    yeah, those are all the facts. Glad you educated yourself fully on the case

    read the original story, the guy had to go to the hospital. here's something you may not know, just because you say you need to go to the hospital while being taken to jail, doesn't mean you're gonna get to go. THE JAIL HOUSE OFFICIALS SENT HIM THERE

    again, reading comprehension, the only thing I would like to know is why he ended up in condition to need to go to the hospital, when apparently he didn't need to before leaving with the police. I think that's a reasonable question, you don't?


    The guy was taken to the hospital, he didn't need to go before he left the scene in the squad car. that's all I'm saying, there's nothing to be skeptical of with the accuser, I just want

    what do you disagree with, that he needed to go to the hospital, that he didn't when he origianally left with the cops? are or you just going to rely on quannell's a race baiting jerk argument?

    I see what you are saying pg. I just don't like that everyone jumps to conclusion based on one side of the story, when the other side can't say anything to defend themselves while it is under investigation. Plus I think Quannell has had similar instance where they do not reveal all facts or purposely hide important facts to further his cause.

    I don't think we'll get any solid facts.

    The investigation is over though. You'd think the police would release the results of the investigation: what they believe happened, what injuries the guy had, where they believe those injuries occurred, and why he was sent to the hospital.

    There doesn't seem to be any reason not to release that information.

    what condition? they arent even clear. An older man needing to go to the hospital after being placed under stress isnt hard evidence. And do you just ignore 2 independent witnesses? Let me guess, another case of "the man" making up stories, right...



    If there was signs of a "beating" don't you think Driver would have his high priced lawyers plaster those over the news? Don't you think they would be holding a press conference in front of the court house?

    I know most love to pile on the cops every chance they get, but sometimes people do cry wolf with nothing there. And this hardly seems like a sound enough circumstance to claim a wolf was present.

    I agree at this point. I was referring more to a lot of the posts earlier in this thread.

    I don't know how you guys can argue one way or the other with such little information available.

    My problem is the media not digging deep enough to find out what really happened. I mean, we don't even know what kind of injuries the guy sustained. You would think someone would...oh, I don't know, maybe interview someone at the hospital? Maybe ask what kind of injuries the guy had? You would think that would be an important part of the story.

    WHAT DOES "UNRESPONSIVE" MEAN???? That could mean he didn't feel like talking to the police or it could mean he was dead. We just have no idea. It's all very strange.

    Who's crying wolf, he was at the hospital, no crying, he was there. I do agree that we don't have enough info on what his condition was, but when you actually see the wolf, ie being in the hospital, you're not just crying it.

    I was in the hospital last year. I don't even do drugs nor am i Diabetic. Add those two factors in and I think you get more hospital visits.

    being at the hospital also doesnt mean that 1) someone else caused you to be there and 2) that there is actually anything wrong with you.

    Bottom line, the most obvious sign that this was a bogus claim is with how little the "victim" is actually fighting this, especially given his resources. thats fairly reasonable, imo

    Or the flipside could be, the most obvious sign the police are hiding something is how little information they are providing on what really happened.

    Both sides of that argument are nonsense at this point.

    2 witnesses is "little information"...?

    Again, if you accuse someone of something, you better show something more than a visit to the hospital. Show me a bruise. Show me a scratch. have a witness. Come out and say something.

    On a side note, Texas lead the USA this year in the most Police Offer deaths.

    On the local news this morning it was announced that the three officers are about to file a suit against Driver's dad and Quanell X.

    We may hear the results of that investigation after all.

    Now I'm wondering if perhaps the cover up of whatever they found in their investigation was for DRIVER'S benefit and not the cops.
