I hate this for the young man who came to Cincinnati and shed a checkered past and grew into a professional. I really don't think the charges match because we'd have known weeks ago "If" charges were warranted. Its the powers that be that try to tarnish reputations. Now I will say that this coming out now sort of makes it easier for a team to cut ties and move away before drafting a replacement in 20+ days... I'm just saying lets give Mix his due process plz before jumping to anymore conclusions outside the court of law.

As I follow the story the investigating officer was quick to charge by using the standard "proof". But apparently, the officer didn't follow the proper supervisor notification protocol reserved for "high-profile individuals" (kiinda points to JM reportedly saying "The cops can't do anything to me"), so the police dropped the initial charges. It now appears the "proper people" have reviewed the evidence and decided charges are warranted. 

Of course, we must give JM his due process but if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, I'm gonna assume it's a duck. When the home shooting charges were filed I quickly asserted there was nothing there to "blame" JM, but the road rage incident was different. The home shooting was violence against a male and that's not Joe's M.O.
