Benson cried out for mother
According to Cedric Benson, police pepper-sprayed him in the eyes without provocation and dragged him along the ground to the point he cried out for his mother, Jackie. But in an affidavit filed by the arresting officer with the Lower Colorado River Authority, Benson is described as cocky, combative and smelling of alcohol. Benson is expected back at Halas Hall on Tuesday to resume voluntary workouts and tell his side of the story to coach Lovie Smith, who Benson said was supportive during their initial conversation.

Typical Friday night for some of us, without the intervention of cops though.

If the police were arresting me and pepper-spraying me while MY mother was around, I'd yell for her, too.

Cops aren't paid enough to arrest all the nutjobs out there. Personally, I hate dealing with drunks. On the other hand, for every nutjob who resists arrest, there are two cops who resort to spray if the suspect twitches an eyelid.
If you're over 6', over 200 lbs, or ethnic, it pays to immediately fall to the ground saying, "I surrender, please tell me how I can cooperate" as soon as cops show up. Otherwise, you'l be "subdued."

Blood wolf,
What does "ethnic" mean? Can you be a white guy and be ethnic too?

I don't think that calling the cops MFer's is exactly calling out for your mother. Unless one of them is your mother's boyfriend, in which case it may be technically accurate (if not exactly advisable).

I agree with Blutwulf.
No need to drink out in the twon late at night, and irresponsibly. He's loaded.
Bring the b-i-i-t-t-c-c-h-h-e-e-s-s and the boo's home with you and get your " drink on in the crib'.
And FYI: if you do leave the house..try putting on something else besides a wife beater.

Er... yes you can. I suggest a nice dictionary for reference. "Ethnic" will be in the "E" section.

If he was even decent, I might actually care, but he's awful, and the Bears show how they're awful at 1st round offensice talent. Oh and Rex is our quarterback. Can't wait til Sept. ):

Benson may suck, but I gotta believe him on this one. You have a river patrol cop, which I imagine never sees anything remotely exciting, in Texas, getting a chance to arrest a mediocre athlete. It all adds up to an overzealous officer using excessive force.

The report was that his mother was with him on the boat and that he asking for help from the person closest to him, not crying his eyes out. I don't much like Benson as a player, but the above comments sound pretty "girlie-man" to me.

He wasn't calling out for his mother. He was quoting "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" when they peppersprayed him, screaming, "MAMA NO!" This was followed by a scream of, "Don't tase me, bro!"
DO_WORK_SON | 05/06/08, 07:54 AM
funniest thing i've read so far today!! just because of the immediate imagery of will smith yelling "mama no" and you took it over the top with the "don't tase me bro" refernece. actually benson may have said "don't tase me just because i'm a bro". look for stand up work, seriously that was funny!
