Lying to police is okay where you live?
ETA: Or is it simply "goofiness" because Suh is a profesional athlete and that's what we've come to expect from them?
It's apparently ok to lie to the police here in Chicago. Lance Briggs crashed his Lamborghini in 2007 at 4AM on a downtown highway, fled the scene (could have been drunk), and reported his car stolen. Only to later admit he "panicked" and got off scot free. Much worse than Suh and nobody looks at him in a negative light.Nothing to see here in my eyes. It's a car accident and he or may not have been trying to get out of a reckless driving ticket. IMO, the NFL has no business investigating traffic tickets and car accidents (when no crime like drunk driving/stolen car was involved).
Also, under Oregon law, it's NOT illegal to lie to the police regarding...it's only illegal to give a false name. And given that the woman didn't say anything until they they needed someone to pay for the medical bills because they couldn't do it themselves, there could be an ulterior motive to claiming Suh was reckless...who knows. He said, she said.
Their is a problem with the police report. Making a false POLICE REPORT especially when injuries have been covered up is different from lying to the police. You might lie to the police for any numbers of reasons that have nothing to do with a crime but filing a FALSE POLICE REPORT to COVER-UP an injury is a pretty big thing.
You have to take a look at the car. Take a look at it and then ask how that car got so banged up in a 25 mile per hour zone? Blood on the windshield. The cops see its the famous Ndamukong Suh and he says he was passing a taxi and they let him off the hook.
This would have been swept under the rug except the girl had to get the POLICE REPORT changed to take care of her medical bills.
Now he's in hot water and so are the Portland cops who allowed him to get off the hook.
Oh and hte woman who got injured?
She's getting threats from the fans of Suh in the Portland area. She fears for her life. WHY?
SO SOME RICH PUNK who was showing off in his car and the cops who allowed him to walk can get away with a crime.
And this is his fault? I hate this mob mentality and piling on. This is a guy who has never been in trouble with the law, yet he's been aggressive on the football field and had a few times in the last couple years been overly aggressive and went too far. He was an extremely standup guy coming into the NFL, and now after a couple aggressive plays I've heard every insult of character hurled at him on these boards and compared his "goofiness" to Big Ben (essentially raped a girl) and Sandusky (raped multiple boys) in this very thread. You guys take things too far. He tried to get out of a reckless driving ticket...
That woman would not have gotten death threats if Suh had done the right thing. Suh is reponsible for showing off and speeding which lead to the crash, Suh is reponsible for not allowing her to get medical treatment, Suh is responsible for lying to the police. She is getting threats right now. WHAT COULD NDAMUKONG SUH DO RIGHT NOW? How abouut step up and tell the truth and accept blame and tell his supporters to back off. He is repsonsible not the woman. He should have been a man and not been out with a married woman, he should not have tried to show off, he is responsible.
Crowd mentality? Its a bigger issue than that. The Portland black commuity gets screwed by the cops every day. Its really bad. Their are skinheads and a lot of racial crimes. The black community hangs together very tightly. Suh is a hero. ANYONE who dares to say a thing against him, especially a black woman (the woman who was injured is black) would be ripped apart by that community. Suh knows this, everyone who has lived there knows it.
Suh has to step up or she is in danger.
There is way too much conclusion jumping here. First, we can't say for to what degree the woman needed medical attention, or whether she was asking for medical attention at the scene of the accident. Second, we have no idea who these women are, so the suggestions that they were prostitutes is total speculation. Third, the police have a responsibility to evaluate the scene of the accident and determine if medics need to be called. This does not fall all on Suh's shoulders. Fourth, we do not know whether he made a false statement to the police and/or whether he had a motive to do so. It may be that he was indeed "passing a taxi cab", as well as speeding or driving recklessly. It may also be that he thought the women did not need medical attention. Again, the police have a duty to evaluate the scene and interview the witnesses, and then write a report and decide if charges are in order. It sounds to me more like shabby police work than anything else, assuming Suh's story doesn't add up. In my opinion this will go away and Suh will not face any charges because as has been pointed out its a he said/she said situation.
Are you serious? Suh is in a 25mph zone and he wrecks his car. All of the women in the car were injured but one had a huge gash on her forhead and was profusely bleeding and required stiches at the hospital. She told Suh to call an ambulance, he refused. Their were multiple eye witnesses since this happened downtown Portland. ALL of them said their was no taxi, that Suh was speeding, and that a woman stumbled away from the wreck and had trouble walking.When the cops got there Suh covered up his actions, the crowd intimidated the other woman to not say anything but later they all independantly told the exact same story. Suh was showing off and speeding and had a wreck and they all were injured but one lady was bleeding and asked for an ambulance and Suh refused. He lied to the cops.
It would have all been swept under the rub except that women really was injured and had to get stiches. Her insurance company wouldn't pay unless she disputed the police report, that is what happened.
Now Suh has to face the music.
The NFL had fined Suh multiple times, no effect.
They suspend him so he would take responsibility for his actions and change his ways.
Maybe now Suh will realize its HIS problem. You actually have to take responsiblity when you screw up.
No matter how you or anyone wants to try and pin it on the married woman Suh is responsible and he will have to face the music.
Go look at the picturs of her injuries
I hate to sound all "holier than thou" - but usually you're better than this.
...mostly.I always find it interesting that when things like this break most people only want to hang the most famous person involved. As if the mere fact that someone has appeared on your television screen should commit this person to being held to a higher standard than the rest of us. Suh is an idiot for showing off like a dbag then crashing his car. But it's plainly obvious that the woman was a full participant in covering up possible injuries because she didn't want her husband to find out. In fact she probably saw the cops coming and was crying about not mentioning she was there as she hobbled her skanky self home. Only after she realized she had to go to the hospital did she come clean. Fact is when crap hits the fan people's first instinct is to put the best face on the thing...especially when they think there might be legal trouble. He's stupid for risking money and his career with stuff like this....but really? Put yourself in a 20-something year-old's shoes with too much money in your pocket. I'm pretty sure a wrecked car and excessive use of your %^&*@! would be included among your stupid, mistake filled youth.
