If drunk yes, the charges are lessor. However, in today climate I'm not even moving without the police's permission. With all the people being shot, this kid running was incredibly stupid and he's lucky this cop wasn't afraid and trigger happy.

That was my first thought. No clue if he was drinking or not but running from a cop can get you killed. There is enough out there to know how dangerous running from a cop is, especially if you're black. That being said I did plenty of worse stuff than he did at that age, kids do dumb s***.
 
Sober or under the influence of anything aside, he is fortunate nothing irreversible happened. He could have hurt or killed himself, teammates, fellow students or bystanders of any sort. If he is a smart kid he will realize this, learn from it & not repeat it. I have been guilty of similar stupidity and was fortunate nothing of great consequence happened and I was able to move on with my life but I have friends who weren't as fortunate.
 
His drives are out of control and yet, the only way to improve his handle is to see court time.

James was wrong but UConn police in some cases don’t have the training or experience to arrest kids from the hood without escalating the situation. Chief has spent time teaching his kids how to react and keep their mouth shout unless asked something and not appear as a physical threat and facing not running from the situation.

that's a yikes from me dog
 
KId got scared panicked because he was probably drunk and driving without a license and ran. Probably better than getting a DUI in my opinion. Hurley will dish out a reasonable penalty. Who knows what that might be, honestly, i can see a 2 game suspension and I can see a 4 game suspension.

Lol, I'm not from Granby. It's also creepy that you bothered to look at that. My dad made this account but doesn't use it anymore. He lived there for some time. I live in Glastonbury, so your point probably still stands.

The fact that you think cops need training on how to "deal with kids from the hood" is just RIDICULOUS Chief. It's clearly racially motivated and devoid of reality. I "deal with kids from the hood" every day on my basketball team and in my classroom. Cops need training on how to deal with KIDS, period.

Black kids don't have a worse attitude than white kids. All kids have a bad attitude, with cops, teachers, anyone. It's what they do, and the bad attitude is economic more than it is about race.

Maybe they need a team curfew from now on.

Also I wonder whose vehicle it was, aren't freshmen not allowed vehicles on campus?
Expand ...

Players will often drive the team managers’ vehicles. Obviously I don’t know to whom this vehicle belonged but there’s a chance it was a manager’s.

Stop. There is a zero tolerance law for those under 21. A former UConn football player recently wrote about it.

Think about it. "[College Campus] police in some cases don’t have the training or experience to arrest kids from the hood... (Don't even get me started on that)," but they can pick up on the slightest indication of when drugs or alcohol are at play.

After a month long investigation, I would think they'd have charged him with something alcohol/drug related. My point is that there is no reason to speculate on unsubstantiated charges after they've been filed.

Lol how can you charge someone with a DUI if they run and you can't test their BAC? You can't.

Doesn't anyone at UConn sit these kids down and read them the riot act --BEFORE-- they do anything stupid?

Ths happens habitiually at UConn, so obviously their orientation to campus life has a huge hole in it somewhere. Figure it freaking out.

You seem to give the police a clear benefit of the doubt that they are always on the up and up. I hardly ever.

In some cases, suspicion is enough. I'm referring to those where someone fails to submit. Fleeing could certainly be considered failure to submit to someone with a loose interpretation. If the police are prone to throw the book at someone who flees, it wouldn't surprise me if this would be a no-brainer charge. Even if it were thrown out in court, wouldn't it be a bargaining chip for the prosecution. The fact that, after a nearly 4 week investigation, it is not? I don't know, but to me it speak volumes.

Why is it that UCONN seems like the only school who hangs their players out to dry.

And other school this would be swept under the rug and handled internally.!!!!

Same with the scooter incident
Expand ...

If only we paid our security officers more, and gave them more generous health and pension benefits.
 
Was a friend's car. Would've gotten in more trouble if he didn't run. Jalen got 1 game suspension for crashing a scooter. This is worse. I predict three games.
 
In situations like this does the university typically do an internal investigation? Interview people he was with to see if he had been drinking? Or will they just let the legal process play out on its own?
