The diversion had to go through the Miami Court system. I don't know how much influence a UT coach would have there. If they granted a diversion, they must have felt there was reason to believe he would not repeat the action in the future.

honestly, punching a police officer and punching a woman are two different things. You can't punch a woman, or even threaten to, and get away with it today. Obviously, you can punch a police officer and get away with it. But good for KG, it shouldn't ruin his whole career, now if he's learned from it, move on, be a better man, and let's play some football!!

Na, let's see the body cam. It's the officers word in the report alone. That's it. I'm not saying it's wrong, I'm just very less inclined today to buy that profession's statement or body of work. Heck, in his situation I might have taken that deal because it's a he said he said, and I'm gonna loose....so many do. But how many times did the "video" emerge later that painted a whole different story. Hmmmm. All I'm saying is I personally am less inclined to buy the official statement today, considering the source. Which at times has been proven to be pure BS.

Be VERY careful, nomads. Despite diplomatic posts like yours be mindful you could end up being accused of claiming all cops are bad and are hunters of Blacks. Despite the fact you never said that. We got some folks here that if you "almost" say something not 100% pro-cop you're an evil cop-hater. Be careful.

As for KG, like I stated a while back, if he hadn't been out at that hour and in the middle of a street, he'd have no problem. No matter how it transpired. The best way to avoid trouble is to not be around it. There'll always be folks who don't have sense enough to understand that.

Can't punch a woman? Do all cops know this? Frankly, despite the video, I don't hold it against the cop. Sadly, there are increasing numbers of defiant, trouble-hunting, spiteful, and other nasty behaving women who think they can get away with anything just because they're female. Was a time females were the better half of humanity, not pushovers, just more decent and overall had better sense than males. Today, it seems many want to exhibit how "macho" they are. Then as per the double standard handbook, call foul when things turn out differently. Let me give you an example that doesn't even involve violence. We have cases where a stay at home husband's wife decides to divorce him after finding a "pogo stick" she likes bouncing on better. The kids prefer being with dad and feel mom abuses them verbally and physically. Judge awards custody to dad, mom earns a six-figure salary but feels she shouldn't be paying child support and alimony because he's a man. We actually have had and have cases like this.

Now about hitting a woman, no, I don't think it should happen unless she has a gun or knife or another weapon capable of mortal harm. And again, I'm not so sure I'd fault the cop in this video cause I've seen arresting officers spat on, groin kicked, threatened with nail filers and whatnot. And the woman being of the opinion she can do these things without penalty simply because she's a woman.

I doubt George punched anyone. Any contact with a police offer will get you charged. As for Bryce he has never been convicted of anything. He had a he said she said with another female and agreed to stay away from her. He is charged with a misdemeanor here. Yelling at someone. Which the local paper is using to try to sell papers and undermine the football program. They do that a lot if you haven’t noticed.

Since you are in the know here, please share with us the facts that this case is being overstated. Would Bryce be well served employing a notable attorney? Are the statements made in the report untrue?

So you are saying EVERYONE who gets into a heated argument should be charged with misdemeanor assault? Not trying to belittle the situation, just this statement.

I hope the Gainesville Police Dept is forced to arrest him again in a few week due to the fact that KG whips some Gator arses on the field.

I wish I could like this more than once. It deserves it on several levels.

Honestly, I can't understand why those who think Thompson should be booted aren't all over this. Is hitting a policeman not a bigger deal than yelling in an argument and making idle threats?

Maybe the police officer was out of uniform and did hit him first. I don't know. I don't know many people who just up and pop a police officer, especially if there isn't an altercation with him directly. Maybe if he was the one being arrested. Sounds silly but ppl do silly things all the time.

That is quite a jump from what was said. Are you saying everyone who gets in.to heated arguments and makes threats to shoot up the town should be patted on the back told”good job”?

No. I'm saying they shouldn't be treated as if they went through with it or even might go through with it unless there's proof. If they checked his history and he's pulled a gun on someone... or if he'd had a history of beating women... or in this case if he didn't seem to have a history of running off at the mouth when angry.... then take it as credible.

He's going to miss games. At best he's going to be on some type of probation with UT. Based on what we know... he should get mandatory counseling and close supervision. They might also restrict his relationship with this particular girl.

Put him on a tight leash.

You still did not deal with the POINT. This thread should be blowing up since George actually hit someone. Instead, yelling and idle threats seem to be a bigger problem.

He punched a COP, he is very lucky with the sentence, most would have had a felony and some time in jail. He should never play for UT. Those that believe this is the type of man we want at UT have their own problems. If punching a cop, and fleeing arrest is not up to keeping him off the team, what would be? Shooting up the school? The Law should apply to every American equally, nothing is perfect, but to say, 'this guy got away with this, and this guy got away with that' in no way makes getting away with something right.

A statement that most murders occur between people who are arguing would lead directly to that extrapolation. I would like to see your backup evidence for the statement. I will almost give you a 99% certainty that those statements have been made with regularity as long as weapons have existed. In times past every incident wasn't given 1000 hours of intimate analysis giving the handful of dangerous people MORE reason to seek out their 15 minutes of fame. Although it is now drug out to 15 months of fame. If we stopped glorifying the violence, a lot of it would stop. The "Shooting up the town" incidents should receive minimal coverage and absolutely zero information given out about the shooter. No glory, no gain.
