questions about Brandon Marshall’s allegations of police wrongdoing
Fox News ^ | Sept. 20, 2016 | Julie Hayden

The (Miami police) department said it does not have any reports on an arrest or contact with Marshall.

When asked if Marshall had any plans to file a complaint or internal affairs report with Miami police, the spokeswoman referred us to him or his agent. Neither have responded for comment.

Either the Miami PD are covering up, or Mr. Marshall is telling a lie. In either case, my hope is the simple truth is discovered.

Something like the incident Marshall claims happened would have witnesses and most likely video on someone’s phone. Sounds pretty farfetched to me.

I live in the Denver area and Marshall’s claims were the topic on the radio this morning. The host was rightly thrilled that the claims by Marshall was even being questioned in the first place rather than taken as Gospel simply because he said it.

And you’re right, it does sound rather farfetched.

Clearly someone is lying and because the stakes are fairly high, I think there should be an investigation. If BM is telling the truth, then there are a couple officers that need to reprimanded. If BM is lying, then he should be shamed and humiliated. The simple truth is all that’s needed.

I’ve been handcuffed and never arrested. There’s probably no mention of that in any sheriff’s department report either.

I guess the thing here is to not jump to conclusuions about someone’s experience with law enforcement just because you and no one you know has ever had such an experience.

Try growing up the daughter of two meth heads and getting constantly trolled by everyone with a badge because they think you’ll be holding and will be an easy collar. Or you just get handcuffed when the deputies show up to search the apartment you live in.

It’s a huge reason I don’t miss California. I had to get used to the Park County (Wy) Sheriff’s dept. because they’re genuinely awesome people and they’re always friendly and respectful to me and my new family.

I guess that’s what has made me all the more intolerant of bad cops is that I know what good cops are like and there’s no excuse for the other departments to act any other way.

Last Monday I had outpatient surgery and had a bad reaction to the anesthesia. It made my behavior a little erratic. My wife was concerned and called the Dr. He told her to call the paramedics.

Here in Yuma County Az the Sherriff’s dept responds along with the ambulance. I had no idea any of this was going on. When the ambulance and the Sherriff’s deputies arrive they come in the house and talk to me. I’m sitting on the couch at the time. The paramedics evaluate me and tell me I should go to urgent care and get checked out and I don’t need to go to the hospital. I was cool with it. They leave and the deputies stay.

They start asking me questions; where I was born, where I work. I was agitated but cooperative. Then they talk to my wife and she tells them she was concerned because I wasn’t myself. She told them I walked into the coffee table and knocked it over before she called. Well that was it, I was asked to stand up and turn around, at which time they cuffed me. My wife kept telling them I hadn’t done anything wrong but they didn’t listen to her. I was arrested for Disorderly Conduct and taken to jail.

In court the next day The judge was pissed that I was even there. He couldn’t believe I had been arrested and had to spend the night in jail. He threw out the charge on the spot and released me.

Unfortunately I had to self report to our Security Manager because I hold a clearance and was arrested. So now I have to deal with that crap for the next month.
I am still puzzled as to why I was arrested.

“I am still puzzled as to why I was arrested.”

Which makes you and I “cop haters” according to some people because we don’t believe in the papal infallibility of everyone who happens to wear a badge.

Maybe these people need to give up their guns since they’re protected by such amazing and moral guardians of the public good.

You and I both know better.

FRegards,

Megan

Perfect example why you should NEVER talk to the police.

Simply explain you have nothing to say, respectfully decline to make any comment.

I realize in your compromised state that you would not have thought they would over-react to a MEDICAL issue, but there you are. A victim of over-zealous police “work”.

I have used this tactic on many occasions including traffic violation stops and sobriety checkpoints. I recently had a Community Police Officer knock on my front door to introduce himself and discuss problems that I might have noticed in my neighborhood. I calmly stated that I will certainly call the police if necessary, said thanks and closed the door while he protested and continued to try and engage me.

“Anything you say CAN and WILL be used against you”.
Make that your mantra!

questions about Brandon Marshall’s allegations of police wrongdoingIs it too much to ask the poster to identify what a Brandon Marshall is?

Imagine a newspaper or TV news which required you to use a link to identify the freakin' subject of a headline!

Total fail.

Public Stupidity without a license. All players are at fault. The medical procedure providers, and both you AND your wife.

I have NEVER experienced or heard of any person subject to total anesthesia for a medical procedure, who is released without being able to act normally, NO MATTER HOW LONG IT TAKES!

Of course if anger issues are present due to illegal drugs or whatever, when you are not under the effect of legal anesthesia, all bets are off.

Me too. As a kid, like 100 years ago. A bunch of us were screwing around late at night in a park (ok...it was a cemetery), the cops showed up and I happened to match a description of someone they were looking for. ~5 of us kids and the 2 cops zeroed in on me immediately. Once they realized I was a large ~14 y/o kid, and not the guy...done. Easy. They yelled at us and sent us home. The guy they were looking for was apparently dangerous. My Dad’s response....’why were you there?...dumba$$...’.

I was not put into a police car, however.
I was not driven off in that police car.
I damn sure didn’t resist. Scared the crap out of me.
