Ripping bodies from the pile isn't being aggressive? He may have been "coming to the rescue" but he got violent doing so. The road to hell is paved with what?... Good intentions. Six-game suspension!

If this is the same video I saw, the video begins after the man assaulted is already on the ground and does not show the beginning of the melee.

Wait, what, you mean the media's initial Narrative of what happened turns out to be false, shocked I tell you, shocked!

Wasn't the initial narrative based on court filings? Not sure how they're to blame on this one. Someone filed a criminal complaint and they reported on it.

I noticed that as well. If there was video of what happened after the guy was down, there would seem to be video of what happened to him before he was down. Unless his body was dragged from another location off-camera, the whole story is not being shown by the video that was released.

All this video shows is there is reason for this to go to a court proceeding. The only conclusive evidence there is here is violence was enacted upon a man on the ground. There is no evidence that AD was guilty or not guilty of something.

Is this a joke....What was Crawford’s suspension? And violence isn’t all bad, sports are violent, If Donald tackled a kid about to be hit by a bus, are we asking for a suspension because the tackle was violent.

It’s not good for the plaintiff though. He was drunk, threw a bottle, it look like several people not named Donald got licks in, and Donald is seen to come to his rescue. Given all those hits, you’ve essentially got to prove Donald ordered the “code red” though admittedly only on the balance of probabilities.

from the little I've seen he seems like a down to earth guy, but ban him for 149 games for being involved in a confrontation, can't have that in the nfl.

I was willing to offer the rams a 4th but now I see a 5th being accepted
