I get that you just can’t slap a cop on the ass but c’mon, man.

But now universities consider looking at someone the wrong way or asking them on a date to be sexual assault and young men get absolutely no due process when accused of a crime.  It's pretty pathetic. To be a male on a campus today means you better where sun glasses and keep your hands in your pockets lest you look a someone or accidentally graze them while walking past them.

I'm in my early 40's.  If ass slapping counted as sexual assault 30 years ago, 75% of the kids (boys and girls) in my middle and high schools would have records.  There used to be A LOT of ass slapping going on.

Also, can we have that referee from the 2016 Game brought up on charges now?  The one that so lovingly caressed Mike Weber's ass.  On camera.

You were way ahead of the game, my friend.  I’m 44, grew up in NYC, but didn’t really know ass eating was a mainstream way of life until the rap world started to promote it about 10-12 years ago. 

Coming from a Wall St trading desk, I thought life was all about cocaine and strippers on weeknights.

i went to Stuyvesant HS from 89-93 but don’t ever recall anyone ever bragging about eating tushy. But then again, Stuy didn’t have the hippest student body.

Give the cop a break

The players were smoking cigars. One lineman even tossed a lit cigar in a trashcan and started a small fire according to The Ringer that the cop had to put out

This is on the LSU coaching staff. They shouldn't have allowed players to smoke in the locker room. Everyone knows you cant smoke indoors now a days

OBJ is the idiot here. Tossing around cash, slapping cops ass. This guy fucked up on multiple levels

On 1/1/98 I was in a hotel party with one Glenn E. "Bo" Schembechler as he insisted on celebrating the NC with a cigar (while he stood on a table, gave a victory speech and led the room in "The Victors"). As this was directly in violation of CA law, the bartender got pretty agitated and started telling Bo it needed to be put out.  That didn't go well!

I don't know who said (or paid) what, but I was awfully thankful that the barkeep stood down. And was also glad 1998 cell phones weren't recording it, because that would've taken some of the fun out of a fantastic moment.

Yes. And although it was hardly the end of the world, there was a measure of drunken hostility in that slap. Not sexual, to my eye, but seeing someone's vulnerability and brazenly whacking them.

I'm no string em up law and order guy but that looks worthy of official reprimand to me.

Yeah I thought the same thing... I watched the video and said "oh c'mon," until I saw the look on his face and demeanor and it suddenly looked like a hostile act.

On the other hand, if you watch the longer version of this video, that officer is poking around the players stuff and generally looks like he trying to be a wet blanket on their celebration. Doesn't justify hitting him, but if I were the police in this situation I would let the whole thing go.

Says a lot more about the cop (or whichever prosecutor decided it was worth anything after seeing the video) than it does about obj.

EDIT: I stand corrected. Additional comments report that there is a longer version of the video showing OBJ flicking a baggie of coke at the officer before slapping him on the ass. It appears OBJ was just being a douche and probably deserved it given the entire scenario.

You wouldn't slap a teacher on the ass when you know the next result can lead to suspension/expulsion from school right? Funny when all these athletes and their ego's think they can walk on water. But mission accomplished for OBJ, his name is in the headlines more than you know, the actual players that won the National Championship.

What he did isn't a crime whether you agree with it or not. The cop was overzealous doing his job trying to take cigars away from players. You can tell just by looking at him in the actual video that any little thing would set him off. Is your judgement always 100% certain at all times? Now add alcohol and celebration to the mix and this is what you get. The cop must have had his ego bruised and now needs to save face by suing the rich person who did him wrong. I never said he shouldn't have did what he did but to be punished over THAT is bullshit. 

Edit: I jumped the gun with the lawsuit talk but that will be next.

So going by your logic here, if you did the same exact thing to your teacher back in HS/College, or your boss at work in a room full of people, you think you wouldn't receive any punishment for your actions? Oh, but because it's an officer in uniform it's not a crime, got it.

Really?  You can just tell that huh? 

The cop must have had his ego bruised and now needs to save face by suing the rich person who did him wrong.

Or, as according to reports, officer was just trying to do his job and some rich drunk assholes were making his job difficult.  I hope OBJ goes to jail.
