http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/artic...21.html?sub=new <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> O'Neal, according to sources familiar with the ongoing criminal proceedings in suburban Detroit, is being investigated for allegedly having hit a police officer during the brawl. So just because the NBA gave O'Neal 25 games doesn't mean that's all he might get for his role in the melee. </div> I am interested to hear how this will be condoned from many of you. He was on the court; he deserved it.
oh well the POPO should've been doing his job and protecting the players, not getting swung on by them LOL!!!
Grow up guys. I hate cops (for good reason) but they don't deserve to be hit by a 6'11 245 pound pro basketball player. It's that simple. It's not even a joking situation where 'they should have been doing their job.'

Another good reason to learn to have a more 'chill' attitude on the court (or anywhere in life really). You never know who or what could change the course of your life. That's why it's best to lay low and stay out of trouble. Make your playing speak to those you want to impress/intimidate.
Alright I dont have many problems with cops because my dad is in law enforcement but honestly, I bet it was an accident. Tempers were flaring and fists were flying. The Cops and Security should of been out on the floor a lot sooner and stuff like this wouldnt of happened.
This inncident just keeps getting better and better for the Pacers. JO' Neal could do jail time for this (sorry Indiana fans).

I hope everything turns out fine for O'neal and the rest of the players.

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting SupraJames:</div><div class="quote_post">By the way, what a childish comment.

He said that saying that most of the people on this board would say he deserved it because he was on the court. He is right though, I think a lot of people think that but wont admit it because they think it was cool what happened Friday night when in reality it was scary and very dangerous, this is whats wrong with people today, violence in real life turns them on when they arent involved, but when they are involved they are scared sh.tless
Is this article saying that one of the Detroit fans that came onto the court was an officer? Or is this saying that Jermaine hit an officer who was on duty at the time?

I have yet to encounter anyone online or in real life that think the brawl was cool. 140+ views and only one idiot (THE DREAM) has said anything about that police officer deserving to be punched. I fail to see the validity of this theory for "most of people on this board".

If he was trying to stop JO, or holding him custody..that is wrong...but the situation was outta hand.
