- ClarkNoHeart, on 11/20/2008, -3/+31Police Officer: License and reg... hey, aren't you the guy who found out he's part black?
Peter Griffin: Yes I am.
Police Officer: [into walkie-talkie] Report of a possible stolen vehicle.
Peter Griffin: But this is my car.
Police Officer: Suspect becoming belligerent.
Peter Griffin: Wha...
Police Officer: Officer down. - dblatti, on 11/20/2008, -3/+22"Black guy beaten by police" - not news
"Black guy related to NFL player beaten by police" - news
I get it now. - DickyT83, on 11/20/2008, -4/+18How ironic, Driver arrested for outstanding traffic warrants.
- 01010110, on 11/20/2008, -6/+14Everything is bigger in Texas, even the douchebags.

░░░░░░░░▀▀▀▀▀░░░░░░░░░░░░ - GUTTS, on 11/20/2008, -3/+9Seriously, I respect the police and what they SHOULD stand for and their duty to keep us from killing each other. But this is *****. I think the whole organization needs a ***** reboot.
- inactive, on 11/20/2008, -0/+6As a Packers fan, and an American this deeply upsets me. You all seem to be joking on here right now, but realize how old Donald Driver's dad is, 56. That's ridiculous, nobody that old could possibly do anything to aggravate a beat down. How sick are these cops?
- bossm4n, on 11/20/2008, -1/+6The Drivers would have more credibility if Quannel X were not involved. Supposedly a "Civil Activist", it was recently uncovered in court documents the guy has been paid to hold protests in the past. That makes him public relations person, not an activist.
- Yazilliclick, on 11/20/2008, -3/+8Yes obviously this must all be true so we should all react that way and condemn the police...
Gotta love journalism that basically just recounts the exact story that only one side gives and essentially nothing else. - Fatcheeseguy, on 11/20/2008, -5/+9Police officers have small penises and have power trips about it.
"One of the central aims of the BPP was to stop abuse by local police departments."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Panther_Party
Though the violence isn't all that necessary, this issue still needs attention. - dse78759, on 11/20/2008, -0/+3There's more to this story . It says Driver knew the officer who beat him, so there's definitely a history. I look forward to details...
- inactive, on 11/20/2008, -1/+4***** Fascist cops
- inactive, on 11/20/2008, -0/+3This does happen to black peopel far more than white people, to the poor far more than the moneyed.
It's just a shame he needs to have a well known relative to get any press. - LuckySephid, on 11/20/2008, -6/+9Pile Driver... no seriously thats ***** up
- doublefelix, on 11/20/2008, -6/+9Even more ironic, Jesus was no where to be seen. Cops and Jesus; never there when you need them.
- malcdizzle, on 11/20/2008, -0/+3Welcome to the United Police States.
- Headinawheel, on 11/20/2008, -0/+2Or, it's a euphemism for "furniture moving".
- Barackalypse, on 11/20/2008, -1/+3I don't know which moral to take away from this story:
Don't violate traffic laws
Don't ignore violations which then become warrants
Don't argue with officers (seriously, there really isn't anything to be gained escalating with the police because anything you say can be used against you and you might just piss them off and get beaten). That said, it sucks when authority runs amok and unjustly hurts the people, even if the people were lawbreakers lacking common sense. - willypilgrim, on 11/20/2008, -0/+2black guy beaten by police making the news - good
black guy beaten and not making the news - bad
i swear to god, even in instances where something positive could happen, you people all just find reasons to bitch. be angry about the situation, not about the fact that he's, by coincidence, related to a pro ball player, so maybe something will actually happen. then maybe the cops of the houston pd will think harder before acting on their ***** next time, wouldn't that be a good thing regardless if a pro football player was involved in making that happen? oh my god, how terrible it would be. - willypilgrim, on 11/20/2008, -0/+2Driver isn't good? He's consitently ranked high in yards after the catch, and has at least 80 catches and over a thousand yards each of the last four years.
- ssaxusggid, on 11/20/2008, -0/+2Unnecessary roughness.
- GatorUSMC, on 11/20/2008, -0/+1Hard to tell who has a case since we've only heard one side of the story and that came from someone who didn't witness anything.
- digitalunltd, on 11/20/2008, -3/+4well I sure am glad racism is over.../s
Can we just polygraph these ***** idiots before giving them a badge.
