I agree. Regardless if a Bama player is involved or not, I don't want to hear screaming obscenities in public. SC should have known better. There is an image to maintain while playing at the Capstone, not to mention the one his father is known for.DustyG said:

This is something that the team did not need two weeks before their first game. Looking at this report, it is nothing serious by all means but troubling none the less. Lets hope Slim learns a lesson from this. I feel for Jeremiah Castille. You know this is causing him some grief.
I don't know how I would of handled this, but being the biased Bama fan that I am I would of told him to go home before he got into trouble. This officer chose not to. Fact is, Simeon has to realize that he needs to be accountable for his own actions. Standing in the middle of the road cussing for everyone to hear is not good practice. Knowing well that there are people watching. I hope he understands that his image, actions and schooling are just as important as his abilities on the field.
Hopefully he has learned his lesson. :?

They were saying on Finebaum that he jumped out of the SUV and that he was serious about the whole thing.

I've seen much worse activity on the quad, in bars, and outside of bars than that. But, while I have seen worse, if I was an officer and I saw what he saw (according to the police report), I can't say that I wouldn't have did the same thing. Then again, it seems as if it was very obvious to everyone at the scene (besides the officer) that it was a big misunderstanding. :?

Yes, no sig. but the date from 2000 is the date of the fax transmit. It means nothing. Some people forget to change it when the power goes out and that could be the default year. No biggie.

Re: I'm going to jail too.
Awesome post. I agree 100%.

Well what SC was doing in fact was considered disorderly conduct, but as someone else said half the fans will be going to jail on game day. After speaking to a few friends that work for TPD they have told me this officer does in fact have a chip on his shoulder and is not a favorite there. Sounds like one of the ones that gives us bad names to put on that uniform. I'm not saying that this is true about the guy because I don't know him personally, I can only go by what I'm told from friends there.
If it would have been me in that officers position there is no way SC would have been going to jail, or anyone in his place as long as they calmed down like SC and was not acting aggressive or being an A-hole. He could have easily told them to calm down and gave them all a warning and next time they act up they all will go to jail. From reading the report this officer was being a total a$$. Unfortunately I work with a couple of officers that way that will not let anyone go and have still act like a rookie 5 years into it and it makes our whole dept. look bad.
As for his report, the officer should think about taking the report writing class over again, do a spell check. I thought some of our guys wrote bad reports, I was embarrassed for him after reading that. I know I sound like I'm coming down on him pretty hard and don't really mean to, (maybe a little) but some people get into this line of work for the wrong reasons and its an embarrassment to us all. Granted, SC was acting a fool and got busted for it, but thats no reason to put a charge on him when a simple warning would have done the trick. I imagine it would have with them anyway.
I don't know what my point was or if I even had one. So I'll end on that note.
