And it wasn’t malicious at all. I think the officer needs to lighten up a bit. You’re in the locker room after a national championship win. Give me a break.
That cop is being a little bitch. He wasn't sexually assaulted and he certainly isn't hurt. Maybe his ego is a little bruised but come on, an arrest warrant?
And it wasn’t malicious at all. I think the officer needs to lighten up a bit. You’re in the locker room after a national championship win. Give me a break.
Funny, I'm the opposite. I thought it was a dumb story *until* I watched the video. The officer looked like he was doing business to me and OBJ looked like he was interfering with that. I wouldn't call it malicious, but it didn't look like the fun celebration I originally thought it was going to be.
And it wasn’t malicious at all. I think the officer needs to lighten up a bit. You’re in the locker room after a national championship win. Give me a break.
Wrong. Regardless of location, setting, atmosphere or the fact the he was a police officer, you do not put your hands on someone like that.
People in this country still fighting the cival war. I don't even like Beckham, but this is the kind of shit that makes me want to puke, they going to lynch him for it. Get the hoods out first. The nerve of Beckham, in you forgot where you are, here is a reminder. I hope Steven A. runs with this, makes me asshamed.

It's not about OBJ hurting the cop, it's about disrespect, which OBJ did with contacting him and dancing afterwards.
Odell seemed awfully enamored with that cop's ass. Â
but you've got to do something. You can't allow people to do stuff like that to cops or anyone else. Can't allow people to throw water on them in NY either.
since it didn't seem either malicious or friendly...just weird.
But by the same token, you got your butt slapped. If it was a problem why not arrest him right there? When did this cop finally realize it was a problem?
or in how it was received. It's not assault, but he was trying to be a nuisance and succeeded. Maybe don't slap anyone's ass, male or female, if you don't know them or how they'll take it?

Yeah. Thats a fair take. I guess I can see how its warranted.
Who slapped the backside of a reporter a month or so ago?
I'm not saying that it's not an overreaction (I'm not saying it is, either), but can't ou see a difference (in legality if nothing else) between slapping a police officer doing his duty and a reporter doing her's?

While I agree with you, I personally feel that the cop should have pulled him aside and had a stern discussion with him. The fact that they pursued a sexually battery charge just shows they were looking to make a bigger issue then then needed to.
And it wasn’t malicious at all. I think the officer needs to lighten up a bit. You’re in the locker room after a national championship win. Give me a break.
You can't allow people to treat police like that. It sends a terrible message. I wish the cop took him down right there and arrested him with force.
Some of you should go find a police officer on duty Â
That was extremely stupid of him. This is why coachesshould not let former players like this into there locker room. No reason for OBJ to be in the locker room.
What's the cop doing in the locker room threatening to arrest a player for lighting up a victory cigar. Come on, seriously!!!
What's his rank, Dean of Discipline?
Friggin Barney Fife would know better.

Wait what?? You just recently saw a guy get arrested for slapping a female reporters ass and you think OBJ slapping a COP's ass is nothing more than a racial targeting issue? Seriously?? WTF.
RE: Some of you should go find a police officer on duty Â
After a big game... lol this is actually hilarious. OBJ arrested and cut for a locker room butt slap after LSU won a big national championship game!?!?!? What the fuck?
That was extremely stupid of him. This is why coachesshould not let former players like this into there locker room. No reason for OBJ to be in the locker room.
Perhaps more to the point: no reason for the COPS to be in that locker room, eh?
What if a player under 21 years old has a slug of champagne? God forbid, arrest him!
C'mon now...
RE: RE: Some of you should go find a police officer on duty Â
Ok, so what if a baseball team won the World Series and were spraying champagne all over each other. A cop walks in and in the heat of the moment a player sprays him. Arrest?
Who slapped the backside of a reporter a month or so ago?
(CNN)The man accused of slapping a news reporter on the backside while she was reporting live in Savannah, Georgia, last week has been arrested and charged with sexual battery, according to the Chatham County Sheriff's Office.
And it wasn’t malicious at all. I think the officer needs to lighten up a bit. You’re in the locker room after a national championship win. Give me a break.
I just watched the video. The expression on OBJ’s face along with the fact that he was backing off immediately tells me that even he knew a line was crossed and he was getting ready for a possible tussle.
That doesn’t look like the demeanor of someone who doesn’t think they did anything to warrant retaliation.
Self implosion? Moron? Not defending OBJ here, but the real assinine maneuver here is by the cop(s).
And originally a "sexual assault battery charge?"
Fucking ass clown of a judge, too. Those attempted charges should have laughed right out of court on the spot.
Your tax dollars at work with these fucking idiots.
This country buries hundreds of millions, no make that billions, of dollars each year into corrupt and ludicrous law enforcement policies...
But can't guarantee decent medical care for all its citizens, wealthy or poor. We should be deeply ashamed of ourselves on so many levels.
This cop and judge should be reprimanded tout suit and the ridiculous charge dropped like a hot rock.
IMO
Wtf, come on guy. This has nothing to do with taxes and health care. Why would you even go there.
These Cops are paid by county or city government anyway. If you live in the New Orleans area, feel free to petition the city/county commission to change policy on where, when, and how the cops should do their jobs. Otherwise, this cop has nothing to do with anything that effects your life nor does his job performance here mean anything on a national scale.
RE: Some of you should go find a police officer on duty Â
of respect being shown here by the person filming and then OBJ. He literally taps another person as if watch this and then smacks the office on the ass.
Like someone said earlier, I say to any of you acting like this is nothing, go find a cop who is engaged in conversation with another person and smack him on the ass. Wanna bet things end quite differently than you say they should here???
After a big game... lol this is actually hilarious. OBJ arrested and cut for a locker room butt slap after LSU won a big national championship game!?!?!? What the fuck?
You didn't watch the video, did you?
The cop is a little fucking bitch for not letting those guys celebrate Â
Use fucking discretion. I've just been to Boston for a few weeks on business and I shit not, terrorism is winning in this country and freedom is fucking dying. I'm pretty excited to get back to Florida.
Personally? I wouldn't put my hands on a cop. Period.
I’m. Not saying it was a good idea, and I for sure would not have done it, but the cop could use some discretion here. It’s possible his superiors could
have seen the video and issued the warrant I guess.
Didn't see LSU's statement on the OBJ money thing get posted:
Quote:
“We are aware of the situation regarding Odell Beckham Jr. interacting with LSU student-athletes and others unaffiliated with the team following the championship game Monday night. Initial information suggested bills that were exchanged were novelty bills. Information and footage reviewed since shows apparent cash may have also been given to LSU student-athletes. We were in contact with the NCAA and the SEC immediately upon learning of this situation in which some of our student-athletes may have been placed in a compromising position. We are working with our student-athletes, the NCAA and the SEC in order to rectify the situation.”
Some people on BBI will defend OBJ no matter what. It’s actually sad.
He slapped a cop on the ass while the cop was trying to do his job (whether you think what he was doing was over the top or not is irrelevant). Then after smacking him on the ass, danced and mocked him in front of his face.

I'd argue he did use discretion by not arresting him on the spot.

This is probably over-policing AND OBJ also crossed a line and deserves what he gets. I'm sure there will be a settlement reached and charges will be dropped.
Between him handing out cash to players and this, I've come to the conclusion that OBJ hates money.
someone who has worked in law enforcement for almost 20 years, I have never and will never let anyone touch me in that manner. You push me, you get cuffed. You slap my ass (happened in 2008), I cuff you. Let the judge figure it all out but I am not going to stand there and get disrespected. The lack of consequences to those that do these things coupled with the lack of action by today's Law Enforcement is what birth's things like water dousing of Police Officers in NYC etc.

