Welcome to the legal system. A cop's word is pretty much concrete evidence unless proven otherwise.
It's not that getting pulled over and "resisting arrest" are even a big deal. It's the people who are making excuses for it that's so sickening.
He got pulled over. He resisted arrest. He made a mistake, and now he'll pay for it. We all make mistakes, and sometimes we pay for them. This reflects absolutely nothing about the character of Vilma or his worth to the team, but he doesn't get a free pass just for being a Saint either.
