Everyone here harps on Ray Lewis. If you consider Leonard Little and Dwayne Goodrich, the body count board is UT-3, the "U"-2, with both Vols being found culpable for the deaths, while Ray simply plead guilty to charges related to his conduct with the police. Both defendants charged with the actual murders were acquitted.

If there is a murder, people want to see someone brought to justice. If he was protecting someone (AND I DON'T KNOW IF HE WAS) from being prosecuted for that, then thats not going to sit well with the public, regardless of who it is.

In Texas it is required, and was required 20 years ago when I was there. It is a means to "visual" a vehicle as it approaches and something to use if "caution" is needed.

However, the more suspicious part of the argument is why after 5 years in Texas, Weary is driving a Monte Carlo SS w/o front plates. Should he be up to an Escalade or something. That's a big boy for a MCSS.

well I read it was an Impala SS? anyways, so if i drive my little ole Corolla through Texas do I get pulled over because I'm still registered through Tennessee and I only have the one rear tag? I'm in school here in Va, been here for a year now and have yet to get pulled over because i look suspicious w/ only one tag. (note, VA has same two tag rule)

I'll leave what everyone here thinks to, "everyone". As for me, I'm disinclined to hang grown mens deeds in life after college on the school and coach for which they played.
When Michael Irvin found himself having to explain how drugs that were in his car belonged to a friend he was helping get to rehab, my first thought was not... "There goes another guy from the "U".

But maybe that's just me.

That is the way that it should be looked at, but most of the time a person who is in trouble with the law is associated with their alma mater in an attempt to disgrace said school by rivals fans. Just my .02.

I'm not interjecting judgement on this. I'm far from the issue. Just based on the report, he was cruising a high crime red alert area, supposedly in a suspicious manner, and had only one tag. That's what they used to check him out. The smart thing would have been to comply, then file complaints and roast them if it was indeed profiling. The irony of my humor was more geared to hte fact that he has been around there a while, knows to have 2 tags, makes a bunch of money, and cruises a $25,000 chevy in a high crime area. Who cruises the hood in a stock chevy SS.

point taken... but does he actually live in the Houston area, or just reside there during season while consider his home to be somewhere else outside of TX, thus having outside tags. plus my immediate thought was that w/ his money he's riding in a restored, pimped out 64 impala SS. I dunno about Houston, but I know in Norfolk it's next to impossible to not have to drive through the high crime areas at some point to get from A to B

A lot of people in Texas ride around without a front tag. A LOT.

I didn't see many front plateless cars during my time there in the Houston area. Bottom line is be sassy to cops is not going to get on the Nice List.

I'm pretty sure that if you were driving through TX in a car that is registered in another state that only requires a rear-mounted license plate (like TN) you would be okay under the Full Faith and Credit Clause. Now that I've heard the allegations about being in a high crime area and acting suspiciously it makes more sense. Here in the Nashville area I know several parts of town where I could drive around right now with a tail light out and probably would not get pulled over. If I did the same thing at 3am on a Fri or Sat. night I'd be pulled in a heartbeat because they'd assume I was a DUI candidate in that area at that time.

There is something not right to me about some of this.

If Fred Weary really wanted to hit a female cop I imagine she would wake-up in the hospital missing some teeth. He could do some serious damage if he wanted to.

2nd where is the probably cause for pulling his car over in the first place?

They think his car looked suspicious? If a cop car pulled me over for no reason, I wouldn't be pleased either. I'm not defending shoving a police officer, but what happened to probable cause?

And where is all the evidence for initially pulling his car over in the first place?

I think the reports now are that he didn't hit her, he just "moved" towards her and then she shocked him.

Thing is this was at 1 pm during the day a few blocks from the stadium.

They said they seen him in an area where there was "suspicious criminal activity". The front plate was a reason to pulled him over but not the main reason they wanted to pull him over.

You get verbally combative with cops and stuff like this happens.

They were behind his vehicle, the front plate issue was added after they pulled him over.

Thanks for the extra info.

So basically at 1 pm during the the middle of the day a few blocks from the stadium, they pull over a "suspicious" car.

Then when Weary steps out of the car and toward the officer she tasers him.

Then they search his car, and the only reason they can come up with for pulling his car over is he doesn't have a front license plate.

How sad is that?

The word "yelling" was not used in the AP writeup. However, they did indicate he was agitated and wanted to know why he had been pulled over. And its also curious that if the police were doing such a great job, why did they let him off with a misdemeanor?

Agitated is a nice way of saying raised voice which is nice way of saying yelling.

Maybe yes, maybe no. Agitated could mean only what his body language was. Really no way of knowing. The lady felt threatened, and used the force available to her to ensure her safety.
We may never know the truth of it....

tasered is spelled with an S and not a Z?

thanks for the correction.

apparently, he was pulled over for no front plate. he was asked to get out the car and came out swinging on the female cop.