Lmao!!! Makes you ashamed of what? It's people like you who are part of the problem but sadly don't have a clue. There is no reason for OBJ to put his hand an officer. That man is simply doing his job and that asshole OBJ just had to cause a problem. I hope he gets charged and in your words "lynched". Black privilege covers a lot of bullshit but putting your hands an a officer doing his jobs isn't one of them.
It was clearly all about being in the spotlight while attempting to appear generous by giving LSU players cash. Players who are about to turn pro and make millions in 4 months. Despite the fact that those players can't be punished for accepting cash since they are leaving LSU is now in danger of being penalized by the NCAA.
RE: Some of you should go find a police officer on duty Â
Surprised that people don't even see the bigotry, after all, it is encoured in todays society, how disrespectful of him, to go into a lockeroom where he is welcomed and to dare to celebrate by slapping a cops ass kidding around after winning the national championship. Wow what a horrible example to these players, what a crock of bullshit.
There were rumors during the season that he wasn’t happy on the Browns and would like a trade. These little antics like handing money to the LSU players and “assaulting” an officer may be enough to force a trade (especially since Dorsey isn’t there anymore) but probably not enough to scare off other teams. Maybe genius... or maybe just insane
All these college games have too many cops hanging around trying Â
the cop to be in the locker room. Even stupider for OBJ to do that.
That could have escalated quite a bit had the cop arrested him imo.
Bottom line you don't touch a cop and if you do the law says you will be arrested. I think this is a face saving measure by the police for the video getting out and someone higher stuck his nose in it. Once the cop did not arrest him on the spot it should have been let go.
in the situation which he probably should have chilled out. Odell decided to do something about it, which is friggin stupid because you don't put your hands on a cop...period. And Odell can't help but stick himself in dumb situations that are distractions, which is why the Giants shipped him out.
I'm sure shit will spiral into all kinds of lines being drawn because that's the world we live in when there are nuances involved.
but when I saw that clip on Twitter, my first thought was: Is he drunk?
The cop, regardless how anyone feels about why he was doing it, was engaged in his job. You can't just fucking come up and slap a police officer on the ass.
This guy just cannot get it the fuck together.
I feel bad for him, but I'm glad he's not a member of the New York Giants anymore.
To go along with what Chris684 said, if this was a friend or family member of yours getting their ass slapped while doing their job I'm sure you'd raise holy hell.
The fact that people are seemingly OK with people, no matter who they are, putting their hands on a police officer, regardless of the situation either shows what this society is coming to and the lengths people will go to on here to defend Beckham.

the more i realize they have to make an example out of him because every kid who idolizes him is going to be running around slapping police officers on the ass
I think it was one of the playoff games, a player slapped a camera man or security guard's ass as he was going into the locker room and you could see the guy was noticeably uncomfortable. I'm really trying to remember who it was...
If you pay attention, athletes and coaches are literally slapping each other's asses at ALL times, and I guess when you take it outside of people involved in the sport it's obviously not socially acceptable, and that was the line OBJ accidentally crossed in a moment of elation.
I used to really appreciate OBJ's talent back in the day...... Â

What's this about you breaking a rake and throwing it in the woods?
I didn't *break* it, I was merely testing its durability, and I *placed* it in the woods cause it's made of wood and I thought he should be with his family.

Tommy, your proposed reaction makes some sense. Set the limit right there on appropriate behavior around and directed at law enforcement personnel.
My gripe with this is that WASNT DONE ON THE SPOT. Issuing a warrant for whatever after the fact is a fucking joke and a waste of public funds.
Not to mention, it's not a good "look" for any of the parties involved.
slapping the cops ass isn't assault. It was like good job buddy there ya go. The cop was hassling them because he is a needle dick nerd that was bullied by guys like him in HS, and then Odell didn't like it so he slapped his ass because he thought he could get away with it. Shit is assault.
Now if I were cop I'd want to drop this shit to go away as soon as possible because its a terrible look. He just got bodied by a bunch of players and now they want to bring more attention to a very embarassing look if you are the cop.

I'm saying "accidentally" because I really don't believe he was trying to break the law and be some trouble-making horn-dog creep that some may make him out to be. Don't get me wrong, it was stupid, but I guarantee you there was zero sexual implication to this whatsoever and I doubt he ever thought there would be any sort of consequence from it. I really just am imagining him being inebriated and going around slapping all the players' asses (as literally everyone else in that locker room is likely doing) and then just seeing some cop and doing the same thing.
I wish I could find the video from this past weekend of a player doing that to one of the security guards in an NFL playoff game. I just can't think of what game it was right now... I'm surprised no one else has thought of it in relation to this.
I’ve always wondered about the parenting of some of the kids Â
I see doing stupid things like smashing mailboxes, stealing Christmas decorations, spray painting yards etc. and based on some of the posters here and their acceptance of this type of behavior I guess it shouldn’t surprise me. Society seems to have lost touch with what it means to be respectful of others and their property. But hey yeah it’s just Odell being Odell. He’s misunderstood and really really passionate...

I agree.
Just keep your hands to yourself. Just because the cop is a guy doesn't mean you are entitled to touch him wherever you feel like.

He didn't accidentally cross a line and when he slapped that ass it was not about celebration or elation. It was to humiliate and disrespect.
This is rightfully going to cost OBJ one way or another.
Since when is it okay for anyone lay their hands on a police offer? I have no problem at all with the arrest warrant.
For those of you knocking the police officer, shame on you.
Shame on us? Everybody looks like shit here. This is what happens when you hassle people for stupid shit. Things can escalate. Often when things happen like this there are two guilty parties. Its when you get two assholes together, the problems occur. One its one asshole and one normal person usually the rational normal person walks away or lets things slide.
Odell managed to get a team investigated by the NCAA and get himself arrested.
Nice work.
I’m sure there were other former LSU players at the game too. But we don’t know who, bc there’s only one obsessed with acting out so everyone pays attention to him. Not the players who actually won the fucking game, in this case
My gripe with this is that WASNT DONE ON THE SPOT. Issuing a warrant for whatever after the fact is a fucking joke and a waste of public funds.

They did Beckham a favor. Dragging him out of the Superdome in cuffs a half hour after he was giving out hundred dollar handshakes on the field is the ultimate bad "look".

I don't think that's what happened. I think he did it intentionally to insert himself into whatever was going on between the cop and the player. He wasn't slapping everyone around him and got the cop as part of that.
Just watched it, I see the deal now. Yeah, that was pretty stupid. I was mistaken.
All that said, I would like to find the clip of the guy who was headed into the locker room and slapped the security guard (or camera man's) ass from this past weekend. I was imagining it being something like that.

The guy was just doing his job. There is only one guilty party. Laying hands on an officer is never okay.
What the hell was the cop harrassing them about? Â
Jesus Christ. He should literally only be there to make sure that no fans/outsiders get into the locker room who shouldn't be there. He was literally getting on some player for something that was in his gatorade bottle it looked like? What a fucking loser.
RE: And for everyone saying cop was being a hardass Â

I’m surprised he didn’t get cuffed on the spot.
Yawn. And if this was a member of the current roster, some of the folks jumping on OBJ would be defending said current member, so can your protests.
I think the cop was letting it go until the video came out and then either he or someone higher up decided they needed to make an issue of it. No doubt everyone in the process feels like they have better things to do and this will all quietly be put to bed at some point down the road.
As for the "novelty" money, it's SEC football so LSU has absolutely nothing to fear from the NCAA; its statement is fodder for the sports reporters nothing more. Besides, there was no need to hand out "novelty" or real money to players; LSU has professional boosters to do that, and no doubt OBJ was a beneficiary.
RE: RE: RE: Why would anyone take issue with this? Â

The guards at Aushwitz were just doing their jobs too. Doesn't make it anymore reasonable. You know how miserable life would be if you got a ticket everytime you jaywalked you got a ticket. Going two miles over speed limit ticket. Its called discretion, and a job like police officer requires a ton of it. If not find another line of work.

Holy shit. Where the fuck is this thread going?
Yeah, I've defended OBJ in the past but this is plain stupid Â
so was handing out cash to the LSU players, but you could at least bend that one a little (they were no longer athletes since the game was over, or making a statement about the inequity of NCAA sports, etc.). This - this is just dumb.
He's been doing more and more stupid shit. At first, I thought it was part of some social media act aimed at increasing followers and promoting his "brand" for increased revenues, but now it really looks like the guy has just gone off the rails and needs someone with half a brain to guide him back to something resembling normal.
What difference does it make why the cops were there? Or that they were a killjoy in regards to the players celebrating. That has ZERO to do with the issue at hand. ZERO.
I’d like to see what some of the people actually defending him do if they were out somewhere and bent over to pick something up and some dude you didn’t know slapped you on your ass like he did and then you turned around and he did some idiotic dance in your face. I really don’t think you’d be “ahh it’s no big deal”. Bullshit. And this situation is a cop on duty! Not good.
Would it have made a difference in anyone’s eyes if the cop was female? It shouldn’t but just think about that. How would you be reacting now? And again, it should not be any different how it is handled. But a lot of you who are defending him would see it differently if the cop was a female. And that should not be the case.

