It's almost nothing short of a miracle that NFL teams and police departments don't have shootouts at the ok corral every few months.  
Isn't it a bit like walking into a biker bar of old and asking everyone to play nice, knit stockings for the kiddies and sing Kumbya every night after getting drunk and strung out on crank ?

You have some information that the police who arrested Pacman have been brought up on charges in the past?

All of you people who hate on Pac because he is not PC enough just don't get it. Adam does not play the media's games.  All he cares about is making the Bengals great again.

I am starting to get where you are coming from with this.

Pac Man actually has reached a higher state of consciousness where his Heart is his voice.
The fans, Media, Pac Man, Mike and Marvin need to all retreat to their respective Safe Spaces to let things cool down.
Pac Man could then draw everyone from those Safe Spaces by distributing Red Hats that have the Slogan "Make the Bengals Great Again" on them.
Any signs of riots beginning to break out could then be quelled with an App of Pac Man cussing telling everyone to immediately return to their "F - ing" Safe Spaces until things calm the "F" back down.

That's only all of 2:40 into the video or so, and he did yell quite a few times already. You're excusing a grown ass man from behaving like a criminal over and over and over.

At least Pac was being honest.  The cops, on the other hand, lied and filed false charges against Adam.  Where is your outrage over lying police?  Shouldn't you be more concerned more about that then just some words. 

This is America where we have freedom of speech. (unless you curse at a cop then you get false charges against you)  Matbe people would be more respectful to police if they did not abuse their power.

I... i'm going to start coding that app now. I love it!  First sign of a riot in your area a big bobbly PacMan head warbles around the screen overlaying flashing police lights and starts shouting "Return to your f***ing safe space until things calm the f*** back down, *****."

If you're just coming off the situation Adam put himself in recently, why in the hell would you do anything to make yourself look even worse? No one is forcing Adam to repeatedly act like an ass...he continues to purposely make that decision himself.

Yeah, we all know reporters try to bait people.

Adam just keeps being stupid. I wasn't for cutting him until i saw the whole story but this lack of accountability
around here is our biggest problem. This comes from the top down and will only continue to spread until this
guy, Marv, PA etc are held accountable for all this stupidity.

Yes, but the overwhelming majority manage to act like they have some sense.  If half the guys in the NFL were maniacs off the field, you might have a point.  But it's nothing like that at all.  So, if the many refrain, it means the few are idiots.

Mike's worried about Ten Chances' kids.  Too bad Ten Chances isn't.

I think pac man has just reached the point of being an organizational failure. He doesn't get it. Never gonna get it. Cue up salt n pepa song here. He could have easily answered the question. Could have politely said no comment. That's just too much for his dumbass to handle.

No accountability here. That comes from the top. The bengals are just run.....differently.

This is BS unless you are one of the people who often have the police at your door.

This is some interesting stuff. Pac Man is flying off the handle because someone asked him about one of the times he flew off the handle. I can't wait to see him fly off the handle when someone asks him about the time he flew off the handle at the reporter who asked him about that time he flew off the handle.

And so on and so forth.

Did you watch the video of the reporting asking him the question and his reaction? I posted it at the bottom of last page.

I wouldn't say his reaction was even close to flying off the handle.

Hmm, I'll admit he wasn't as over the top as I assumed he was.  I'm pretty disappointed now.

This is not true at all. Sure people love to talk about the Bengals playoff futility, but they're hardly a laughing stock.

And the Reds are a small market team in the middle of a rebuild. Again, not a laughing stock.

It's not about charges with him any more.  It's about piling on further evidence about what the man is made of when no more evidence was needed.

Don;t know whta you are trying to say.

But in this case the police lied and filed false charges against Adam.  Are you okay with that?  Is it okay for the police to lie about a guy as long as you do not like him?

Disappointed? In Jones? Journalism in general? A little of both?

See, that's my problem with where journalism is today. There isn't complete coverage. Just enough to get people riled up. I try to stay calm until I (on my own) research things that I deem important.

The video wasn't really bad at all and journalists went all TMZ and made a huge, sensational deal out of it. I'm disappointed in journalism in general at this point. To Fred's point about the police, again, if you read the DA's statement about it I feel like all gloves were off when the police officer arrested him for something nobody else would have been arrested for. Jones got furious and went off. Two wrongs don't make a right, but him being publicly embarrassed out of it is punishment enough, IMO. I wouldn't have acted that way, but I'm not him, either. Everyone is different.

Who's better Pacman or #55 ?

It is quite obvious that you have an anti police bias.  I try to see things both ways, and am certainly aware that there are some bad cops out there (just like every other profession).  You keep saying that they lied and filed false charges against him... what are you referring to?  Just because the DA chose not to pursue the felony count does not mean he didn't spit on the nurse and should not have been charged with doing so.

The prosecutor, Deteres', account of the nurse spitting thing left it open to being dubious in nature.

Here is a video of the spitting incident and what I would imagine what they were calling the "headbut". Frankly, Jones spun around when the officer took his wallet and was clearly agitated. For doing this, they strapped him into a chair. 

The spitting happens around 6:50 in. If you watch it, it looks EXACTLY how Deters described it, which was Jones spit out his chewing tobacco and some got on the nurses hand and the officers went ape shit. He didn't spit in her face or anything.
