Another Butt Slap - Odell Beckham Facing Jail Time for Slapping Butt Of Police Officer

Beckham and most of his fellow players have a God complex. They legitimately think they can do whatever they want in this world. I suspect he’ll get leniency for this. Rest assured, if it were anybody of lesser status, that would not be the case. Thus, these guys are continually encouraged to behave this way because the consequences are so light.

I think OBJ is a jackass, but the person with the God complex in this situation was obviously the police officer. Running into the locker room, getting in players faces, and threatening them with arrest for smoking a cigar? He deserved to be decked for that. Instead, he got his ass lightly tapped and now he's pressing charges. What a pathetic loser.

The first sentence is true.

The rest is bogus. If it weren't a very high profile person like him, but rather it was just some random, excited LSU student, then absolutely nothing would happen in response. The unknown kid would have just disappeared in the celebrating crowd and nobody would ever hear anything about it.

Seriously, why was that cop in the locker room in the first place?

Sad. David and Victoria's other kids seemed to turn out so well. I wish Odell would be more like Romeo and Brooklyn.

I am the son of a cop, my grandfather, 2 uncles and one aunt were/are cops. I have spent a lot of time with cops and tbh a lot of them are the ones with the God complex. There a lot of great people in law enforcement who are great and cool and would have laughed this off and be telling their friends about the time OBJ slapped their ass at the national championship for the rest of their life.

Then their are a-holes like this guy who like wielding their power and think they are infallible because they went to the police academy. Often they are just unhappy pricks many of whom are racist, sexist, homophobic, or just generally intolerant that get off on being needless jerks all in the name of law and order but really just so they can have their ego fed and they can brag about it with their friends the next time they are drunk.

If this has to be a legal thing, at least write a new law calling it "slapass" instead of sexual assault or even assault/battery. This isn't rape or an attempt to cause physical harm.

Charge him with 1st degree slapass.

Beckham handing out cash was stupid. And although not a crime he put LSU in a very akward position. He has to be the center of attention. The way he handed out cash in an intentionally visible way was clearly an attention call and instead of everyone talking about the amazing performance by LSU football everyone is talking about OBJ and the money.

As for the cop butt slap. Very stupid but ridiculous to treat this as a crime. Can we inject some sanity into this. A male getting slapped in the butt in the celebration area or locker room after a team wins the NCAA title is not an assault or battery. Just deal with it and move on.

Got to agree with Wigs for a change.

No he will not get off Scott free. The officer filed charges. He should get $$ and teach that punk a lesson. This is the difference between the NFL/NBA and MLB/NHL

NFL/NBA let's their players be tattooed punks. The NHL is primarily Canadiens, and look at how well they act in public and are good role models. They fight on the ice and behave off it. And, many of them are great golfers, and all around athletes.

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that you see another difference between those leagues that is your real problem....

How is this so hard to understand.

Don't. Touch. People. Without. Their. Consent.

You may continue to touch your friends, family, teammates (with their consent)

lol all of the pro sports leagues (which basically includes the NCAA) are full of these self-absorbed d-bags

Why was the cop even in there?

the cop was there because the athletes were smoking cigars in the locker room. A heinous crime that would upset the delicate balance of the world as we know it.

Never touch an on-duty police officer without permission. OB knows this. No excuse. #LockHimUp

This shows the double standards and misogyny in the US of A, especially with cops.

Some slob slapped a woman reporter's butt, and she got severely criticized for complaining.

Someone slapped a male cop's butt and the slapper might go to prison for 15 years.

I agree that there is plenty of misogyny and double standards in the USA, but your post is just plain wrong and misleading.

Yes, the lady who got her butt slapped was criticized by some for complaining, but then again, this is a country of 330 million people, and that makes for a lot of opinions. She also had plenty of people who supported her.

I don't think there is any scenario in which OBJ will go to prison for 15 years for slapping a cop's butt. Where did you come up with that?

Look at the video. The expression on his face shows that he knew he screwed up.

Lesson: Never, ever touch a cop.

The cop in this case was a stadium security guard who was told to stop the players from smoking. He was doing his job. He wasn't being a jerk until he got ass slapped from some jerk off who had no reason to be in the locker room after the game.

NOLA cops are V E R Y tolerant. You just have to not be a jerk to them when they give you an order.

Number One - Don't touch a man who carries a gun.
