Who wants to bet the gun charges get dropped in plea bargin???

Probably within a day or two of a news release from the same office announcing the need to reduce gun violence?

From the OP, I think it's aged pretty well.

This is about to go full political. Andre Carson made this out to be racial (just saw on Fox59), this is going to devolve into a ****-show.

Heard about this on WIBC this PM. Guy is one of Officer Mercer's attorneys.

IMPD officer De’Joure Mercer filed the complaint Monday in federal Southern District of Indiana Court. It targets website posts and video produced by the NFL that highlight Reed and other figures in a campaign intended to “honor victims of systemic racism, victims of police misconduct, and social justice heroes.”

You beat me to this...

Shame on the nfl for using this turd as some sort of a hero/martyr, just like the career criminal george floyd. My favorite line from this whole carnival side-show was; "looks like it`ll be a closed casket homey".

I hope this officer hits the Power Ball Lotto here.

How did that jackwagon spin it as racial? Its black on black litigation! (see what I did there?)

BTW did he manage to slip his prior LEO creds into the interview? LOL

I like this new trend; thug does thug things and ends up getting shot by cops. govt settles with the shooter/estate. Victims turn around and sue the shooter/estate and take the money they never deserved in the first place. In the end, the REAL victims get the compensation they actually deserve.

This is awesome.

Update: (no reply from the NFL, this is my shocked face.)

Mercer’s attorney, Guy A. Relford, released the following statement:

De’Joure Mercer is a hero. He tracked down a very dangerous criminal wanted by the police, who was a threat to the citizens of Indianapolis. He put his life on the line and was nearly killed in that effort. He was completely exonerated after an exhaustive investigation into the death of Mr. Reed. For NFL Enterprises then to suggest he was involved in police or racist misconduct is totally false, defamatory and unacceptable. What happened here has nothing to do with racism.
While we support NFL Enterprises’ efforts to address social justice issues, Officer Mercer is taking a stand for the many, many good cops on duty across America. He is standing up for his friends and colleagues and sending a message that before you accuse a decorated police officer of misconduct in a national campaign, you had better get your facts straight.

Guy Relford is a national treasure.

 

[HoughMade]

I just read the Complaint. I will be very interested in how this turns out.

The NFL has some problems with this. If they had just said that Reed was a victim of "systemic racism", I think there would be no cause of action. However, in several instances, using the term "police misconduct" is a problem for them.

Just saw this story hit my favorite location for journalism.

Are the NFL’s Social Justice Ads Smearing a Good Cop?

On his worst day as a cop, De’Joure Mercer did everything right. And then, he says, the National Football League tried to make him a villain.

A multi-billion dollar enterprise like the NFL will probably settle to make this go away. Interesting, either way.