It was clearly not a joyfull celebratory ass slap.. it looked as if it was even meditated..
It totally was. If you watch closely, OBJ taps the LSU player sitting off to the side right before he does it as if to say "hey watch this". Then he slaps the cop. Then he taunts the cop by dancing and making his hands into guns and sings "get the gat, get the gat, get the gat..."

You are 100% correct, either arrest him on the spot or let it be. Issuing a warrant is some higher up's idea (someone who has not walked the streets for probably 30+ years) after looking at the video.
that allows the cancer-producing industry to thrive. Course we're all gonna die some day. But do we have to pay for it? Do we have to actually throw hard-earned dollars down on the counter and say, "Please Mr. Merchant-of-Death, please, sell me something that'll stink up my breath and my clothes and fry my lungs."
Dante Hicks : Now wait a second!
Chewlies Gum Rep : Yeah. Yeah, now here comes the speech about how he's just doing his job by following orders. Friends, let me tell you about another group of hate mongers that were just following orders.
Angry Smoking Crowd : Who's that?
Chewlies Gum Rep : They were called Nazis!
Woolen Cap Smoker : Nazis, that's right.
Angry Smoking Crowd : Fuckin' Nazi!
Chewlies Gum Rep : Yeah, and they practically wiped an entire nation of people off the Earth just like your cigarettes are doing now.
it wasn't a sports type tap that guys do all the time Â
It would be a great visit and cross reference when some of the people defending this get their panties in a twist over something much more frivolous.
It would be more interesting to go back in the archives and read a thread on Beckham in 2017. If he'd done this then everyone would be saying the cop overreacted.

I actually think the majority of people defending him then are the majority of people defending him now.

I think you'd have a similar core of people from back then. I loved what Beckham did for this team, but I can tell you I wouldn't have defended this...no matter the color of the uniform he wore.
That people can try to defend OBJ here and call the cop into question Â
my last comment should have also included Terps' comment..

The guy was just doing his job. There is only one guilty party. Laying hands on an officer is never okay.
The guards at Aushwitz were just doing their jobs too. Doesn't make it anymore reasonable. You know how miserable life would be if you got a ticket everytime you jaywalked you got a ticket. Going two miles over speed limit ticket. Its called discretion, and a job like police officer requires a ton of it. If not find another line of work.

So if a cop isn't out solving a murder they're doing dumb shit? I didn't realize upholding laws was dumb shit. I guess all we need are detectives on the police force by this take.

issuing a warrant for OBJs arrest for dancing with a cop and slapping his butt is a waste of the louisiana taxpayers dollars, yes. in my opinion. there's crime and then there's crime.
i realize there's an enthusiastic culture of police worship in the broader society that manifests here on BBI, but yea- this seems like trivial bullshit to me.
the police should focus on more important things, like protecting and serving the communities in which they work. no louisiana citizen is being protected or served here.
RE: I assume an arrest warrant is following for the LSU player Â
who slapped like 5 security guard asses towards the end of the game? It was broadcast on TV.
This sounds a lot like the Masai Ujiri incident when he 'shoved' a sheriff after the Raptors victory.
Well that solves it right there. Somebody else did it so all-forgiving. We can go on w our lives. If someone else does something stupid, we all can!! Yippee.

The point is, if this wasn't OBJ would it have even happened? If the LSU player isn't arrested, then the answer is no.
You really think a conviction is going to come out of this? It's just an attention grabber. John Doe getting arrested for something like this isn't news.

Theres a pretty significant difference between police worship and acknowledging that putting your hands on anyone, let alone a cop, is a dumb fucking idea that invites trouble.
He's a train wreck. I mean who walks around the LSU locker room handing out money? Who walks around slapping cops on the ass and mimicking them? I'd be ticketed too if I did these things. I can't believe the number of people who never think he is in the wrong.

The incident is all over social media and can have people thinking its OK to smack a cop on the ass. Unfortunately, its an offense to strike an officer and therefore, they are going to make it a point that it is a crime.
Ive been to NOLA before and they don't take much sh*t down there. Have seen the mounties pin multiple to buildings b/c they've been talking smack as they roll through to clear the street.

Last I knew, you could be charged with a crime for putting your hands on/assaulting a police officer? If this is let go, where is the line drawn? Where is the distinction made? As others have said, this clown has millions of followers and kids worshiping him and his every move, you really want millions of kids growing up thinking it's OK to put their hands on a cop and not thinking there will be any repercussions? I certainly don't.
I was totally wrong on Beckham. I wasn’t much of a vocal supporter here of him as I don’t post very often, but I was a big fan of his while with the Giants.
But I’m glad he’s not on a team I root for any longer. He’s your typical jackass and knucklehead that everyone here grew up with and you shake your head at all the dumb shit he does. It’s common sense, you don’t touch police officers, no matter how innocuous your think it is. Then the taunting dancing afterwards? its unreal. He’s soon to become a cautionary tale.
I actually kinda feel bad for the cop in the video Â
He gets put on an impossible assignment (trying to corral a bunch of college football players as they celebrate the biggest moment of their lives), gets embarrassed by being shown on a viral video getting his ass smacked as he's in the middle of trying to "lay down the law", then is made to look like a whiny little bitch because his boss has decided after the fact that he should file charges for simple assault.

You’re right. If John Doe does this he probably will get more punishment than say Odell. Odell will probably get off w not much of a penalty since he’s rich and can afford a big time lawyer. If you think that a cop in my town is bending over to pick up something and I slap his ass and then do a dance in his face and I won’t get arrested then I don’t know what to say. And no it wouldn’t be news. I’m not a celebrity. You really think the cop would go easier on me than a celebrity in that situation? Yea umm no.
That doesn't make any sense to me.
I don't ever recall seeing cops in locker rooms?
The officer in question was employed by the Superdome; he wasn't New Orleans police.
Most people would call that a security guard, not a cop.
Probably why OBJ wasn't arrested on the spot. New Orleans police have now issued the arrest warrant based on video evidence of the slap on the Superdome officer.
That cop is being a little bitch. He wasn't sexually assaulted and he certainly isn't hurt. Maybe his ego is a little bruised but come on, an arrest warrant?
OR MAYBE OBJ JUST SHOULD GROW UP.
That's what he gets for going in the locker room to begin with Â
That doesn't make any sense to me.
I don't ever recall seeing cops in locker rooms?
Odell is immature, he's immature with money, but really, they've just won the championship or whatever you call it, let them celebrate, let them get drunk. Totally avoidable situation, unless you feel that these dudes threaten the fabric of American values, which I seriously doubt is the case.

