Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse, in terms of bad press for NC State, this shit happens.

Quote :

"NC State starting defensive tackle Tank Tyler is scheduled to go to court on Oct. 11 to face a misdemeanor charge of assaulting a Raleigh police officer, according to a report in the Durham Herald-Sun. Tyler, a 6-2, 305-pound senior from Fayetteville, N.C., was arrested in July after allegedly "leaning forward and lunging at the officer in a threatening manner to strike him" at a night club on Capital Boulevard. Tyler was also cited for being intoxicated and disruptive in a public place and was reportedly challenging others to fight. This news breaks just a few days after Tyler was ejected from NC State's 37-17 loss at Southern Miss after an official said the Wolfpack tackle spit at him."

9/19/2006 9:36:36 AM

WHAT IS THIS SHIT?!?!

"leaning forward and lunging at the officer in a threatening manner to strike him"

Did he strike him or not.

9/19/2006 9:36:47 AM

doesn't matter if he hit him or not

that's not what assault is all about

9/19/2006 9:37:35 AM

you fucks really have no clue whats up and whats down when it comes to anything involving our players fucking up

its always some fuckin agenda to you


he fuckin lunged at an officer and you know damn well that shit wont fly, especially when you are tanks size

9/19/2006 9:39:12 AM

exactly, damn, tank needs to get his shit together.

9/19/2006 9:41:33 AM

no one is saying there is some agenda

i am saying that charging him with assault is bs

read

9/19/2006 9:42:01 AM

except that it isnt BS

9/19/2006 9:42:42 AM

assault requires injury or threat of injury

9/19/2006 9:43:27 AM

the blame lies in part with Chuck and in part with rap videos

all the lunging and disrespect of authority figures

bingo. that's exactly what Tank did in this situation.

to a cop, no less.

[Edited on September 19, 2006 at 9:45 AM. Reason : .]

9/19/2006 9:45:04 AM

and Tanks dumb ass lunging at me is certainly threat of injury.

Moron.

C'mon Tank, you gotta do better than that.

This will certainly make us worse if he can't play. He's a stud...

9/19/2006 9:45:07 AM

being intimidating doesnt constitute making a threat

9/19/2006 9:49:26 AM

e30

don't take this the wrong way, but are you by chance black?

come on guy, really not that hard to understand


"leaning forward and lunging at the officer " constitutes making a threat

you said it yourself, what he did was a "threat of injury"

no, im just probably the only person on here that has been charged with assault for no reason

9/19/2006 9:52:42 AM

well, i guess you are going to continue and try to make yourself look like an idiot
we tried to help you out

9/19/2006 9:53:13 AM

you're also a dumbass.

are you fucking tank tyler? are you really this fucking dumb???!

just because youre a fucking criminal doesnt give you license to blindly defend the rest of your kind

9/19/2006 9:53:30 AM

im a pretty big guy and got charged with assault when they said i flexxed up into a threatening posture and called the cop an idiot (got completely dropped)

so yeah i think his charge is probably bs too

9/19/2006 9:55:42 AM

lunging at an officer seems a little different than flexing

9/19/2006 9:56:30 AM

i think you need to study dictionary, and recall (at least i hope it would be a recollection) what "threatening" means

if you do something stupid like flex at a cop, and you being big, be it big of muscle or just fat, the cop has the right to be threatened, they dont have time for your chest beating drunken bullshit

[Edited on September 19, 2006 at 9:58 AM. Reason : g]

9/19/2006 9:56:49 AM

well you are an idiot then
smart people dont do that kind of shit around cops or people with guns for that matter

9/19/2006 9:56:50 AM

no kidding, you may not like cops, but you should never threaten or disobey them.

that's just plain dumb.

9/19/2006 9:58:10 AM

see i didnt do anything, and still got charged
thats the point

9/19/2006 9:58:26 AM

you did something, you threatened a cop

AND called him an idiot, that was sure to neutralize the situation

[Edited on September 19, 2006 at 9:59 AM. Reason : g]

9/19/2006 9:58:46 AM

um, no i didnt

[Edited on September 19, 2006 at 9:59 AM. Reason : i did call him an idiot]

9/19/2006 9:59:27 AM

i'd say you were lucky to get the charge dropped.

9/19/2006 9:59:53 AM

so what are you arguing? that they slapped a charge on you that you didnt do?

that has nothing to do with this story


thats a whole lot different than thinking flexing at a cop/lunging at one isnt assault

[Edited on September 19, 2006 at 10:01 AM. Reason : g]

9/19/2006 10:01:03 AM

lunge/flex = assault
strike = battery

9/19/2006 10:02:07 AM

maybe you all should hit the gym and find out what bs charges you get

9/19/2006 10:08:48 AM

what??

you dont get charges by flexing your biceps in front of a mirror for 4 hours


you get them by being a dumb fuck

[Edited on September 19, 2006 at 10:10 AM. Reason : g]

9/19/2006 10:09:25 AM

Not everyone that goes to a gym becomes an idiot.

exactly, e30, lay off the roids, they're affecting your brain.

9/19/2006 10:11:48 AM

the cop probably said something about how much our football team sucks.

9/19/2006 10:13:38 AM

you can't assault someone for telling the truth.

9/19/2006 10:14:52 AM

wow, this thread became retarded with the quickness

I am curious as if the "night club" was the Foxy Lady though

9/19/2006 10:17:11 AM

there's a Buffalo Brothers Wings up Capital north

maybe that's the night club they're talking about

On the plus side, at least someone is afraid of our defensive line.

9/19/2006 10:35:15 AM

This took place at the Corner Pocket or Sheetz

9/19/2006 10:37:50 AM

wow,

sheetz is a gas station, not a night club

only FAL gets into shit at a gas station
