They would rather fire the cop than charge a football player.

I think he made his own bed with his troubles but I'm not sure how his actions can cause the law system to drop charges on the kid. It sounds like he did what he did. Oh well its Georgia.

Wouldn't it be nice if football people would say oh well it's Kentucky. Then we wouldn't have a player dismissed from the team and thrown out of school over a bs accusation.

Well we can gloat over winning the politically correct SEC championship.

I'm not sure what the point is that the OP is trying to make, maybe they should drop child molestation charges so they can prosecute a DUI? He had already taken his punishment from the football team, and the charges are often dropped when the arresting officer loses his reputation or the prosecution proves inept, the most glaring example recently being the NCAA not even investiagating UL after completely blowing the investigation at the U.

My point is precise. If he committed a DUI he should be prosecuted for one. I was being facetious by saying that they would rather fire a cop. Obviously, I would prefer the child molester be prosecuted too and convicted, if guilty.

Sounds like the school did its part, but our legal system dropped the ball by not giving the investigation to a partnering officer. The event still occurred. hope the young man learned a lesson. Unfortunately most adults try to defend these actions rather than make him stand up and be a man.

That's as much, or more of a problem than what the schools do. Police and prosecutors in places like Tallahassee and Athens refuse to do their jobs when athletes are involved.