I think the charge is fair. Keep your hands to yourself. Guy with badge - ( New Window )
He probably is a cop working as security. Regardless, why does the Super dome have them in the locker room? Were they afraid LSU would trash the locker room? I just don't get it.
Where did you find this info? Nothing in the linked article stats he is an employee of the Superdome. All reports say he is an officer
This article refers to him as a security officer, though he's clearly a police officer. I assume he's there being paid by the arena (or possibly the team), as is typical at some sporting events. Police would have no cause to be there on their own. link - ( New Window )
There are things that grown men should know and disrespecting cops and people in authority is something that he should know is wrong at this point in his life. If this was one of the College kids you could give it a pass possibly. OBJ is 27 years old and is still clueless.
Not only did he slap his ass which is bad enough but then he got in his face and disrespected him even more. OBJ proves on a regular basis why he is not good for a team. He is a great talent that others look up to and he continually leads others down the bad path. He doesnt learn and makes bad choices over and over again and then blames others for over reacting.
I dont know what the punishment should be but it is another reason why I am glad he no longer represents the NY Giants. For those that are blaming the cop for being a dick thats the wrong way to look at it. The cop is there to protect and uphold the law and while in uniform should be respected. that is what is wrong with the world today, too many people show no respect to anyone but feel like they should get respect.
And I decided to take my 3 oldest kids to a local bookstore after dinner. As I’m parking, a cop pulls up and flashes his lights. He rushes up to the window and starts sticking his flashlight in my face and shining it around the car. Very hostile vibe. He gets my license and registration and goes back to his car and spends a good solid 10 minutes running my info. Eventually comes back and says my registration sticker expired a day or two ago. I’m puzzled but I look and in on the console the new sticker is sitting there, still in the envelope — my wife had left it for me and I absent-mindedly didn’t see it. Whoops.
So I apologize humbly and say here it is officer, would it be okay if I just put it on now? He responds in an extremely aggressive way that it was a clear violation and did I have a problem with it (“no officer”), then goes back to his car, and returns with a $100 ticket. After this lovely little 20 minute interlude, we walk into the bookstore in awkward silence.
So ... the cop was a prick. Neither protected not served a dad taking his kids to the bookstore after a long day of work. But ... as an adult in our society, one of the things you have to absolutely learn is ... don’t fuck with cops. Zero good comes out of it. Slapping a cop in the ass and then doing a taunting dance? OBJ has a long road ahead of him if this any indication of his judgment.
Thanks for that link. Ive never seen another stadium security guard have a badge on his uniform like that, which leads me to believe he is definitely a cop. Either getting outsourced or assigned to the detail.
Im interested to know why he was giving them a hard time about the cigars. Makes you think something happened prior to the recording
matters. slapping someones butt in a locker room after a big win in the context of dancing and celebrating shouldn't rise to the level of the crime of assault and battery. also: cops always use discretion in deciding who to arrest.
im not defending OBJ here or saying he is a smart guy. i am glad he's no longer a giant. it seems like he is mentally ill. i just don't think it's an arrestable offense and to call it assault or battery is defining downward what assault and battery is.
i realize cops like deference and respect. i learned as a teen that if you're a dick to cops (verbally) they'll be a dick back and try and make your life as miserable as they can. and its definitely the case that OBJ was acting disrespectfully. he also was probably caught up in the moment or caught up in being the center of attention and making a spectacle of himself and didn't intend disrespect. again not defending him. i think he is mentally unhinged. it's kind of sad to see what a joke he's become.
now, i haven't watched the video- maybe it's egregious and i would be shocked and appalled if i saw it. but from reading about it doesn't sound like any real harm was done.
if it was a privately employed superdome security person/citizen who made a complaint/report to NO PD, it's a different story. the police are almost obligated to investigate/make an arrest given the high-profile nature of it. at any rate, i'll be curious to see what he's charged with. can't imagine he'll serve time over it.
and if it turns out it amounts to just a fine and a viral video/media moment, OBJ gets what he wanted all along and then some: to drive the sports news cycle and have everyone talking about him.
When I was teaching 15 year-olds. They got mad at me when I told them they were acting like "kindergarteners". And yes, they tried to use the "respect card" . OBJ is 10 years older and he's stuck in a four year old mentality.
There's an old saying - "It's sad to see a fool, but tragic to witness an old fool"

Similar issue for me a few years back. Live in Maryland and was driving in DC for a conference around 8am. Get pulled over by a DC cop and have no idea why. I saw him sitting on the side and then he came out and pulled me down. Then a second officer comes and he/they is/are taking a while with my info. He comes back and says that my registration was expired. Long story short, I was never notified by MD MVA and there was some sort of computer glitch so he didn't give me a ticker. As I drove off, I was like WTF? Don't the DC cops have anything better to do than bust peoples chops who don't even live in the district. With all the crime flying around in DC, I think the time spent by two different officers could have been much better. Get a god damn meter maid/butler to run around and write tickets for that shit.

Mine was in the parking lot of Politics & Prose on Conn Ave. The cop was looking for trouble, sticking his flashlight a few inches from my face and I have zero doubt that if I had said anything but yes sir, no sir, things would have gone downhill quickly.

Honestly? It would have taken less time for you to watch the video than it did to write this.
It's like some of you are so dug in to your previous position (that Odell is a stand-up guy that's misunderstood by meanies) that you will fucking defend him no matter what he does.

So you've taken part in this conversation all this time without knowing what the fuck you're talking about? You don't think thats a problem? Sounds about right.
still don't think it warrants a charge of assault and battery or sexual assault. why are a bunch of football players clowning around in the lockerroom after a big win being policed in the first place?
the smack definitely seemed like it was intentionally disrespectful and OBJ is definitely a look-at-me dick/headcase and i have zero sympathy for him regardless of what happens legally- but he's getting what he wants, which is to have everyone talking about him in sports news and on the internet.
i'd be surprised if the punishment amounted to more than a small fine.
and a shot at recovering some pride for the police.
But, with a dipshit like OB the constant issues follow him and his poor judgement around. His bank account allows him to continue to not learn a thing.
what the hell was the cop or security guard doing in the middle of the freaking locker room?
should n't he be OUTSIDE the locker room making sure no-one unauthorized got in while LSU was CELEBRATING?
What if someone had sprayed the cop with Champagne is that assault also ?
seriously this is the SECURITY GUARD's fault for putting himself in the middle of place he was not wanted or NEEDED.
Always someone else's fault beside OBJ. Now its the stadiums fault for putting a security guard in the locker room. OBJ wasn't forced to slap him, mock him, or give college athletes illegal cash either for that matter. But ok, he did all that because the stadium assigned a security guard. Poor misunderstood Odell.
there are often officers in the locker room and outside of the locker room. Most of the time they are state police officers assigned to cover the team.
I don't know if this is a case like that, but I know there have been officers in the Clemson locker room after games.
I'm surprised you guys have watched college games, especially with Florida St. in the past and not even seen an officer escorting Bowden to the post-game handshake and eventually to the locker room
Gronkoski does stupid stuff on and off the field and he always described as clownish and lovable but it never takes away the view that he was a great player on the field .. but OBJ does stuff stuff on and off the field d he is unstable and a thug .and those things have tarnished his legacy .
what could be the difference btween the two ?? HMMMMMMMM ????????
whoever assigned him to be there, for whatever reason, he was there. The why is a totally separate issue. But, he *is* there and he is trying to do his job and there's a law against interfering with that, especially with physicality.
speared another player in the helmet with the crown of his own helmet, simulated a dog peeing while celebrating a TD, having a whole charade with a kicking net, doing an interview with Lil Wayne and badmouthing his team and QB after said time gave him a record breaking contract...shall I keep going?
Regardless, it doesn't change this schmuck playing the race card here. Gronk has done some silly stuff, but no where near the same level as OBJ has, IMO.
But just to keep track, we now have comparisons to guards at Auschwitz and a racial conspiracy.
that was the play. It should also be noted that that funny scalawag was suspended a game for the hit, so it isn't like people just yukked it up and chugged a beer in his honor.
has most definitely speared someone before. I think it was a Buffalo game
That's true, and he handled the aftermath of that by taking responsibility for his poor actions.
People who look for opportunities to play the race card are just the worst.
What Gronk does is mostly harmless fun. I can't remember a time where he hasAnd I have defended OBJ multiple times in the past, where I've felt he was taking undeserved criticism, but to bring the race card INTO THIS SITUATION where he is CLEARLY over the line and in the wrong, it just makes the poster (giantsfan2000) look like an absolute idiot.
I can't remember I time when Gronk's behavior has risen to the point of doing something that remotely could get him arrested. Perhaps he has and I just don't know about it.
Per USA Today. I wouldn’t think it would lead to anything more than a fine. That’s proportional to the misdeed. Unlike that Georgia case, which makes it sound like the alleged perp attacked a US Army unit.
yeah it could justify a simple assault charge. If he had slapped him in the face - no one would question it. He's impulsive, immature - but let's not go crazy over this.
But, kind of a dumb position to put the cops in. Probably, more prudent for cop to grab one of the coaches and have them direct players to put the cigar out - that's a better choice than arresting someone for a minor offense celebrating National Championship.
Was wrong, I should have watched it, Beckham was out of line, arresting him is still kind of ridiculous, but I understand it now, I assumed he was just celebrating.
All articles I saw earlier were calling him a police officer. Now, the above article calls him a security guard but then later refers to him as an officer. If he’s a security guard, how does he have the authority to arrest him? Wouldn’t the most he could do is bring him to some holding area in the stadium till proper authority arrives?
I really did not dig that his Rae Timon to LSU winning was, as usual, to try and make the moment all about him - even at the risk of harming the program and players by handing out cash. Just such a weird attempt to Bigfoot someone else’s moment. Between his declining speed and inclining self-involvement, I’m beginning to be happy he’s gone.

