Did you read the article or are you just talking out of your ass? He started by blaming the cop for losing two games and then he asked him what sport he played. Then he backtalked him even more.
If you think cops have an agenda to screw with people you're probably that douchebag that shouldn't be drinking.
"Athletic Association policy calls for a suspension of 10 percent of the season for a first-time alcohol incident, something that was on Munzenmaier's mind when he thanked the arresting officer from Athens-Clarke County for 'costing him two games,' according to the incident report."
"After the comment about losing two games, the officer asked Munzenmaier what sport he played.
'Look at me,' the 6-foot-1, 225-pound Duluth native said, according the report. 'What sport do you think I play?'"
Try again. I specifically read BOTH articles, becuase the AJC can't be trusted, and usually you can't get the whole story from one source. Many times, you have to read between the lines. It's called bias. It happens when only one person has complete control of a situation.
I think cops (except for Atlanta cops, I've never really seen this out of them) in general spend more time on revenue schemes than actually protecting people.
Like I said, I've never been arrested. However, I'll tell you a little story.
I was in Athens my freshman year for a party at these girls' apartment. I'm very good friends with them, especially good friends with one of them. After the party died down (keg and hunch punch ran out), we decide to go to Waffle House (we had a DD, before you ask). My very good friend was just flat out tired, and decided to go to bed. We get to Waffle House, and after we are there for a little while, one of the roommates phone's starts ringing. Before she can answer it, it stops. It was the other roommate still at the apartment. The roommate who got the call didn't call her back, but I thought it was weird, so I did. The girl still at the apartment was bawling, so we hurried home.
On the way home we figure out that someone had broken into the apartment (we now think it was someone we had caught earlier that night trying to steal an iPod), and had somewhat trashed the place. The girl at the apartment woke up and heard it, opened her door, saw someone walk through one of the doorways, and slammed and locked her door. She called us, then called the police. The police were there before us, and we just stayed outside. Nothing actually get stolen, although all of the laptops were in a stack along with a pile of jewelry. The cops look around inside and out of the apartment, and say they can't find anyone. One of the cops finishes getting the scared roommate's statement, while the other one pulls all the rest of us aside.
He then goes to tell us that we should be ashamed of ourselves, and that this kind of **** isn't funny. That we owe the girl an apology and should fess up for letting this kind of joke get out of hand. We tell him flat out that we were at Waffle House the entire time. After trying to reasonably tell him what happened, I just walk away, soon to be followed by everyone else.
That was one of my first real run-ins with the cops. Left a lasting impression. Made me realize that yes, people in important positions really usually are that bad at their jobs. I then realize that I know 3 people my age who are training to be cops, and only 1 is a high school graduate. The others got their GED.
The kid should have just kept his mouth shut as soon as the cop approached him. It's by far the best policy. There is no reason to be rude (although how often do cops arrest happy people?), in fact, there is no reason to speak at all. However, there is as much reason to flat out believe what a cop says is the honest to God truth as there is to believe the player.
