Joey Porter arrested in California

Maybe it's just because I fall under one of these groups, but I've always felt like cops, lawyers, and the media get painted with the broadest brush. As with any other profession, there are good cops and bad cops. Cops put their lives on the line nearly everyday, and yeah it'd be great if they were all good people. But that's not the way the world works unfortunately.

And really, why didn't Porter just show his license when asked? Why try to create a further scene

Agreed about cops and unfortunately the focus is always on the negative. When you hear the rare good story people say meh, he's doing his job. As soon as they screw up though everyone is up in arms.

Porter should have just kept his mouth shut and went along with the program. Nothing good ever comes from mouthing off or slapping the wrist of a cop. Extremely dumb move on his part.
