Alchohol wasn't invovled is why ESPN hasn't mentioned it yet.

Here is a scenario. Vilma is driving through South Beach. If you've ever driven there, you'll know that it's impossible to drive there and NOT almost hit anyone. He probably got frustrated with the traffic and tried to get out of it. Cops pull him over.

I have a feeling the whole thing is exaggerated, but let's wait to see what comes out. At any rate, as you see above, there was no alcohol involved, no guns, no women with bruises. At this point, it's a traffic violation.

I agree. I also doubt he was weaving in and out of traffic - probably made an illegal lane change and got an officer in a bad mood.

damn the man, FREE VILMA!!!!!!

yeah, use the OJ & Vick defense - it's someone else fault. that will get you a lot of mileage.

The Cowboys weren't invovled is why ESPN hasn't mentioned it yet.

Fixed

Dude, you must have it in for him. I sure hope you never end up in a similar situation.

Ummm....yes. Again, yes. We live on the verge of a complete lock down police state, where armed officers roam the streets not to protect and serve, but to keep the sheeple in line, and to make money for the state. They are a source of revenue, not protection or investigation. They only clean house and hire new investigators when the mayor gets embarrassed because SO MANY crimes go unsolved it gets ridiculous and he/she fears for her job. As long as they are making money for the state, constitutional rights, benefit of doubt, and common sense go out the window. "By the book" just means the officers are too stupid to make the call and they are required to take your money EVERY TIME. Anyone who has been to jail for something stupid knows that you are GUILTY until proven innocent. Yes, I blame the police. They treat people like subhumans, like animals, like Arabs or something. The military/police line is very thin right now, and just you wait when "those boys" come home from overseas and are looking for jobs....Oh God help us....

i really hope your joking

There was an Australian footballer arrested in Miami for belting and kicking police officers (I think you'd call that resisting arrest) after smashing a glass in his girlfriend's face and he was given a slap on the wrist.

 

[AlexV]

This is just great.

 

[authentic]

so let me get this rigth .... j.v. is driving recklessly through traffic, almost hits two people and the police are overzealous.....

are you beginning to see a trend concerning people in every thread you post in telling you just how wrong and absurd your views are? just wondering.

 

[saintmdterps]

He looks ******. And from the article posted by muzzy, he looks like he's challenging the arresting officer on the charges.

I've never seen anyone look overjoyed in a mug shot. I'd be ****** too!!

 

[robsmith32]

ok. can't believe all this time, and noone mentioned the fact that a miami police officer arrested our TOP Defensive player, in miami.. He's obviously a dolphins fan, and realize us as a big threat since we have to play them this season, and have a real DC for a change.


on another note, the last few times i' was pulled over. I was told to STAY IN THE CAR, when first open the door, as they reached for their gun.
officer should state the reason for being stopped.

i'm sure i've ran a few lights, and "almost" hit people more than a few times.. thankfully, never been arrested for it, or even stopped for it.

oh, and saint jeremy.. it isn't called HOT Lanta for not being a known hotspot.. Look at all the songs that have tribute to atlanta,

hopefully, all gets straightened out, and off everyone's minds come august.

Well if this article is correct, I would also be reluctant to get out of my car if stopped by someone in plain clothes and an unmarked car.

heck, there was a time about 16 years ago in Alexandria, the police put out a PSA on the radio, because of the "impersonator cops" pulling people over and assaulting/robbing people. for people to just slow down and drive to a nearby police station. if they did this, there wouldnt' be any issue.

And why do they work for slave wages? Because they can't get a better job than that. I didn't say every actor, but the majority of them follow their dream because they can't do anything else. How is what I described a freeloader? A freeloader is someone who gets by on what others do. What I described is a group of people who choose a profession that they may or may not have passion or talent for, but they do it because all other viable options were gone. Why do you think so many actors are either dropouts or high school grads? Because they couldn't get into college. Obviously that's not EVERY case, but that is a vast majority. Why would a smart, levelheaded person go out to Hollywood to maybe someday have a possible chance at hopefully getting an acting job and live off very little money when they could go to college and get a well-paying job? Sure there are those who have a passion for it, but it's no different than a pro athlete. Most of us have passion for acting or sports because it's fun and easier than a real job. Put it this way, you don't see too many A- and B-students drop out of college to become actors. But you DO see a bunch of high school grads going out to become stars. If you're offended, sorry but it's the truth.

BTW, I don't have a problem with actors and I would've loved to drop out and follow that same dream, but I was smart enough to realize it's a one-in-a-million chance and it wasn't worth it if I didn't make it because I could go to college and do something else I loved. Most actors and athletes love ONLY that (acting or athletics) and can't do anything else.

Krazy 9000 said it best - you have NO clue what you are talking about.

Your BIGGEST mistake here is making the assumption that the vast "majority of actors are dropouts or high school grads". That is absolute BS. Show me your proof. I happen to be both an actor and a teacher of acting in high school. I've actually DONE the research (since it applys to BOTH of my jobs - wow. Look at that, I can do something else!). Have you actually done the research or are you doing what you are accusing everyone else of doing in this thread - assumption?

Your second mistake is thinking the love of having money is the most important thing to an individual today (your "why would anyone...live off very little money" argument). Again, BS. The majority of actors (the actual term actor - which is where your assumption first takes the fall, but I'll address that later) do what they do for the love of their craft. Yes, I said craft - it is a skill. You think you can do it? Try it. I'll hook you up with the theatre community in New Orleans or where ever you happen to live (see, we have a community, a Union, we network - we even have lobbyists. Go figure) to arrange your chance. It isn't something that anyone can do. Those that do it, those that call themselves "actor" HAVE passion. They don't CARE about the money as much as the creation of art. Let me guess: to you a painter is just someone who couldn't do anything else so they smear paint onto a canvas and try to sell it all the while living off their friends and family. You seriously have no clue.

And before I end this (and I mean end it, because you won't hear another word on this from me again - I can spot an ignorant, stubborn, unchangeable mind a mile away and I don't waste my time or energy talking art and the philosophy of art with the knuckle dragging portion of the population), you need to understand the definition of an actor. An actor is someone who gets paid for DOING the art of acting. A kid who drops out of high school and runs off to Hollywood or New York to be discovered is an idiot and usually survives through the kindness of friends, family, etc. - hence, a freeloader.

Maybe this is very difficult for you to understand, but sometimes people do things for reasons other than getting a bunch of money. I actually get more out of the process of creation than I have ever gotten out of buying myself something really nice or looking at the size of my bank account. If you aren't very creative, then I see why you think the way you do.

And by the way... do you know what a fallacy is? This is what your "actor= someone who can't do anything else" logic is based upon. While many people who are lazy or can't do anything else do choose to move out to hollywood in an attempt to become famous, it is not true that many actors are this way.... at least not actual actors who work, as opposed the clueless wannabes that I think you might be referring to. But I wouldn't call those people "actors" anymore than I would call you a writer. By the way, it is logic fallacies like yours (and the ones you have been campaigning against in this thread) that spur the backward thinking of racism and other discriminatory philosophies. Be careful, dude.
