Mudisfun 678 Posted September 4, 2018 Report Share Posted September 4, 2018 What the hell is wrong with people? A frigging police Sargent assaulting an umpire? Who are we expected to call on if our own police cannot keep themselves in check? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

scrounge 1,277 Posted September 5, 2018 Report Share Posted September 5, 2018 This happened 6 yrs ago to a colleague of mine. As far as I know, nothing ever happened to the attacker cop.http://www.dispatch.com/content/stories/local/2012/06/17/adult-brawl-ends-youth-ballgame.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites

STOP FRATERNIZING WITH PLAYERS AND COACHES . . . STOP ACKNOWLEDGING FANS . . . STOP TRYING TO BE POPULAR WITH THE PARTICIPANTS . . . Just be businesslike, answer reasonable questions, be approachable when approached properly, etc. . . . BUT, BEYOND THAT PLEASE SHUT UP!!!!! Geez, Fetch, we know this is your pet peeve, but what is the big deal? The big deal is that your ratings are taking a beating from coaches, observers, crew chiefs, NCAA evaluators, etc. You’re not fooling anyone . . . coaches do not want you on the field kissing babies and running for mayor, they want you focused and working hard at your craft. Guys are losing opportunities for more D-I games, conference tourneys and NCAA post season strictly based on focus and professionalism. If you’re too busy talking, you aren’t focused on umpiring. By the way—SHUT UP, or did I already mention that?" 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mac266 39 Posted June 22, 2020 Report Share Posted June 22, 2020 The article cites an arrest affidavit, which is the document used to file charges against the offender. So he's not going to get away with it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
