Not every officer is power hungry...actually very few even look for this kind of crap.

The ironic part is that some day you'll be getting your ass kicked and be calling for a "power-hungry piece of shit police officer."

Grow up man and realize that officers are individuals just like every other profession...some good and some bad. But who am I to keep you from lumping them all together.

"Never underestimate power-hungary piece of shit police officers. No bigger assholes in the world IMO."

BN- those are his words..."officers" is plural which tells me he isn't just talking about the one who arrested Santanio.

I do get pretty worked up about it, I know. But I don't profess to know how hard somebody else's job is...let alone criticize it until I have walked a mile in his shoes.

According to the news in Pittsburgh,Miami is cracking down on people on this certain street Santonio was on. They arrested over 600 some people this weekend! No,Santonio had not believed to be drunk,just simply refused to leave the street they even mentioned! That's alot of fines & money for the city of Miami,huh? A way to get some $$$$$$! I just can't picture him being that obnoxious,I think it's a little far fetched!

They give Barbaro a 51% chance now! They plan on removing the cast a little later now this week. There is no swelling above the cast which is tremendous. They put a different shoe on the left hind for weight bearing on that leg to take pressure off. I imagine it would have a decent heel extension on it. He's a troopre man,something short of a miracle I think.
Still a long road,laminitis is still a factor,my pony got it & we had the best therapy for it there was a creek & I'd sit on the bridge & soak her in it an hour 2 times a day,my mom doing one shift while I was in school. She had corrective shoeing but still continued to be a kick azz barrel racing pony.:wink2:

Charge 'minor' on Holmes

By Joe Bendel
TRIBUNE-REVIEW
Wednesday, May 31, 2006


As a talented wide receiver, Santonio Holmes knows the importance of timing.
But the Steelers' first-round draft pick found himself in the wrong place at the wrong time early Saturday morning in Miami Beach, Fla., during Urban Beach Week, a 17-block annual extravaganza celebrating hip-hop music.

Holmes was one of 563 event-goers arrested over the Memorial Day weekend. He was arrested and charged with second-degree misdemeanor disorderly conduct for obstructing traffic while walking in the street and failing to obey the command of a police officer.

The maximum penalty for a second-degree misdemeanor is 60 days in jail, though Miami Beach police spokesman Bobby Hernandez said Holmes isn't likely to receive such a harsh punishment.


"I've never heard of that, a first-time offender getting 60 days," Hernandez said of Holmes, who had a disorderly conduct charge dismissed his freshman year at Ohio State.

A fine or probation, at most, is more realistic, Hernandez said, adding that on many other weekends Holmes might not have been arrested. Police are extra vigilant at the Urban Beach event, the largest gathering of the year at Miami Beach.

"This is a minor charge; this is nothing," Hernandez said. "It means more to the celebrity, the sports star, the actor, than to the average Joe. To the average Joe, this is nothing. The ramifications aren't that great. But for a celebrity, there are more ramifications (due to publicity). Different things can happen negatively to you."

The Steelers organization did not offer a statement Tuesday regarding Holmes' arrest.

Hernandez said 600 police officers, a portion of them in plainclothes, were deployed at the Urban Beach event. Since 2001, when unruly behavior highlighted the Memorial Day event, Miami Beach police began cracking down.

"It's like our Mardi Gras," Hernandez said.

Because the event draws so many people, police officers are instructed to quickly arrest anyone causing problems.

"On this weekend, there is a low tolerance for shenanigans," said Hernandez, who pointed out that most of those arrested were charged with disorderly conduct and intoxication. "If you pick a weekend to be disorderly, this wasn't the weekend. We can't afford it."

Holmes, whom the Steelers traded up for in the first round of April's draft, was arrested and taken to jail at 3:30 a.m. Saturday. He was released from jail after signing a promissory note to appear in court to be arraigned.

A date for the arraignment has not been set, and it could take several weeks, according to Ed Griffith of the state attorney's office in Florida. Holmes would not have to physically appear at the arraignment -- an attorney could represent him -- if he pleads not guilty. He would have to be present if the case went to trial.

Oftentimes, a plea bargain can be reached, and the defendant could be ordered to pay a fine. If that were to occur, Holmes could have the issue handled by an attorney. It would guarantee that he would not miss any portion of Steelers training camp, which opens July 28 in Latrobe.

Holmes told the Tribune-Review on Saturday that he was walking in the street to avoid a gathering of people, and, that he was arrested after questioning why the police officer was using a strong tone with him to get off the street.

"I wasn't trying to cause a problem," Holmes told the Trib. "I'm upset about this."

Holmes, 22, who left Ohio State after his junior year, was one of three professional athletes to be arrested during the Urban Beach event in Miami Beach this past weekend. Washington Wizards star Gilbert Arenas and teammate Awvee Storey were the others.

Storey, similar to Holmes, according to reports, was blocking traffic in the middle of a busy street when an officer told him to get back to the sidewalk Saturday night. Storey did not obey the command and was arrested. According to reports, Arenas was told to get back into his vehicle, but he refused, saying he wanted to stand next to his teammate. Arenas was then taken into custody and charged with resisting arrest without violence.

The difference between Holmes and Arenas, according to Hernandez, is that Holmes was "humble" and "apologetic" after being arrested, while Arenas, according to reports, said, "You can't arrest me. I'm a basketball player for the Washington Wizards, and I'm not going to leave my teammate."

The Wizards players were taken to jail for processing. Holmes signed the promissory note and was released.

At the end of the day, here is what matters:

He was arrested and charged with second-degree misdemeanor disorderly conduct for obstructing traffic while walking in the street and failing to obey the command of a police officer.

He wasn't carrying a gun/knife/weapon; he wasn't in possession of any illegal drugs; he wasn't drunk or even carrying an open beer; he didn't resist the arrest or assault anyone. This is about as insignificant as anything he could have done.

agreed, when I first heard the report I was like ahh shit....then read the whole story and was happy to see it was really nothing. You would almost hope/think it being so minor but getting the pub it did that it would remind holmes that even the smallest thing is going to get attention now

Cowher criticizes Holmes for his arrest

Friday, June 09, 2006

ASSOCIATED PRESS




Pittsburgh Steelers coach Bill Cowher yesterday criticized No. 1 draft pick Santonio Holmes for his arrest last month in Miami, but said he will not hold the incident against the former Ohio State receiver.

Holmes was arrested in South Beach for disorderly conduct during a Memorial Day weekend crackdown by local authorities.

"Whatever he did wrong, I don’t think he handled it properly," Cowher said.

"I think he’ll learn from it and understand the scrutiny he’s under. We have not talked face to face about it. I don’t have any long-term concerns."

Holmes and fellow rookie Mike Kudla, a defensive lineman from Ohio State, were prohibited from participating in four weeks of coaching sessions because of an NFL-NCAA agreement that a college player cannot take part in NFL spring workouts until his college has had its graduation.
