If you have a jet ski, you should expect to get whistled by the cops every hour or so.

However, he was on a 30 ft party boat, which probably had some sleeping area on it, not a 20' wake boarder or 15' bass boat.

They were being overly harsh and following the letter of the law way too closely, probably because he was black.

(and who is now also dedica...: if you go to another piece that D-Wil at Sports on My Mind has written, he cites something very interesting: Texas isn't one of the states that allows for sobriety checkpoints...hope Benson's lawyer knows this.

]]> <![CDATA[More Cedric Benson Defense]]> @Signal to Noise: It reeked the second they peppersprayed someone for drinking on a boat. WTF is that?
(Yeah - it definitely reeks for the whole "extra policing" aspect as well.)

Sandra "Buullock?" Wasn't she in Speeeed?
