The officer appears to show great restraint

BB is very fortunate.
Regardless of why officer's attention was drawn to BB, he should simply listen to direction given. Even the lady in the video understood that.
That could have been a tragedy.

video. His original tweet said some other guys walked up and threw things into his vehicle.
In the video BB doesn't appear to be physical or confrontational, he appears to be trying to plead with the officer to listen to him.
Yes, the answer is to always listen to the police and comply. But if an officer is trying to arrest you for something you genuinely did not do, it is difficult to know how you would react unless you have been through it. I'm not saying he is innocent or not.

First there isn't anyone in jail that did the crime. Second the officer is trying to detain not necessarily arrest him. Third, all Breeland did was catch an actual charge he can't deny that could be a felony depending on how the State views his actions. He turned a couple misdemeanor charges into something that didn't have to be. If the weed isn't yours you are at a place where video cameras are in abundance, fight it in court. Don't do something that not only may cost you your career but could have cost him his life. What he did was ignorant. Jerking away then barricading yourself behind the driver side door with your hands not in plain site is a very quick and easy way to die. If Breeland was participating in a "How To Confront Police" class he failed miserably. I think Breeland is a heck of a player and I have little doubt he's not a good person but you can't do what he did. Whether he did it or not is irrelevant, fighting the charge at the gas station is never going to work out for the subject.

convicted in court and video cameras never fail. Right?
I do not disagree that everything he did in moving away from the officer and especially getting behind his door/trying to get back into his vehicle was dangerous and not something you should ever do. All I am saying is it is difficult to judge someone in that position. Fright, anger, worry and other emotions can make you do weird things in the moment, things you would not do otherwise. Watching that video from behind a computer screen with a cool head, it is easy to think he should just stand still, listen to the officer and comply. It's not always that simple in the moment.

I really hate to hear folks say there isn't any guilty people in jail when meaning it as a slur bc DNA has now gotten 100's of not guilty people out of prison after serving most of their lives in prison that were really innocent. How do you give those folks that time back, and 90% of the time, it's been black folks that were falsely accused and found guilty of crap they didn't do. Knowing that if I were a Black male, I think I would be a little irritated and wanting to explain what was real before the cuffs were clamped down around my wrist bc you are probably feeling that you are about to be found guilty of something that you really didn't do!!!

Just admit you’re being ridiculous to defend Breeland’s actions. Stressful or not, he acted stupidly and this could’ve gone much worse for him.

You sound just like a lawyer. If he’s innocent, let his lawyer prove it rather than risking getting shot. Plain and simple to anyone not a cop chasing attorney. Comply. Guaranteed staying calm would have made his defense stronger.

That is exactly my feelings also. Say very little, and offer nothing not ask, and depending on what is ask, don't say anything that could and will be used against you. If they say sit, you sit, stand, you stand, turn around and put your hands behind your back, do it and do it quickly, but never never never take a breathalyzer test bc, 99.9% of DUI lawyers can get you out of that charge if you refuse a breathalyzer, and if they are videotaping you, don't try and prove you're not drunk by submitting to a field sobriety test bc, if a picture says a 1000 words, a video says 10,000 loud and clear words!!!

May 1, 2020, 3:23 PM

but everything else is spot on. Do what they say and comply unless they are violating your rights.
Breeland should have listened and complied. The only point I have made repeatedly is that it's difficult to say that any of us would comply in that same situation. Some of us would, some of us would panic and not be thinking straight while begging and pleading with the officer to take a step back and listen.
We're also only seeing a brief video throughout the entire event.

you for not complying. That is ludacris!!

He had a gun drawn on him bc he jumped back into the vehicle where he could've easily had a gun or some other weapon in there. Simple P doesn't have to be an arrestable offense. Typically these days you're given a ticket and sent on your way. It doesn't even suspend your driver's license anymore. DUI is a way harsher charge. I'm guessing bc BB didn't have a license and couldn't prove his identity combined with the dope is why he was being arrested. He may have also talked his way into that as well.

than the officer carries. He doesn’t. So he has to draw his gun and be prepared. He is not interested in shooting BB, he just wants to protect himself and make it home to his family. BB didn’t follow instructions and made a bad decision, that is not the officers fault.

Every arrest that’s shown that has a minority being arrested end up with those being arrested giving the police officer a ration of crap.This officer in my opinion put up with way too much crap.He should have ended it quickly.I have always been told that when you are told you are under arrest your freedom is then restricted and you submit or accept getting your butt kicked.This thug needed his butt kicked

Black men go from college million professionals quickly:.. rarely heard a white young man referred to as thug.... thug is often another way of saying the N-Word IMHO... and I say this not necessarily agreeing with his actions or morality. Just despise what you just did. It’s hard to trust and not fear someone who is one mistake or police action from being a thug so they are easily shor or dismissed

May 1, 2020, 4:06 PM

overplayed narrative in this case can you? We all know there will be exceptions to any rule. You aren't hitting me with any groundbreaking info. Those bad cops get dealt with, they get fired, they go to jail. Thats what the law is for and those guys learn they are not above it. So i'm all for ridding the country of dirty cops like those you mention.
But its a very pernicious and flippant to paint the whole lot of them with that brush and btw is only for an overwhelming minority of police officers. For every cop you show how many are doing it the right way? Yet our click bait society feeds our young people this garbage that "cops are bad" and legitimize the behavior of defying authority bc you just know you didnt'do anything wrong. Gets people killed. BB doesn't know how close he got to making his last decision in life and for what?
Everybody makes bad decisions but his was made alot easier with the recent up-tick in portraying our law enforcement officers as the bad guys. In BB's case i don't think he had all of faculties there. IF he wasn't drunk he was on something bc he was acting like a drunk would act. So i'm sure that played into this but..i'm just glad he finally complied and didn't get what he was asking for.

