WTH's going on on Bald Head Island?

One common denominator in all this is people flailing and acting erratic.  Do the cops have the right to do what they did?  No.  Did you get what was coming to you by acting an ass?  Yes.  

Pro Tip:  Comply now, sue later.

it seems far more likely the cop is lying to protect himself than these people lying for some other reason to me. But I would be pissed if some vacation spot cop decided to make an example of me on my vacation too.

I GUARANTEE they are lying.  100%

Oh, pardon me if I have little pity that their $1,000 a day vacation was interrupted because she was being irresponsible, hysterical, and drunk.

"Dude... dude... dude... dude..."

Were the cops likely too aggressive? Yes, because the sky is usually blue... but I am pretty sure neither side is being 100% truthful here...

I saw all this to do, but wasn't this incident like 2 years ago?

 

Bronn is right...  the cops were probably over aggressive (surprise) and the family was probably not coming clean on their behavior either, but who knows...?

 

Literally the first thing like this I've ever heard of on Bald Head.

North Carolina’s Cape Fear Coast is one of my favorite places in the country. The sand dunes, Spanish moss and the smell of saltwater in the air are just a few of the things I miss when I’m not there vacationing with my family.

A few years ago, I learned of a modern-day mystery — the disturbing events surrounding the death of Bald Head Island Police Officer Davina “Dee” Buff Jones. It left me questioning whether I wanted to return.

2 quick thoughts,

1, Nice that the video starts right as they started to arrest her, not showing anything that happened before hand. considering how much she's screaming and resisting the officers I'm more then willing to side with the officers that she was drinking/intoxicated. if she was sober and explained herself peacefully she's getting a warning or a citation, not getting arrested. believe it or not but even police officers working a kush resort jobs have better things to do than arresting Soccer moms.

2, If she was intoxicated and let her child drive(doesnt have to be above .08), it's considered reckless child endangerment. And could also be interpreted as child abuse, they were well within their rights to arrest her, also the police cannot always know how far she was driving, they can only account for what they observe, so if they see drunk mom letting her kid drive her home, they have to assume that is what is going on.

PDs better cut this crap out or they are going to be a goldmine for lawsuits. The day has passed when they could abuse power without impunity. 

not disagreeing with that

but we also now live in a world where people have little respect for authority and think virtually nothing applies to them and that they should be able to get out of anything.  Based on the video alone, I would be willing to bet the woman was far from innocent in her initial act and more important how she reacted to the officers.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