This was my take as well. One what was a great night for the LSU players, OBJ did his damn best to make himself the center of the show as soon as he had a chance. Im sure he will somehow be the victim like usual though...
who was threatening the players who were smoking cigars?
Yeah, right after they won. What an asshole
I would bet smoking of any form is not allowed in the locker room. The security guy was probably just trying to do his job to enforce that.
I would agree with this except the cops came back in later and said it was okay for them to smoke the Cigars
I have no idea if they later allowed it, but the security guard should definitely tell them not to smoke if that was his understanding. Most importantly, if heaven forbid there was a fire, people would be screaming “oh how could that security guard let them smoke in the locker room” and they would be right. He was just doing his job until someone tells me that he knew you could smoke and was being an asshole.
Obj is just an moron. It is always about him. He has singlehandedly ruined these kids celebration, whether it is with the money or now taking attention away with his arrest.
However, at the same time you could also feel that whoever is responsible for charging OBJ probably made a dumb decision. I guess you don’t want a viral video of someone disrespecting authority or law enforcement, but I mean to arrest him???
Beckham spent 4 years in the biggest city in the world. The most media. The most amount of things to do in a market where you could get in trouble for in NYC with a ridiculous amount of media in NYC, and while he was a pain in the ass on the field here; he never got in trouble off the field here.
Yet, he finds a way to get arressted at the National Championship pretty much on TV.
He manages to stay out of trouble (off the field) in NYC, but gets arressted for doing something at a very high profile game with the cameras on him.
I LOL'd at that one. I notice that poster has gone silent since those remarks too.

it is my opinion that the police only took action once the video began to circulate. It almost forced their hand at that point to do something. I have a feeling if there was no video, nobody would know about this and therefore no arrest warrant.
What is the moral of the story? If Odell is nearby, keep your phone camera rolling... you may get something to sell to TMZ

I think law enforcement said we can’t have a video out there of contact with a cop without a penalty for a celebrity. I get the slippery slope of allowing contact on offices and I get the OBJ is a compete and utter moron, but this is one that would I would let go because people will now say “you see the police are unreasonable”
But obj is just an asshole who has no respect for any human being, be it the cop, the bandleader, the kids celebrating a once in a lifetime opportunity. I used to defend him for working hard, but he is such me first person that I am glad we are rid of him.

I'm not always the biggest fan of the police plus have been a big OBJ defender, and I don't think it fits assault and battery, but come on, how can anyone defend this? He's being a huge asshole and dickhead in the video, and it just shows how untouchable he thinks he is.
Total asshole move. He deserves to be in trouble and he deserves chargers (which I assume will likely be reduced). You can't put your hands on a cop like that (or really anyone for that matter), and his demeanor was utterly idiotic, childish, and ridiculous.
Total dumbass. He's 27, he isn't a kid anymore. Can't believe I've come all the way around on this but it's becoming pretty god damn apparent he'll never grow the fuck up.
You clearly don't understand the rules of assault if you don't think Â

If OBJ simply smacked the guy in the ass in a playful way, that is one thing. However, he wound up and smacked the guy in an aggressive way IMO. Not that it "hurt" at all...but that it was definitely NOT friendly.
Don’t disagree. My point is it’s not criminal. Hardly defending the guy. His behaviour disgusts me. Glad he’s gone despite the fact he was game changer when he was here and healthy. Guy is a complete asshole.
This should be a lesson for OBJ, but he'll never learn.
This was always going to happen. IMO the only reason charges were brought up in the first place is because there was video and it was embarrassing to the security officer.
This is basically the MO of any issue since the advent of social media. Any time there is video, it forces someone to act as a show of power; rightly or wrongly. You would hope that the right decision would be made without video proof, but the lynch mobs demand justice so people act irrationally.
Ray Rice and Kareem Hunt should have been dealt with appropriately before video leaked and forced NFL's hand. At the same time, is it worth the waste of time and effort to arrest a guy for a slapping a security guards butt only to drop the charges? Probably not, but the public video changes the math on that one.
And it wasn’t malicious at all. I think the officer needs to lighten up a bit. You’re in the locker room after a national championship win. Give me a break.
Funny, I'm the opposite. I thought it was a dumb story *until* I watched the video. The officer looked like he was doing business to me and OBJ looked like he was interfering with that. I wouldn't call it malicious, but it didn't look like the fun celebration I originally thought it was going to be.
Holy shit, you're absolutely right. I simply assumed it was a playful, celebratory things as well -- it seemed to be a safe assumption to make given the situation and circumstances, like when Toomer once high fives a ref who'd signalled touchdown. Bit after watching the video I see that's not the case -- the slap was something of an interruption while the cop was already engaged in something. And OBJ's facial expression hardly looked celebratory.
Lonk - ( New Window )
Pun intended?
Beyond that absurdity, OBJ is a total wrecking ball.
What a moron. His self-implosion continues.

Wrong. Regardless of location, setting, atmosphere or the fact the he was a police officer, you do not put your hands on someone like that.
It's not about OBJ hurting the cop, it's about disrespect, which OBJ did with contacting him and dancing afterwards.
That sounds stupid. But, would our opinions change if that was a XX cop?
But by the same token, you got your butt slapped. If it was a problem why not arrest him right there? When did this cop finally realize it was a problem?
No winners in this story, just losers.

Yeah. Thats a fair take. I guess I can see how its warranted.
I'm not saying that it's not an overreaction (I'm not saying it is, either), but can't ou see a difference (in legality if nothing else) between slapping a police officer doing his duty and a reporter doing her's?

While I agree with you, I personally feel that the cop should have pulled him aside and had a stern discussion with him. The fact that they pursued a sexually battery charge just shows they were looking to make a bigger issue then then needed to.
You can't allow people to treat police like that. It sends a terrible message. I wish the cop took him down right there and arrested him with force.
Yes they did.

Gettleman looking smarter by the day with OBJ.
What's the cop doing in the locker room threatening to arrest a player for lighting up a victory cigar. Come on, seriously!!!
What's his rank, Dean of Discipline?
Friggin Barney Fife would know better.
What a moron. His self-implosion continues.
Self implosion? Moron? Not defending OBJ here, but the real assinine maneuver here is by the cop(s).

Fucking ass clown of a judge, too. Those attempted charges should have laughed right out of court on the spot.
Your tax dollars at work with these fucking idiots.
This country buries hundreds of millions, no make that billions, of dollars each year into corrupt and ludicrous law enforcement policies...
But can't guarantee decent medical care for all its citizens, wealthy or poor. We should be deeply ashamed of ourselves on so many levels.
This cop and judge should be reprimanded tout suit and the ridiculous charge dropped like a hot rock.

Try to keep it in context. I’m on the dense with this one, but your example doesn’t work for me.
Wait what?? You just recently saw a guy get arrested for slapping a female reporters ass and you think OBJ slapping a COP's ass is nothing more than a racial targeting issue? Seriously?? WTF.

What if a player under 21 years old has a slug of champagne? God forbid, arrest him!
C'mon now...

Ok, so what if a baseball team won the World Series and were spraying champagne all over each other. A cop walks in and in the heat of the moment a player sprays him. Arrest?
Just odd behavior all around.
(CNN)The man accused of slapping a news reporter on the backside while she was reporting live in Savannah, Georgia, last week has been arrested and charged with sexual battery, according to the Chatham County Sheriff's Office.
Link - ( New Window )
I just watched the video. The expression on OBJ’s face along with the fact that he was backing off immediately tells me that even he knew a line was crossed and he was getting ready for a possible tussle.
That doesn’t look like the demeanor of someone who doesn’t think they did anything to warrant retaliation.

Wtf, come on guy. This has nothing to do with taxes and health care. Why would you even go there.
These Cops are paid by county or city government anyway. If you live in the New Orleans area, feel free to petition the city/county commission to change policy on where, when, and how the cops should do their jobs. Otherwise, this cop has nothing to do with anything that effects your life nor does his job performance here mean anything on a national scale.
+1
Like someone said earlier, I say to any of you acting like this is nothing, go find a cop who is engaged in conversation with another person and smack him on the ass. Wanna bet things end quite differently than you say they should here???

Slapping a cop on the ass is smart business apparently.
Ok then...
You didn't watch the video, did you?
I’m sure his higher ups saw the video and were pissed he didn’t arrest him. You can’t put hands on a uniform officer.
I’m. Not saying it was a good idea, and I for sure would not have done it, but the cop could use some discretion here. It’s possible his superiors could
have seen the video and issued the warrant I guess.
How many things can this guy f-ck up?
He slapped a cop on the ass while the cop was trying to do his job (whether you think what he was doing was over the top or not is irrelevant). Then after smacking him on the ass, danced and mocked him in front of his face.
I’m surprised he didn’t get cuffed on the spot.

