We're the Only Ones Practicing What We Preach Enough

Cedric Benson fully intends to fight misdemeanor charges of boating while intoxicated and resisting arrest stemming from a Saturday night incident near Austin, Texas, during which police used pepper spray to detain him.
It's nice to see "The Only Ones" adopt their own recommendations for a change.

I guess I was wrong. You really can use pepper spray on Bears.

Looks like "Boating while Black" is a crime that needs more enforcement.

Especially when these uppity black football players are endangering people on an anchored boat.

No wonder they had to mace and arrest the guy. Next time he may have wanted to anchor his cabin cruiser in an all-white lake.

Can't have that. Better nip it in the bud. Best to stop this bad behavior while it's only the thin edge of the wedge.

It's a good thing they sprayed him before a witness could "interfere."

What is this - 1958? Racist b***ards.

I don't believe the cops. Partly because so many of them are untrustworthy and that has become my default position, but mostly because they would have arrested him on the spot if he had failed the sobriety checks on the boat and not needed to take him to shore for further field sobriety checks.

They had a preset outcome, in my opinion, and when he didn't comply by failing the checks they decided to do more until they reached the desired outcome.
