Re: Junior Galette Arrested
 

In many states (not sure about LA), if the police are called out on a domestic abuse call they are required to make an arrest, even with little or no evidence. This policy is meant to diffuse the situation before it escalates any further.

Many women take advantage of this, as saintfan has pointed out in previous posts. Unfortunately, it is part of many a divorcing woman's playbook to erroneously make domestic dispute calls in an effort to have their spouses arrested. Mine tried it a few times until I convinced the arresting officers that seeing as how there were no signs of an altercation and she was the one making the calls that maybe she should be the one taken into custody. Worked out well, never had another incident after that, :).

Doesn't seem like that's the case with JG's situation though, :neutral:.

Re: Junior Galette Arrested
 

Love ya Slo but I'm sorry I have to intervene here.

First off there is not a requirement by police departments to make an arrest on a domestic with "little or no evidence".

That's illegal.

And if you guys have dumb enough cops in your portion of country that do that (not saying you don't), then they won't be cops for very long.

God, maybe I should just avoid these conversations. This is getting ridiculous. Like the guy who tells everyone he got pulled over for going 1 mph over the speed limit and got "screwed" by getting a DUI.

Look, I know there are some messed up cops out there. But they are rare. And just because you dealt with a piece of **** doesn't mean most of them are. The piece of **** you dealt with is the minority, not the majority.

Most officers do what we do to help and to take care of people. Most officers would take a bullet for you.

Don't believe it? Go for a ride-a-long one day.

Re: Junior Galette Arrested
 

And we're back...

Now, with regards to Junior Galette, these are issues, questions I have:

First, does this woman have an alias? (i.e. Sweet Pea? You, doing a world tour?)

Second, Junior was made a "team captain" and I keep wondering, was this a similar move to what the US Post Office does with employees who are problem children that they make them 'supervisors'?

Third, it occurs to me that Galette's 'advisors' will earn more per hour than Warren Buffet gets for one of his power lunches in the 48 hours postpartyum...

Fourth, talk about Rodney Dangerfield not getting any respect, Galette's arrest was the last news bullet on the NFL page on CBSSports.com, I'd like to know if Junior feels disrespected?!?

Finally, regardless of roster bonus and guarantees as nothing is truly ever guaranteed other than death and taxes, could there be some moral contractual clause, commissioner action that would void remaining money, salary cap commitment to JG?

If so, I'll pay the *****'s cab fare! Hell, I'll buy her an Applebee's steak & Air Fare back to Baltimore!

Knowing Goodell, this time he'll **** us even more and leaves us to our own devices and stuck with Loomis' mistake!!!

Re: Junior Galette Arrested
 

Wish he had shown some of that aggression on the field this season.

Re: Junior Galette Arrested
 

That is actually true! Good point, too.

My ex before my most recent ex once slapped me across the face for calling her the dreaded C word. I know I shouldn't have, but I digress. After the slap her body postured like another may be on the way. I immediately informed her that if she hit me again I would call the police. With that she replied "Go ahead, I'll just tell them you hit me, who do you think they'll believe?"

I thought about that and concluded she had a good point, lol. True story, too.

Re: Junior Galette Arrested
 

Jnorm, I love ya, but in some areas it is in fact their policy. May be unspoken, but it is. Don't ever kid yourself, homie. The laws, the family courts, etc are all stacked against men. At least right now. There is a slow of the pendulum, and she'll make her way back toward the center eventually, but currently this is a woman's world, lmao!

Re: Junior Galette Arrested
 

I do love how the 'C' word is so reviled over there
Some people would be shocked over here i think. It can use used as a off the cuff remark
Oh you silly ....
Use often at soccer games, you ....... ....

Re: Junior Galette Arrested
 

Well, that's how it was explained to me by the Honolulu PD, the Detroit PD & the Wayne County Sheriff's Depts, respectively. It may not be the same all over, which I mentioned, but be assured, it is a policy in some locations/depts. in my experience. #shrug.

Re: Junior Galette Arrested
 

I don't want to get into the whole cop debate thing but being educated in the criminal justice system it is indeed policy for some localities to make an arrest regarding domestic violence. The only evidence required being an accusation from one party involved. Not every state holds these standards, and this is somewhat new due to cops rarely making arrests and later being called back to make an arrest for murder.

On the subject of JR, I could go either way. Unfortunately it seems like he has the maturity of a 12 year old. My only hope is we can get something done with his contract, because this could result in a 6 game suspension.

Re: Junior Galette Arrested
 

Ever watch that show" Deadly Women" don't think women can kill.Just sayin'. If anyone including a woman who would come at me or someone I loved to do harm I would do whatever it took to protect myself or loved ones woman or not.

Re: Junior Galette Arrested
 

That should start with leaving them...

I don't understand the mentality of staying in abusive relationships.