This is probably over-policing AND OBJ also crossed a line and deserves what he gets. I'm sure there will be a settlement reached and charges will be dropped.
Between him handing out cash to players and this, I've come to the conclusion that OBJ hates money.
Lmao!!! Makes you ashamed of what? It's people like you who are part of the problem but sadly don't have a clue. There is no reason for OBJ to put his hand an officer. That man is simply doing his job and that asshole OBJ just had to cause a problem. I hope he gets charged and in your words "lynched". Black privilege covers a lot of bullshit but putting your hands an a officer doing his jobs isn't one of them.
I'm pretty pumped to see what it devolves into by evening...
If we could nominate some BBI'ers I would pay big money to see that.
I don’t want to see an incident but they are just there for easy overtime.
...a horse's ass in front of his face! - ( New Window )
That could have escalated quite a bit had the cop arrested him imo.
Bottom line you don't touch a cop and if you do the law says you will be arrested. I think this is a face saving measure by the police for the video getting out and someone higher stuck his nose in it. Once the cop did not arrest him on the spot it should have been let go.
I'm sure shit will spiral into all kinds of lines being drawn because that's the world we live in when there are nuances involved.
The cop, regardless how anyone feels about why he was doing it, was engaged in his job. You can't just fucking come up and slap a police officer on the ass.
This guy just cannot get it the fuck together.
I feel bad for him, but I'm glad he's not a member of the New York Giants anymore.
The fact that people are seemingly OK with people, no matter who they are, putting their hands on a police officer, regardless of the situation either shows what this society is coming to and the lengths people will go to on here to defend Beckham.
can’t tell if serious.
A night in jail might do him some good.
If you pay attention, athletes and coaches are literally slapping each other's asses at ALL times, and I guess when you take it outside of people involved in the sport it's obviously not socially acceptable, and that was the line OBJ accidentally crossed in a moment of elation.
Thank you, Cleveland!!!!!
What a moron.
I am not saying what the cop was doing was right either, but OBJ is paving his way into the under-achieving, over-clowning Hall of Fame!
My father used to say that your reputation is everything. Obivously he doesn't care that he is now an ASSCLOWN right now!
People have been shot for less.

What's this about you breaking a rake and throwing it in the woods?
I didn't *break* it, I was merely testing its durability, and I *placed* it in the woods cause it's made of wood and I thought he should be with his family.
Nice work.
Tommy, your proposed reaction makes some sense. Set the limit right there on appropriate behavior around and directed at law enforcement personnel.
My gripe with this is that WASNT DONE ON THE SPOT. Issuing a warrant for whatever after the fact is a fucking joke and a waste of public funds.
Not to mention, it's not a good "look" for any of the parties involved.
Nice work.
Perfectly summed up.
What an idiot. Remarkably overblown sense of entitlement.
Glad he's no longer a Giant.
Now if I were cop I'd want to drop this shit to go away as soon as possible because its a terrible look. He just got bodied by a bunch of players and now they want to bring more attention to a very embarassing look if you are the cop.
For those of you knocking the police officer, shame on you.

I'm saying "accidentally" because I really don't believe he was trying to break the law and be some trouble-making horn-dog creep that some may make him out to be. Don't get me wrong, it was stupid, but I guarantee you there was zero sexual implication to this whatsoever and I doubt he ever thought there would be any sort of consequence from it. I really just am imagining him being inebriated and going around slapping all the players' asses (as literally everyone else in that locker room is likely doing) and then just seeing some cop and doing the same thing.
I wish I could find the video from this past weekend of a player doing that to one of the security guards in an NFL playoff game. I just can't think of what game it was right now... I'm surprised no one else has thought of it in relation to this.
For those of you knocking the police officer, shame on you.
I don't get it. It's been insinuated on this thread that this is some indication of a civil war being instigated.
I'd counter that if that's true, the instigating is being done by those that want to further blur the lines between bad behavior and breaking the law.
:)
how is this hard to understand. this is all on OBJ.
I agree.
Just keep your hands to yourself. Just because the cop is a guy doesn't mean you are entitled to touch him wherever you feel like.
If you pay attention, athletes and coaches are literally slapping each other's asses at ALL times, and I guess when you take it outside of people involved in the sport it's obviously not socially acceptable, and that was the line OBJ accidentally crossed in a moment of elation.
He didn't accidentally cross a line and when he slapped that ass it was not about celebration or elation. It was to humiliate and disrespect.
This is rightfully going to cost OBJ one way or another.
For those of you knocking the police officer, shame on you.
Shame on us? Everybody looks like shit here. This is what happens when you hassle people for stupid shit. Things can escalate. Often when things happen like this there are two guilty parties. Its when you get two assholes together, the problems occur. One its one asshole and one normal person usually the rational normal person walks away or lets things slide.
Nice work.
I’m sure there were other former LSU players at the game too. But we don’t know who, bc there’s only one obsessed with acting out so everyone pays attention to him. Not the players who actually won the fucking game, in this case
My gripe with this is that WASNT DONE ON THE SPOT. Issuing a warrant for whatever after the fact is a fucking joke and a waste of public funds.

They did Beckham a favor. Dragging him out of the Superdome in cuffs a half hour after he was giving out hundred dollar handshakes on the field is the ultimate bad "look".

I don't think that's what happened. I think he did it intentionally to insert himself into whatever was going on between the cop and the player. He wasn't slapping everyone around him and got the cop as part of that.
All that said, I would like to find the clip of the guy who was headed into the locker room and slapped the security guard (or camera man's) ass from this past weekend. I was imagining it being something like that.

I think the cop was letting it go until the video came out and then either he or someone higher up decided they needed to make an issue of it. No doubt everyone in the process feels like they have better things to do and this will all quietly be put to bed at some point down the road.
As for the "novelty" money, it's SEC football so LSU has absolutely nothing to fear from the NCAA; its statement is fodder for the sports reporters nothing more. Besides, there was no need to hand out "novelty" or real money to players; LSU has professional boosters to do that, and no doubt OBJ was a beneficiary.

Going two miles over speed limit ticket. Its called discretion, and a job like police officer requires a ton of it. If not find another line of work.

Going two miles over speed limit ticket. Its called discretion, and a job like police officer requires a ton of it. If not find another line of work.
Holy shit. Where the fuck is this thread going?
He's been doing more and more stupid shit. At first, I thought it was part of some social media act aimed at increasing followers and promoting his "brand" for increased revenues, but now it really looks like the guy has just gone off the rails and needs someone with half a brain to guide him back to something resembling normal.
I’d like to see what some of the people actually defending him do if they were out somewhere and bent over to pick something up and some dude you didn’t know slapped you on your ass like he did and then you turned around and he did some idiotic dance in your face. I really don’t think you’d be “ahh it’s no big deal”. Bullshit. And this situation is a cop on duty! Not good.
Would it have made a difference in anyone’s eyes if the cop was female? It shouldn’t but just think about that. How would you be reacting now? And again, it should not be any different how it is handled. But a lot of you who are defending him would see it differently if the cop was a female. And that should not be the case.

LOL
It totally was. If you watch closely, OBJ taps the LSU player sitting off to the side right before he does it as if to say "hey watch this". Then he slaps the cop. Then he taunts the cop by dancing and making his hands into guns and sings "get the gat, get the gat, get the gat..."

Listen what Odell did is inexcusable, but he did it because the cop was being a dick. And if the cop was female? Yeah if my aunt had balls she'd be my uncle. Whats your point?
The cops were in there making sure the underage LSU players weren't drinking. He was telling an LSU player to not drink when OBJ slapped his ass lol

What difference does it make why the cops were there? Or that they were a killjoy in regards to the players celebrating. That has ZERO to do with the issue at hand. ZERO.

someone who has worked in law enforcement for almost 20 years, I have never and will never let anyone touch me in that manner. You push me, you get cuffed. You slap my ass (happened in 2008), I cuff you. Let the judge figure it all out but I am not going to stand there and get disrespected. The lack of consequences to those that do these things coupled with the lack of action by today's Law Enforcement is what birth's things like water dousing of Police Officers in NYC etc.
Tommy, your proposed reaction makes some sense. Set the limit right there on appropriate behavior around and directed at law enforcement personnel.
My gripe with this is that WASNT DONE ON THE SPOT. Issuing a warrant for whatever after the fact is a fucking joke and a waste of public funds.
Not to mention, it's not a good "look" for any of the parties involved.
You are 100% correct, either arrest him on the spot or let it be. Issuing a warrant is some higher up's idea (someone who has not walked the streets for probably 30+ years) after looking at the video.
Or a boat chase in Miami

I think you'd have a similar core of people from back then. I loved what Beckham did for this team, but I can tell you I wouldn't have defended this...no matter the color of the uniform he wore.
I suppose when cops in NYC had water and milk dumped on them, they had that coming too?
that said, i wasn't expecting to see OBJ spiral like this. it's both sad and satisfying.

