The report that I saw stated that Anderson ran two red lights and was driving over 100 mph. I don't live in Florida like I assume you do, but I assume if Florida put a red light somewhere it is because there is potential cross-traffic that would have a green light at the same time. As for the time of night, most places do not deactivate the traffic lights after midnight. Sorry if my concern for others offended you--As a lawyer I was involved in a case where a young man with a bright future was killed by another man who was fleeing in his car trying to avoid getting pulled over. He ran a red light too and killed the victim on his motorcycle in the intersection.
I was preaching the same thing. But Bowles loves going with vets over rookies and has proven that many times. He usually waits too long, or is forced to play rookies out of necessity, like injury to a starter.
What a dumb post. So because he didn't endanger any humans, I guess it's a victimless crime? It's OK for him to threaten sexually assaulting the cops wife. He ran two red lights you dingbat. There's obviously a reason why there's traffic lights there.
He's our best/most explosive/most dangerous offensive player so we're screwed. The best player Mike MacCagnan has brought in as GM of the NYJ. No playoffs the first three years, no mandate to make the playoffs going into year four. No worries because we're doing things the "right way" now.
Your post didn't offend me in the least. I was merely pointing out your exaggeration of the situation. I am very familiar with the intersection and I question weather Anderson was driving 105 mph. The lights obviously alternate red and green, but they are for SR 84 . It is a service road for I 595 which has exits for each Cross road in the area. Most traffic would be turning. As a lawyer, I'm quite sure you are aware of more than 1 occasion where a police officer embellished a report. I feel for the victim in the case you mentioned, I have lost family to motor vehicle accidents myself. But Anderson did not kill anyone. Was not in an accident, No one was injured. And many people were not endangered.
Dingbat..... Lmao. Your intelligence , or lack there of is very entertaining. He was speeding, ran 2 lights, very stupid thing to do. It's quite possible he saw the officer and panicked. Not because he was worried about a speeding ticket but because it was just after 2 am, and he is black driving in a predominantly white , expensive neighborhood and all too often we know how that ends. But given your recent racist comments, get out of jail free because he's black I believe was what you posted. You probably think it's deserved.
EVERYONE knows the drill when you get caught speeding. Apparently, Anderson does NOT know and you are more than willing to go to bat for the idiot. If he sped, ran 2 red lights, and the cops wanted to talk to him, he should have had the common sense to pull the f*ck over. And apparently, what YOU don't seem to understand is that regardless of what color his skin is and the cops observing him, if he simply driven the speed limit and not 60 MPH over the speed limit, he could have driven right past the cops and guess what? They would have done NOTHING. However, in addressing your stupid accusation within this post, I will tell you free and clear, I am not a racist. However, you strike as one of those guys that constantly has a chip on your shoulder about some perceived unfair thing going on? THAT I do not respect. THAT I do not like........
This is my first post. Yes, I remember 1/12/69. I was a prosecutor for 27 years, and I'd like to share my impressions of the Robbie Anderson report. 1. There is no mention of whether this incident was captured with a dashcam or bodycam. If it was, it's bad news for Anderson, because those tapes are always more jarring than a police report or testimony. Remember that the Ray Rice incident wasn't a big deal until the tape surfaced. 2. So far, we have only the arresting officer's report, which ends during the ride to HQ. There are undoubtedly supplemental reports that contain more information. 3. Anderson won't be able to claim profiling. The officer was involved in another traffic stop when Anderson zipped by him at a high speed. That's not the scenario for a bogus DWB stop. 4. The most amazing thing is that the officer checked No on the box asking whether there was any indication that Anderson was under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Wow. There are a lot of factors here suggesting possible drug or alcohol use: erratic driving (high speed, slowing to a crawl, failing to maintain his lane), his conduct at the stop (he started to get out of his car without placing it in Park), and his weird statements during the ride to HQ. In a way, this hurts Anderson because he can't blame drugs/alcohol, go into a rehab program, and proclaim that he's a changed man. I'm really surprised that the police didn't administer roadside-sobriety tests or horizontal gaze nystagmus tests. 5. It doesn't appear the police found any drugs or firearms. They inventoried (i.e, searched) his vehicle, and there is no mention of anything being found. 6. The charges have to be taken with a grain of salt. It looks like the police loaded him up with every conceivable charge and are going to let the prosecutor sort it all out. That's really common. Been there many times. 7. The motor-vehicle charges are the least of Anderson's worries. At most, he probably faces only fines and a license suspension, but he's making enough money to pay his bill when his insurance rates go through the roof. 8. On the threat charge, there's no indication the "threat" was anything more than loose talk. I can't see that charge going too far. Ultimately, it may serve only as a piss-off factor for the police, the prosecutor, the trial judge and the jury. Prosecutors love to offer evidence showing that the defendant is an asshole. 9. Without a tape, the resisting charge may not go too far. This type of passive resistance (e.g., stiffening up and bracing) probably won't have a lot of appeal to a prosecutor or a jury. Again, it's asshole evidence. 10. The eluding charge is big trouble for Anderson. That will be the killing-zone here. I don't know what his exposure is under Florida law, but eluding is serious business, especially when it involved driving at more than twice the speed limit and failing to keep in his lane. A dashcam could kill him here. This kind of wild driving endangered the police and anyone else who happened to be out on the road even at 2:15 a.m. Prosecutors, judges and juries take this kind of conduct very seriously. 11. I don't see any indication that the police advised him of his Miranda rights. It probably doesn't matter because he immediately asserted his right to counsel and his statements on the ride to HQ seem to have been spontaneous. In short, we'll have to see what develops, especially whether the prosecutor is out for blood and wants to make an example of Anderson.
Welcome to the board! Good to read from a former legal professional on matters such as this. Having another babyboomer never hurts either... LOL
Thank you. Baby Boomers unite! By the way, Robbie Anderson may be bound for the Pit of Misery, either jail or the Cleveland Browns.
From the bullet points you made , and they seem fair, but In this case, I believe the arresting officer more than a young irresponsible kid that has already had an incident previously last year that almost got him in trouble. This kid is a lit fuse waiting to explode, which can be seen on the field also. He'll need a real good defense attorney to get out of this one without some minor penalty to pay. But I think the damage is done and the Commissioner will have a say in this.
At first I was hoping that somehow this could be salvaged. After giving it more thought I agree with you 100%.This is not how you build a winning culture having guys like this on the team.And let's face it Anderson is good but he's not Randy Moss.
I wish that we could turn Bowles and Rodgers into cases of Bud Light! (I don't drink that crap, but at least we'd be rid of the two).