I didn't even mention the Breeland video nor did I say every cop is like this. My point was that there was a long history of racism in america in general and within law enforcement which is the reason for the distrust. It's not some small problem that was invented by the media (although the media obviously profits off of the problem).

but the glamorization of a small faction of the whole has spoiled the bunch and we are seeing the fruits of that with this new trend among our young folks. Always think the worst. Instead of saying yes sir or no sir.

Hmm, it seems like all of these videos have something in common! They all have people in them NOT complying with authority! Stop with the oppressed narrative! Comply with the freaking law and answer questions with a lawyer present! It’s not that hard. Cops will not shoot you, I REPEAT, will not shoot you if you put your hands behind your back, not struggle and do as the officer suggest until his investigation is complete. Geez! A freaking 2 year old listens and comprehends better!

This was really scary and could have gone so wrong. I have always told my kids if a cop tells you to do something do it. We will sort it out later. Just do what they say, and if something is wrong we will fight it in court. Why can't people just follow what the cops say?
This...one thousand times this. You will never win fighting the police on the spot. Document what you can/if you can with photos, video, and witnesses but nothing good is going to come out of fighting with the police at the scene - only bad. There will come a time you can fight with the police but it is best done with lawyers who are pros at it...

I live right down the street from this gas station. It is odd to me that it is a sheriff making the arrest. I have not seen a York county Sheriff near my area in years. The gas station is right down the street from the North Carolina line so maybe it is a Mecklenburg county sheriff and that is why the story came out he was arrested in Charlotte.

Agree. He kept running his mouth and wouldn't let the cop handcuff him. Others telling him to cooperate and he wouldn't listen.

To save their LIVES.... that is crazy to have to say an officer- NOT a judge can sentence and carry out the penalty right there- if you show the least bit of resistant or disrespect. I grew up respecting officers as I do my friends who are in law enforcement for completely different reasons. And one of them is not that I think they will kill me because they feel disrespected

you can’ not resist, then enter a vehicle that could have a gun in it, and expect officer not to draw his gun.
To make matters worse, does college, NFL not teach these guys anything? He can hire a boat load of attorneys to rectify whatever injustice he feels was imparted. Just shut up, follow directions, pled the 5Th, let your lawyer handle. Really not that hard if you have the money he does.

Break the law and go to jail. The worse thing for athletes is they have a responsibility to represent their school or employer. Would your company allow you to work for them if you did what Breeland did?

One more thing, the federal government needs to step in if that was the case and they were only smoking weed. It needs to be banned everywhere or it needs to be legalized everywhere. It’s absurd for one man to do it legally in one state and in another state, like in this case almost cost a man his life.

To an extent... yes. That was what the original story said. The officer suspected the smoking/ possessing marijuana. What have the officer suspicion of marijuana? Clearly that is the reason the officer approached as stated in the story. Do you know how many people in all states pay for prisoners that have only went to prison for repeated marijuana distribution offenders? It’s absolutely dumb to live in a society where it is perfectly legal 1ft in font of an imaginary line and the other foot will land you in jail, with a fine or put people in a situation like this.
While yes. Breeland acted like a dummbass, the situation could be avoided all together if the officer wasn’t looking for something so petty as marijuana. Alcohol kills more people and more dangerous and worse off it is legal in all 50 states.

Thankful no one was hurt. Officer showed a lot of restraint. I think Breeland was just in shock that this was actually happening. I hope everything works out - all the facts come out, pays his fines, serves his time, and gets back on the field for a couple more seasons.

Just because an officer cuffs you in moments like this doesn't necessarily mean you are under arrest.. They could just be detaining you for a few minutes to ask you questions.. In this situation there needs to be a little more context.. The officer was obviously called because of an altercation, and if BB was part of the altercation and tried to leave the scene (which that looks like what he was trying to do) before he could be questioned, and then proceed to refuse to stay and comply, they can detain you until they have your information.. If you consistently refuse, then you will be charged with resisting..

Just comply is correct. I was charged with a felony and brought to jail. I knew I was 100% innocent and knew I should not litigate with the officers on the scene. I’ll admit that while I thought it would be cleared up the next day, my attorney bluntly told me, the DA is serious and will use a full three years before they drop the charges. Attorney had the timeline 100% correct. I had $ for an attorney, brains to fight it and lucked out with a very credible witness that didn’t disappear. If I had lacked some of that I might have enjoyed free biscuits courtesy of the state for ten years. I do believe there are innocent folks in jail. With that said I will always comply with all instructions delivered by an officer.

put him in handcuffs, BB would definitely win that fight. Didn’t seem like he had any backup there him at the time. The only way to get him in handcuffs until someone else could help him forcibly cuff him, would have been to either tase him or get him to comply. Seemed like he was trying all he could to not use his taser, and get him to comply. Think he handled it about as well as he could being a smaller guy with no backup, who didn’t want to use his taser unless it was a last resort.

Using a taser is less of an escalation than pulling a pistol and pointing it at someone.
No reason for a smaller cop to wrestle a NFL football player. Tasers work wonders for gaining compliance. BB should have gotten the juice, been put face-down on the pavement and cuffed. Probably before he went to get back into the car, but definitely at that point.
Both BB and the officer would have been in less danger. Once that pistol is out you are just one miscalculation by either party away from a bad situation getting much much worse.

I was actually thinking how long is the officer going to take this crap? Showed pretty good restraint up until the point of resisting arrest.