20 years. Been reading this site for 20 years. Posting for about 15. Been a lot of crazy/stupid in that time. Simos vs TheJake. BavaroFan and is pissy pants. "She's more than just a hole". Countless others.
And this tops them all. In a landslide, really. Tip of the hat to you, Brave Explorer. Youve found the bottom of the internet.
I can't believe anybody still thinks that it was a mistake to get rid of this asshole.
This sounds a lot like the Masai Ujiri incident when he 'shoved' a sheriff after the Raptors victory.
issuing a warrant for OBJs arrest for dancing with a cop and slapping his butt is a waste of the louisiana taxpayers dollars, yes. in my opinion. there's crime and then there's crime.
i realize there's an enthusiastic culture of police worship in the broader society that manifests here on BBI, but yea- this seems like trivial bullshit to me.
the police should focus on more important things, like protecting and serving the communities in which they work. no louisiana citizen is being protected or served here.

Theres a pretty significant difference between police worship and acknowledging that putting your hands on anyone, let alone a cop, is a dumb fucking idea that invites trouble.

The incident is all over social media and can have people thinking its OK to smack a cop on the ass. Unfortunately, its an offense to strike an officer and therefore, they are going to make it a point that it is a crime.
Ive been to NOLA before and they don't take much sh*t down there. Have seen the mounties pin multiple to buildings b/c they've been talking smack as they roll through to clear the street.
I don't ever recall seeing cops in locker rooms?

Last I knew, you could be charged with a crime for putting your hands on/assaulting a police officer? If this is let go, where is the line drawn? Where is the distinction made? As others have said, this clown has millions of followers and kids worshiping him and his every move, you really want millions of kids growing up thinking it's OK to put their hands on a cop and not thinking there will be any repercussions? I certainly don't.
But I’m glad he’s not on a team I root for any longer. He’s your typical jackass and knucklehead that everyone here grew up with and you shake your head at all the dumb shit he does. It’s common sense, you don’t touch police officers, no matter how innocuous your think it is. Then the taunting dancing afterwards? its unreal. He’s soon to become a cautionary tale.

You’re right. If John Doe does this he probably will get more punishment than say Odell. Odell will probably get off w not much of a penalty since he’s rich and can afford a big time lawyer. If you think that a cop in my town is bending over to pick up something and I slap his ass and then do a dance in his face and I won’t get arrested then I don’t know what to say. And no it wouldn’t be news. I’m not a celebrity. You really think the cop would go easier on me than a celebrity in that situation? Yea umm no.
All Odell cares about is himself. Glad hes gone.
I don't ever recall seeing cops in locker rooms?
The officer in question was employed by the Superdome; he wasn't New Orleans police.
Most people would call that a security guard, not a cop.
Probably why OBJ wasn't arrested on the spot. New Orleans police have now issued the arrest warrant based on video evidence of the slap on the Superdome officer.
I think the charge is fair. Keep your hands to yourself.
Guy with badge - ( New Window )
yes actually i do. Nobody cares about John Doe.
I don't ever recall seeing cops in locker rooms?
Odell is immature, he's immature with money, but really, they've just won the championship or whatever you call it, let them celebrate, let them get drunk. Totally avoidable situation, unless you feel that these dudes threaten the fabric of American values, which I seriously doubt is the case.
Should the cop complain? Well, that's really up to him.
However, I do hope the cop is paraded across the national media the same way this reporter was...

He probably is a cop working as security. Regardless, why does the Super dome have them in the locker room? Were they afraid LSU would trash the locker room? I just don't get it.
This article refers to him as a security officer, though he's clearly a police officer. I assume he's there being paid by the arena (or possibly the team), as is typical at some sporting events. Police would have no cause to be there on their own.
link - ( New Window )
Not only did he slap his ass which is bad enough but then he got in his face and disrespected him even more. OBJ proves on a regular basis why he is not good for a team. He is a great talent that others look up to and he continually leads others down the bad path. He doesnt learn and makes bad choices over and over again and then blames others for over reacting.
I dont know what the punishment should be but it is another reason why I am glad he no longer represents the NY Giants. For those that are blaming the cop for being a dick thats the wrong way to look at it. The cop is there to protect and uphold the law and while in uniform should be respected. that is what is wrong with the world today, too many people show no respect to anyone but feel like they should get respect.
You're right, he should've just cold-cocked him right there which is what I would've done.
So I apologize humbly and say here it is officer, would it be okay if I just put it on now? He responds in an extremely aggressive way that it was a clear violation and did I have a problem with it (“no officer”), then goes back to his car, and returns with a $100 ticket. After this lovely little 20 minute interlude, we walk into the bookstore in awkward silence.
So ... the cop was a prick. Neither protected not served a dad taking his kids to the bookstore after a long day of work. But ... as an adult in our society, one of the things you have to absolutely learn is ... don’t fuck with cops. Zero good comes out of it. Slapping a cop in the ass and then doing a taunting dance? OBJ has a long road ahead of him if this any indication of his judgment.
Im interested to know why he was giving them a hard time about the cigars. Makes you think something happened prior to the recording
im not defending OBJ here or saying he is a smart guy. i am glad he's no longer a giant. it seems like he is mentally ill. i just don't think it's an arrestable offense and to call it assault or battery is defining downward what assault and battery is.
i realize cops like deference and respect. i learned as a teen that if you're a dick to cops (verbally) they'll be a dick back and try and make your life as miserable as they can. and its definitely the case that OBJ was acting disrespectfully. he also was probably caught up in the moment or caught up in being the center of attention and making a spectacle of himself and didn't intend disrespect. again not defending him. i think he is mentally unhinged. it's kind of sad to see what a joke he's become.
now, i haven't watched the video- maybe it's egregious and i would be shocked and appalled if i saw it. but from reading about it doesn't sound like any real harm was done.
if it was a privately employed superdome security person/citizen who made a complaint/report to NO PD, it's a different story. the police are almost obligated to investigate/make an arrest given the high-profile nature of it. at any rate, i'll be curious to see what he's charged with. can't imagine he'll serve time over it.
and if it turns out it amounts to just a fine and a viral video/media moment, OBJ gets what he wanted all along and then some: to drive the sports news cycle and have everyone talking about him.
When I was teaching 15 year-olds. They got mad at me when I told them they were acting like "kindergarteners". And yes, they tried to use the "respect card" . OBJ is 10 years older and he's stuck in a four year old mentality.
There's an old saying - "It's sad to see a fool, but tragic to witness an old fool"

Similar issue for me a few years back. Live in Maryland and was driving in DC for a conference around 8am. Get pulled over by a DC cop and have no idea why. I saw him sitting on the side and then he came out and pulled me down. Then a second officer comes and he/they is/are taking a while with my info. He comes back and says that my registration was expired. Long story short, I was never notified by MD MVA and there was some sort of computer glitch so he didn't give me a ticker. As I drove off, I was like WTF? Don't the DC cops have anything better to do than bust peoples chops who don't even live in the district. With all the crime flying around in DC, I think the time spent by two different officers could have been much better. Get a god damn meter maid/butler to run around and write tickets for that shit.

And I decided to take my 3 oldest kids to a local bookstore after dinner. As I’m parking, a cop pulls up and flashes his lights. He rushes up to the window and starts sticking his flashlight in my face and shining it around the car. Very hostile vibe. He gets my license and registration and goes back to his car and spends a good solid 10 minutes running my info. Eventually comes back and says my registration sticker expired a day or two ago. I’m puzzled but I look and in on the console the new sticker is sitting there, still in the envelope — my wife had left it for me and I absent-mindedly didn’t see it. Whoops.

Mine was in the parking lot of Politics & Prose on Conn Ave. The cop was looking for trouble, sticking his flashlight a few inches from my face and I have zero doubt that if I had said anything but yes sir, no sir, things would have gone downhill quickly.

