Michael Vick...and the NFL...

Well Sir...ya know...when I was a cop, part of the job was constantly gettin accused(and sued) of doin sumthin wrong, or bad....usually by some low life perp ya had recently arrested and his shyster lawyer, who was angling for some kinda deal with the DA's office, ya know..."you drop the charges against my client and we'll drop the charges against your Detective".

...and many times it usually resulted in you gettin suspended (most of the time WITHOUT pay) until the matter was cleared up, causing hardship to you and yur family. Now bear in mind...the professional standards an Officer was held to was very high...as they should be...so there was no "innocent till proven guilty"....you were guilty till proven innocent. Again...this is because we are talkin about possible Criminal and Civil liability on the part of someone sworn to uphold the Law....

But...frum what I've read regarding the huge body of evidence, statements and witnesses regardin Mr. Vick....the NFL should immediately SUSPEND Michael Vick till further notice. The NFL is big business and should aware of the image they are sending out. We aren't talkin about any legal or criminal law violations within the NFL, so...NO burden of proof is necessary regarding them.

I have seen such animal cruelty as a cop, and even "fostered" one of the dogs I saved from dog fighting, a gentle Lab/mix with a very lovable and gentle disposition who was being "meaned-up". We named her Sam and she was being terribly abused when she was just a puppy. Her owners (scum of the Earth that I took GREAT pleasure in arresting), had five other dogs that they had "meaned-up" and were using them for dog-fighting. The dogs are starved of water and food, left tied up on a 12 inch leash in 90 degree weather with no shade...and that's only the beginning.

Sam, who grew up to be 125 lbs of love, was with my wife and 4 children for 14 years before she passed. I hate to think what her fate would have been had I not received that call to investigate.....

It would make good sense, and for good PR if'n the NFL suspended him UNTIL the matter was resolved...one way or the other......God knows there is more than enough released evidence to do so.....

In criminal matters there is a "Presumption of Innocence"....there is NO such presumption of innocence in Corporate or Business matters.....

SUSPEND VICK!!!!!
