Witnesses: police, not Tide player, aggressors in weekend incident
Relatively speaking, the weekend arrest of Alabama true freshman Tony Brown was one of those run-of-the-mill incidents involving college students and campus law enforcement that follows the standard formula: party + 18-22 year olds + alcohol + police = brouhaha and/or imbroglio. This incident in Tuscaloosa, however, is in the early stages of taking on a life of its own.
.
.
.
In that release, the TPD stated that “police responded to reports of a loud party involving underage drinking at an area apartment complex just after midnight Sunday morning.” As one partygoer who was placed under arrest was being put into a police cruiser, the crowd in general and “Brown specifically continued to be a problem.” The 18-year-old Brown was ultimately hit with pepper spray, arrested and charged with failure to obey and resisting arrest.
That was the TPD’s version of events. Suffice to say, the eyewitness accounts vary greatly. From Casagrande’s post, with an eyewitness accusing one of the police officers of pulling a gun as Brown was in the fetal position, exacerbating the situation:
Jaison Davis, 23 from Atlanta, said Brown was never threatening to the two police officers, who responded to a noise complaint at Campus Way, an off-campus student apartment complex. The party was attended by mostly Alabama track and field team members, Davis and other witnesses said.
They say Brown and a few other guests turned to leave immediately after officers pulled out the pepper spray. Brown walked approximately 30-40 yards to his car with an officer following behind, they said. The officer walked beside Brown and pepper sprayed Brown in the face as the athlete was complying with the command to leave, said Davis who only briefly met Brown before Saturday night. …
Brown immediately fell to the ground in a fetal position, Davis said, as the officer pulled his gun. The crowd, which had been relatively calm to that point, was more tense after the pepper spray was used and when the gun came out, Davis said.
Sharper said everyone moved away fast when they saw the gun.
Davis went on to claim that there are at least five cell-phone videos of the incident. Another eyewitness, 20-year-old Chris Thomas, told al.com that “the police officer appeared to become more aggressive when witnesses pulled out camera phones to capture video of the encounter.”

Exactly.
Poorly trained police let loose on an unsuspecting public is a recipe for players needlessly missing halves of football games against directional Louisiana teams. It's just such a needless tragedy.
Contrast that with a well trained municipality like say Tallahassee where they would have used just the right amount of non lethal force necessary to ensure the property manager was educated on the many dangers of calling police on university athletes. Here now you have the proper balance between an educated civilian population and an eligible athletic population.
Easy peezy, one slightly dented set of civilian shins in return for God fearin' season ticket holders getting to see the best players on the field for the whole game vs directional Louisiana is a small price to pay in the grand scheme of things.

It wasn't Mr. Katherine Webb or Amari Cooper. A cop in Tuscaloosa, Alabama isn't going to pass up an opportunity to go Angel Eyes on a fancy college boy.
