he wasn't resisting. he's just naturally elusive.

Well obviously to resist arrest you first have to commit an act to be arrested for, nothing says what he did.

Being the face of the vikings franchise and signing a 100 million dollar contract you would think he could avoid this sort of thing. As i alluded to it in another thread, the slew of arrests this offseason really needs to be addressed by goodell. It's like the bengals all over again but this time it's league wide.

If the cops come and tell everyone that its time to leave, why would he stop for water? I worked for a while as a bouncer, and itss unlikely the cops came in on their own, more than likely the club ask them to come in as there was some kind of problem. If you want some water, just stop at a gas station and get some water.

Sounds like NFL ego vs. Cop ego, not a very good mix.

MrTD will be here shortly to tell us what a black thug he is.

A source with knowledge of the situation tells PFT that the incident culminating in Peterson’s arrest was captured by one or more surveillance cameras. Multiple persons also witnessed the event.

According to the source, Peterson, his girlfriend, and some family members were at a nightclub in Houston. At closing time, a group of police officers entered the club, and they began instructing the remaining patrons to leave.

Peterson wanted to get some water before he left, but an officer told Peterson that he needed to leave. Some words apparently were exchanged, but Peterson eventually walked to the exit with one of the club’s bouncers.

It’s believed that one of the officers then jumped on Peterson’s back from behind and tried to take him down. (Key word: “tried.”) Other officers then joined the fray and completed the arrest.

Peterson was charged with resisting arrest, which implies he was being arrested for something else. He is charged for now with no other crime.

Multiple witnesses recorded portions of the incident with their phones, but it’s currently believed that the best view of the interaction between Peterson and the police will come from the surveillance camera(s) at the club.

Will turn into a non-story. Adrian Peterson by all accounts is an amazing human being and has an outstanding character. Unless something comes out out of left field, then it is more likely the police are in the wrong than Peterson is, especially if the above is proven true.

based on that info and peterson's high character it sounds like the cops were being jackasses.

[Jackofalltrades]

A defense attorney will make quick work of this case. He'll do the right thing and apologize via a statement and that'll about be the end of it.

A cop tried to tackle AD? guess he didn't know who he was messing with.

Wonder if it started with:

Cop: "Hey, watch this".

[SOJA]

Vikings fans are probably on suicide watch about right now

[nickzz]

you can't blame AD, it's his nature to break tackles.

cops are always jackasses but that doesn't mean they deserve all the blame. i'm sure AD has a pretty big ego and obviously has a mean streak in him. i read somewhere the cop told him to leave twice and peterson said "i heard you the first time" and proceeded to shove the cop.