So you've taken part in this conversation all this time without knowing what the fuck you're talking about? You don't think thats a problem? Sounds about right.
the smack definitely seemed like it was intentionally disrespectful and OBJ is definitely a look-at-me dick/headcase and i have zero sympathy for him regardless of what happens legally- but he's getting what he wants, which is to have everyone talking about him in sports news and on the internet.
i'd be surprised if the punishment amounted to more than a small fine.
But, with a dipshit like OB the constant issues follow him and his poor judgement around. His bank account allows him to continue to not learn a thing.
99% correct. The 'cop' in question is actually a 'security guard'. A Barnie Fife wanna-be.
Moral of the story? Rent-a-cop gets rich!!!
should n't he be OUTSIDE the locker room making sure no-one unauthorized got in while LSU was CELEBRATING?
What if someone had sprayed the cop with Champagne is that assault also ?
seriously this is the SECURITY GUARD's fault for putting himself in the middle of place he was not wanted or NEEDED.

Always someone else's fault beside OBJ. Now its the stadiums fault for putting a security guard in the locker room. OBJ wasn't forced to slap him, mock him, or give college athletes illegal cash either for that matter. But ok, he did all that because the stadium assigned a security guard. Poor misunderstood Odell.
I don't know if this is a case like that, but I know there have been officers in the Clemson locker room after games.
I'm surprised you guys have watched college games, especially with Florida St. in the past and not even seen an officer escorting Bowden to the post-game handshake and eventually to the locker room
what could be the difference btween the two ?? HMMMMMMMM ????????

Regardless, it doesn't change this schmuck playing the race card here. Gronk has done some silly stuff, but no where near the same level as OBJ has, IMO.
But just to keep track, we now have comparisons to guards at Auschwitz and a racial conspiracy.

This isn't fucking Philly, people.
That's true, and he handled the aftermath of that by taking responsibility for his poor actions.
People who look for opportunities to play the race card are just the worst.
What Gronk does is mostly harmless fun. I can't remember a time where he hasAnd I have defended OBJ multiple times in the past, where I've felt he was taking undeserved criticism, but to bring the race card INTO THIS SITUATION where he is CLEARLY over the line and in the wrong, it just makes the poster (giantsfan2000) look like an absolute idiot.
Yeah, right after they won. What an asshole
But, kind of a dumb position to put the cops in. Probably, more prudent for cop to grab one of the coaches and have them direct players to put the cigar out - that's a better choice than arresting someone for a minor offense celebrating National Championship.
The initial sexual assault charge - supervisors have to review arrest charges - good sergeant reads those charges and asks ":" are you f'in serious?"
Security guard, aka rent-a-copy? No?

This works for me.

I would bet smoking of any form is not allowed in the locker room. The security guy was probably just trying to do his job to enforce that.
should n't he be OUTSIDE the locker room making sure no-one unauthorized got in while LSU was CELEBRATING?
What if someone had sprayed the cop with Champagne is that assault also ?
seriously this is the SECURITY GUARD's fault for putting himself in the middle of place he was not wanted or NEEDED.
Always someone else's fault. I don't know if you're a parent but if so I'm sure you blame your kids' teachers for bad grades/behavior too right?
Sounds like a boring Thursday night in the town I grew up in. How else is the booze going to find its way into the room?

I’m pretty sure it’s more his parents blaming his teacher.

I would agree with this except the cops came back in later and said it was okay for them to smoke the Cigars
This was my take as well. One what was a great night for the LSU players, OBJ did his damn best to make himself the center of the show as soon as he had a chance. Im sure he will somehow be the victim like usual though...

I have no idea if they later allowed it, but the security guard should definitely tell them not to smoke if that was his understanding. Most importantly, if heaven forbid there was a fire, people would be screaming “oh how could that security guard let them smoke in the locker room” and they would be right. He was just doing his job until someone tells me that he knew you could smoke and was being an asshole.
Obj is just an moron. It is always about him. He has singlehandedly ruined these kids celebration, whether it is with the money or now taking attention away with his arrest.
However, at the same time you could also feel that whoever is responsible for charging OBJ probably made a dumb decision. I guess you don’t want a viral video of someone disrespecting authority or law enforcement, but I mean to arrest him???
The difference between his behaviour and that of Barkley is night and day. Both generational talents. Very glad only one of them is still a Giant.

Yet, he finds a way to get arressted at the National Championship pretty much on TV.
He manages to stay out of trouble (off the field) in NYC, but gets arressted for doing something at a very high profile game with the cameras on him.
What a world.
I think OBJ has a gear loose in his head, so from the Giants' point of view -
good riddance.
That was embarrassing. Gettleman should go to the ring of honor for getting rid of this clown.
I had to you know actually fucking work, but I get it a lot of people don't around here. I stand by my fucking statements. It's cool though because I met another fucking genius on our AI team and just fucked her brains out. But you guys keep letting the fucking police pull baby dick shit like this.
Oh and Massachussetts, the terrorists have won, its fucking illegal to JUUL inside. The state where the Boston Tea Party occurred, its illegal to fucking JUUL inside. I didn't float around the Persian Gulf for two years for this stupid bullshit police state. Freedom is dead in America. Well maybe except for Florida. Oh if anyone wants to check my creds, I'll come to Toasted Monkey next year for a Giant game out in St. Pete Beach. Actually lived in the I'm honestly not even going to bother posting too much anymore because this site has been taken over by cunts. I don't even understand why Fatman bothers trying to fight the good fight. And I've been on this site for over 20 years, practically since I've been 10. Peace.

They did allow it, it's in the linked article

That wasn't a pat, he slapped the guy's ass. Should he be charged? No, I don't think so but don't soft-sell what the moron did
Slap Azz!
What is the moral of the story? If Odell is nearby, keep your phone camera rolling... you may get something to sell to TMZ

I think law enforcement said we can’t have a video out there of contact with a cop without a penalty for a celebrity. I get the slippery slope of allowing contact on offices and I get the OBJ is a compete and utter moron, but this is one that would I would let go because people will now say “you see the police are unreasonable”
But obj is just an asshole who has no respect for any human being, be it the cop, the bandleader, the kids celebrating a once in a lifetime opportunity. I used to defend him for working hard, but he is such me first person that I am glad we are rid of him.

yep, on all points...
Link - ( New Window )
Total asshole move. He deserves to be in trouble and he deserves chargers (which I assume will likely be reduced). You can't put your hands on a cop like that (or really anyone for that matter), and his demeanor was utterly idiotic, childish, and ridiculous.
Total dumbass. He's 27, he isn't a kid anymore. Can't believe I've come all the way around on this but it's becoming pretty god damn apparent he'll never grow the fuck up.
Crazy, but not hard to believe there have been thousands of posts on something this minor.

it is my opinion that the police only took action once the video began to circulate. It almost forced their hand at that point to do something. I have a feeling if there was no video, nobody would know about this and therefore no arrest warrant.

If OBJ simply smacked the guy in the ass in a playful way, that is one thing. However, he wound up and smacked the guy in an aggressive way IMO. Not that it "hurt" at all...but that it was definitely NOT friendly.
This guy is lionized in the NFL? He ought to be barred from the league.
They did!
This was always going to happen. IMO the only reason charges were brought up in the first place is because there was video and it was embarrassing to the security officer.
This is basically the MO of any issue since the advent of social media. Any time there is video, it forces someone to act as a show of power; rightly or wrongly. You would hope that the right decision would be made without video proof, but the lynch mobs demand justice so people act irrationally.
Ray Rice and Kareem Hunt should have been dealt with appropriately before video leaked and forced NFL's hand. At the same time, is it worth the waste of time and effort to arrest a guy for a slapping a security guards butt only to drop the charges? Probably not, but the public video changes the math on that one.

And it wasn’t malicious at all. I think the officer needs to lighten up a bit. You’re in the locker room after a national championship win. Give me a break.
Funny, I'm the opposite. I thought it was a dumb story *until* I watched the video. The officer looked like he was doing business to me and OBJ looked like he was interfering with that. I wouldn't call it malicious, but it didn't look like the fun celebration I originally thought it was going to be.
Holy shit, you're absolutely right. I simply assumed it was a playful, celebratory things as well -- it seemed to be a safe assumption to make given the situation and circumstances, like when Toomer once high fives a ref who'd signalled touchdown. Bit after watching the video I see that's not the case -- the slap was something of an interruption while the cop was already engaged in something. And OBJ's facial expression hardly looked celebratory.