"Are you a scum bag racist"
"no"
"BEEEEEEEEEEEP"
"Okay, so I am" - b1ll30, on 11/20/2008, -0/+1I see many of you folks joking, but the fact is that Donald Driver happens to be one of the classiest acts in the NFL. Always with a smile, always positive, shows up every week to compete as a team player. I personally have a ton of respect for the man, and my heart goes out to him and my family. I sincerely hope they hold the people who did this accountable, and that his dad is okay.
- Midtowner, on 11/20/2008, -0/+1Actually, Quanell X isn't exactly well known for his honesty. It wouldn't shock me if the P.D. is in the wrong here, but I never buy what X is selling. The man's agenda doesn't place huge value on truth.
- zigardne, on 11/20/2008, -0/+1they do get polygraphs
- KnutTheBear, on 11/20/2008, -0/+1Yeah the only good one! Besides Driver...and James Jones...Oh, and that Nelson kid looks pretty good.
- DickyT83, on 11/20/2008, -2/+3Ah fiction, you gotta love it.
- xerodustrial, on 11/20/2008, -0/+1Ditto. Every native to the city knows Quannel X is a clown, and will do nothing but hurt the story and the family -- oh, and get rich off them.
That said, if the rest of the story is even half true, there should be a serious investigation by HPD, potentially with jobs lost and charges filed by the District Attorney following an IA investigation. But there won't be.
The criminal justice system in this city is worthless from top to bottom, and has been for some time. - billyfalconer, on 11/20/2008, -0/+1The Houston police dept has a long history of this kind of stuff. They've been responsible for more than one body found floating in the bayous there.
- hooah212002, on 11/21/2008, -0/+1Oh, right, traffic violations warrant a beating to the death. i forgot.
- hooah212002, on 11/21/2008, -0/+1I'm a Bears fan and even I respect Driver as a reciever. he is one of theif not THE most underrated reciever in the NFL. consistantly catches damn near any ball thrown his way, over the middle or otherwise.
- LuvThyNeighbor, on 11/21/2008, -1/+1Your going to meet JEEBUS... who would of known. Cowards afraid to act alone, mention their mystical leader yet again, in the name of Jeebus... repent
- rdmty, on 11/20/2008, -5/+4cops are all *****
***** the police - GatorUSMC, on 11/20/2008, -3/+2"Relatives at first alleged..."
blah, blah, blah.
Repost the story once Mr. X gets a lawyer and they concot a damning story the entire clan can stick to. - malcdizzle, on 11/20/2008, -0/+0there job is to take the suspect into custody, not to be Judge, jury and executioner, and carry out sentencing. We are Change and no one else
- willypilgrim, on 11/20/2008, -5/+4shut up, retard, it's police brutality in texas against a black man, do you really think the cops have a case? get a grip and spare us your reactionary "boo hoo liberal media" *****.
- 955701, on 11/20/2008, -1/+1Remember Michael Jordan's father? I think you are on to something. I'm sure he wasn't the first black man killed in the Carolina's.
- brjohnson789, on 11/20/2008, -2/+1I wonder if this means Jennings will get more catches this week.
- positron, on 11/20/2008, -2/+2I'd prefer Jesus in this instance. At least he's not there when you don't need him either.
- Ch33t0, on 11/20/2008, -1/+1White guy beaten by black guy - not news
Black guy beaten by white guy - news - adiggityam, on 11/20/2008, -2/+1I hope the child comes out okay.
- CyberStriker, on 11/20/2008, -0/+0Pool's closed!
- golddeath, on 11/20/2008, -2/+1Maybe Donald Driver won't play Monday against the Saints! More catches for the only good WR on the team..Greg Jennings
- Krissam, on 11/20/2008, -4/+3considdering the fact that he was born around the year 0, I'd say it's pretty impressive if he were still alive.
- beachblonde, on 11/20/2008, -2/+1That's what she...wait
- Barackalypse, on 11/20/2008, -3/+1One of the officers was Hispanic, broadly generalizing, Blacks and Hispanics have some animosity between them.
- 955701, on 11/20/2008, -5/+2I know how I would respond if anyone did this to my dad. I can't imagine what a football player would do. And I sincerely hope he does. Doesn't have to be now... maybe 10 years down the line, after everyone has all but forgotten about it...
- scottja35, on 11/20/2008, -4/+1Just another black guy trying to frame the police for beating the ***** out of him, right? It'd be more believable if he carved a backwards 'B' into his face.
