ADP arrested (1 Viewer)

well, we could try using a little common sense, although maybe not so common around here.

When engaged in off-duty employment of a non-police nature,

and

the officer's actions are only in furtherance of the interests of the private

employer.

if the first part were really one and the same with the second part, there'd be no need for an and.

arresting a guy for fighting is furtherance of general public interests.

if you notice, that iowa city policy notes that a police officer has police powers 24 hours a day throughout the jurisdiction

If you'd bothered to read what the HPD claimed happened, AD pushed the off-duty cop when the off-duty cop asked AD to leave (furthering the interests of his employer) and before the off-duty cop told AD he was under arrest:

Kese Smith, the PIO for the Houston PD, tells TMZ an off-duty police officer was working security for the club Live! at Bayou Place when closing time approached and he told various patrons it was time to leave.

Smith says the officer had to come back and tell Peterson a second time that he needed to leave and Peterson shot back, "Hey man, we heard you the first time!" and pushed the officer in the back of his shoulder, causing him to stumble.

Smith says the officer then told Peterson to turn around and put his arms behind his back because he was under arrest and Peterson began yelling at the officer. Smith says the officer repeated himself and that's when Peterson turned around to face the officer and got in "an aggressive stance."

Smith says a second off-duty cop came over to assist, but Peterson continued to resist, ignoring several verbal warnings.

A third officer then rushed over, Smith says, and they were finally able to arrest him and take him to jail.

Your parsing of the language is therefore irrelevant. You just aren't very good at this.

Right, he was arrested for pushing a security guard who was furthering his employer's interest. What part of this don't you get?

Stupid act on Peterson's part. He's already admitted fault by apologizing. Pay a fine, serve a short NFL suspension and move on.You can't see much in the cell phone video, but it looks like 2 uniformed officers leading him out in cuffs.

Did he apologize publicly, or did somebody else claim that he apologized? The statement from his lawyer didn't include an apology...I would not assume right now that Peterson will be suspended. I'd wait and see what really happened.

Yes. I'd be shocked if the Houston police department allows its officers to serve as private security guards while wearing their police uniforms. I think it's likely that the off-duty cop called in some on-duty cops to lead Peterson away in cuffs, which is what we see in the video.

I take back the apology part as apparently it was someone else claiming he apologized. The security camera in the club should show how everything started.

I think that's likely too. It's not like the security guard could cuff him and take him to police headquarters because he was working as a security guard at the time.

Peterson's attorney, Rusty Hardin, called the charge and the allegation that he shoved the officer "a total fabrication."

"He, in fact, was struck at least twice in the face for absolutely no legitimate reason, and when all the evidence is impartially reviewed, it will clearly show Adrian was the victim, not the aggressor," Hardin said in a statement.

Hardin told NFL Live that Peterson visited a doctor Tuesday to have bruises over his eye examined. During an interview with KFAN-100.3 in the Twin Cities, Hardin said Peterson got "punched in the face by fists several times" in the melee. He also had both shoulders pulled, according to Hardin, but the injuries are considered minor.

"We're talking about bruises, not anything that's going to affect his ability to play or anything like that," Hardin said. "… Nobody was seriously long-term hurt, but there's no question that he was the one that got hit and not the police officer."

Until we know more, however, I think it's wrong to assume that the off-duty officer acted appropriately. It's also wrong to assume that he acted inappropriately. We don't know yet.

Crazy talk. It's obvious that either ADP is an out of control thug or the police officer is a racist pig.
