Full quote from Andy Reid on Willie Gay: "I decided he’d play. I’m not going to get into the conversations. I’m not going to do that. I decided that after just hearing some of the information that I heard." https://t.co/muFit5wkAn

They could have issued him a summons and made him leave to appear in court later.
But arrest him? Think it sounds a little heavy handed.
Christ, in San Fran you can steal $800 and get a summons.
Well...
Emaw posted earlier that LEO's in KS can get arrested themselves if they fail to respond "properly" to a potential DV situation. So yeah, seems a bit harsh. [Reply]

Seems like arrest first and investigate later.
It absolutely is.
I'm not saying this is, or will be, the case with Willie Gay but the person I know was actually charged with some kind of petty vandalism by the cops and then the DA added the DV charge later. [Reply]

I have another acquaintance who was convicted of public intox with an added public urination charge. He's on the sex offender registry for the rest of his life. [Reply]

The man was flipping out on TV after a Chiefs touchdown. You don't find it possible that his behavior might have been pretty erratic and scary to the mom while he was breaking shit in the house? If she felt the need to call the cops to protect her son, she shouldn't be blamed for that. [Reply]

If someone broke down your door to give you a sales pitch would you call the cops? When someone is breaking things you’re justified to be a little more worried for your own safety. Especially if the person breaking stuff is an NFL linebacker. [Reply]

Like I said earlier, I know someone who was not only arrested and charged but convicted of a DV charge because he punched a wall within a few feet of his girlfriend, with whom he was fighting.
Because I'm fairly certain that shit escalates most of the time. [Reply]
