country do not aspire to or actually become police officers. The one state police officer, I know personally, was the kid everybody picked on in my high school class. I think it is often a repressed power issue being played out in real life. Not always of course.

I think there are those like that, but you might find that in other places where people try to attain authority. The cops I know in Chicago are not like that at all, of course in Chicago you actually have to deal with crime.

Let's hope you're never in a position where you actually need one of those lowly knuckle draggers who chose to be a police officer to help you or possibly even save your life. Perhaps, instead, you can call one of those highly intelligent natural leaders to come to your rescue.

Here's a new one. If you don't want to get arrested, obey the law.

It's amazing how many familiar rationalizations I see in this thread! I keed, I keed :jimlad:

Seriously, I don't think it's THAT big of a deal. There really are a lot of **** cops, especially in college towns. From what I read, Ames' cops aren't too good. I know Iowa City's suck. And my parents told me about how cops in Indianola would camp out by the public park right across the street from the Simpson dorms on the weekends, because as soon as a drunk student walked into the park, they were fair game.

College towns give those "repressed-anger" cops the best chance to exact "revenge". It's a turkey shoot for that kind of thing.

No offense, but I think that's a pretty cynical world view. I know a few cops too, and I wouldn't consider any of them bullies or powermongers. If anything, the one cop you point out could be the exception that proves the rule.
 
Funny how all the hawks swarm this thread. I guess we could learn something from them, being they have a bit of experience in the "athletes in trouble" department.
 
Ya, **** the police, right Easy-E?

What can I say, I got it bad because I'm brown.

In all reality, I'm not much like Easy-E - mainly because I've never gotten AIDS.

If by "swarm this thread" you mean 2 posts, then yeah, you would be correct. :wink:

Heck, the poster right before you did not comment on the subject of the arrest, just the post about applauding assaulting Ames PD members.

Funny how I was agreeing with many of the posters here, that this really isn't a huge deal, and that cops in general (at least in college towns) are ****s. Because it's not, and they are.

I apologize for not fitting your cookie-cutter for a Hawk fan.

Not just an attitude. In ames its damn near the truth.

Whatever...you reap what you sow

No one can convince me that cops arrest you just because. I've been there and seen it all and the guy that gets arrested always deserves it for one reason or another.
 
who cares. let them play-i'm tired of losing "the right way". as if because we have such a moral standard it makes losing okay or better. **** that noise-i'm tired of losing.
 
I don't get it. I would have given anything to have had D1 talent. Why do these kids risk all the rewards that talent can give?
