I agree. I am sick of the whining BS of some of the posters on here about KPD and law enforcement in general. There are bad apples in EVERY profession. However, KPD is recognized as the best PD in the nation - highest rating. Period.

Most of the posters on here have no idea of how trained they are to avoid the appearance of not doing their jobs correctly. Most have no idea of the number of KPD officers that are VFLs that they cheered for in years past. Most posters have no idea of the excellent diversity of race, religion, etc. they have, much less the military backgrounds many have. Most have no idea that a player off this past year's team is going to their academy - who is a racial minority. I have no sense of humor over the trashing of the thin blue line that keeps each of you safe each night when your head hits the pillow.

The police got a call. They went and handled it. The chips will fall where they may. Ask yourselves if that is where Vol football players should be at 1-2 AM in the morning if they are serious about keeping their noses clean and representing the team and university in a good light. Is it more important to be a loud party where tensions rise as the night goes on - or getting rest and staying prepared for school and work-outs? I hope Butch runs them until they puke their guts out, then runs them again. If you understand your HC at all you know that he will not put up with this boys will be boys crap.

KPD is not the best in the nation. I don't even know how you can claim such a thing. Of the 6 cities I've lived in, Knoxville easily had the worst police force from my personal experience (I have never been arrested and didn't receive even a citation while in Knoxville).

I'm a white dude, so I have no idea about the racism claims. In KPD's defense, when there's a few 250lb, 6-4 build dudes in a physical altercation, some things are going to escalate regardless of race. Take note Danny O'Brien was booked too.

As for the players behavior - they are at a party they are throwing for a teammate's birthday party at a player's residence. They aren't out in the bars, they aren't drinking and driving, they apparently didn't have firearms, and weren't throwing bottles at cars & women - that's pretty damn clean in my book.

It doesn't list any charges for any of them. Not sure if that's a good sign or not.

Channel 10 news just announced that 3 UT players have been arrested, no names given.

If you never had a citation or been arrested, what would lead you to such claims?

You said its from personal experience. Did you see one kick a puppy?
