Black man in Texas bar charged by cops who allegeded he assaulted them....not a big surprise. This was TOTALLY our of character for Adrian we know. Grand Jury kicked this case quickly. Message, especially after this election...watch yourself and maybe spend less time in Texas. Harsh reality.

Amen cjsmeby, AMEN! A lot of time to get 'em later but the Vikes need a continued 110% focus from AP for the rest of the season!

Happy for AP. Now time to focus on his job, which he's been doing at a record pace this year. AND, he's retained his position as a positive role model for our Viking fans. I think this turned out like we wanted, and expected.

If there was no probable cause should not someone be charged with beating on AD?

From what I know of AD, it was pretty obvious he ran into a bad cop who needed to make up a reason for what he did. I was disappointed by Kirby Puckett's behavior after he retired, so I'm especially happy to hear that AD "is who we thought he is".

AP's having a falsified arrest in a state that is trying to secede from the Union isn't too surprising. We are talking about Texas folks.....Glad AP got his name and reputation cleared....

AP is one of the few jocks that can be believed in a situation like this

I still don't understand how you can be charged with resisting arrest, without being under arrest for something in the first place. Sketchy
