Jonathan Vilma Arrested - Confirmed

I didn't lose respect because of Vima getting arrested. I still liked Rickey Williams when he drove over 100mph way back when but he didn't give the cops a hard time.
I lost repect because how he got arrested and why would a guy who is deemed as being a good smart guy in the NFL do something like this. My problem is his arrogance for questioning the officers for telling him to get out of the car.

Without knowing how the officers were treating him, how do you know it was arrogance? Let's be honest, cops have about the same chance as being calm and respectful as they do being angry and disrespectful. I just think it's funny to hear several people say they lost respect for Vilma when they don't know exactly what happened, only vague details. What if it comes out that the officer was in the wrong as far as the arrest is concerned? Would you regain your respect for Vilma? Or is the act of daring to question a cop, no matter what they do, ground for immediate lost of respect? Let it be made clear I do not think the cop has done anything wrong, but this black-and-white perspective just seems out of whack. Is it smart to question a cop? No. But do a lot of them DESERVE to be questioned? You betcha.