Re: Junior Galette Arrested
 

First of all, it was in the article, the arrest was required under Kenner Police policies because of visible injuries (her earring ripped off).


This is an interesting discussion about people's various experiences with the police, but there's no question that this whole thing with Junior the other day was completely, totally, absolutely AVOIDABLE, by him, in any number of a million different ways or things he could have done differently. She was a "dancer" who sometimes did "chores" for him? What, like lingerie cleaning or feather dusting in a bikini or something? COME ON MAN.

I'm a season ticket holder and I'm outraged. Simply because the whole thing is so absolutely FRIGGIN STUPID. As a longtime season ticket holder, and generally a huge fan of the Brees, Payton and Loomis era, I feel like I don't recognize or know this team at all anymore.

Re: Junior Galette Arrested
 

My hope is that there's nothing to this other than a stupid argument and we find out nothing was worth charging anyone with anything serious.

Then I hope its a wake-up call to Junior to grow the **** up.

Re: Junior Galette Arrested
 

Let's have a poll: How many copies of tweets are too many?

I heard someplace that Junior got arrested. Anyone shed a little light on the subject?

Re: Junior Galette Arrested
 

Great point there, man, no doubt. I figured someone would bring that up at some point in this thread.

Women start pulling knifes & guns & other pointy, shiny objects that'll do bodily damage and any human being has a right to defend their own life and the lives of their loves ones by any means necessary.

Also, on the battlefield...with women strapping IED's to themselves doing suicide bombings. Yeah, they get taken out before they reach their target...like a man. Equal opportunity.

Like I said in my 1st post, the evidence and facts should clear that line between self-defense & abuse for Junior. If it's abuse, cut his @$$.

Re: Junior Galette Arrested
 

These are making me more violent. I want to harm each person in them.

Re: Junior Galette Arrested
 

Look it up. I just spend 20k (and still spending) on a lawyer. I spent another 10k on a Psych eval. I've done my homework. I am VERY serious about doing all I can do to shed some light on this.

People need to know. People like you need to know, and I mean no offense to you, but we live in a "save a ho" society, built BY DESIGN by women who want to have their cake and eat it too, aided by politicians willing to give them whatever they want for that almighty vote.

But people (psych professionals in particular) are starting to catch on. I'm hoping that by the time my son gets married he will not have to fear this kinda nonsense should his marriage go south. No one should.

Please do not dismiss because you simply don't have the information. Domestic Violence should not be tolerated. Neither should we allow woman to use it as a tool.

Re: Junior Galette Arrested
 

By far the most accurate post on the subject.

Re: Junior Galette Arrested
 

I agree with you, but in their mind that **** does not compute. Equality through exception. Have you ever watched a woman try to reason something? Women are crazy, no ****, man. I mean they really are.

Here is a good story, and it is true. I was recently working with a group of women. There was only one other man in the entire group. During a discussion one of the girls replied to her friend "I would have smacked the **** out of him." So I thought this would be a good test group. (I liked them all, they were cool as co-workers) I sat near 4 of the women. I said I have been slapped by two women in my life, but have never put my hands on one. How many of you have slapped or hit a man? 4 for 4. Each of them raised their hand. True story. Not an ounce of embarrassment, matter fact it was more a joke and there was pride there.

Re: Junior Galette Arrested
 

It is beginning to look like this will all get thrown out. There were FOUR witnesses that all say Junior did nothing to the girl. She refused to leave his premises and brandished a knife. This was recorded.

Move along.

Re: Junior Galette Arrested
 

No. Don't move along. Yell. Scream. Raise three shades of hell. This woman, assuming she lied, should be made to suffer in JUST THE SAME WAY she would have him suffer had he been guilty. That's the only was to stop the abuse of the system.

Re: Junior Galette Arrested
 

Re: Junior Galette Arrested
 

You are correct and the Saints likely wrote it as a roster bonus so they can convert it to signing bonus and spread it out. A signing bonus can only be spread over five years, so often teams write these guaranteed roster bonuses which then are converted to signing and move money further out. Either way, the Saints would absorb the whole amount if he is cut.

Re: Junior Galette Arrested
 

Trust me he's already paid, and if it turns out he did nothing - and it appears his phone video and FOUR witnesses will confirm it -- he's already had to endure the press, and for a man in his occupation that matters. He's already had to bond himself out of jail.

And nothing happens to the accuser. This is wrong on every level one can imagine, and yet women do it (and get away with it) all day every day.

Re: Junior Galette Arrested
 

I agree, SaintFan. These charges are serious, and can be abused.
There should be consequences when one cries wolf, if it is beyond a
shadow of doubt there was abuse.

I wonder if a player announces he has a terminal disease, and one month
to live would we immediately begin discussing cap money?

Re: Junior Galette Arrested
 

Damn...I really, really, really, really hope not.

Re: Junior Galette Arrested
 

I don't see how the business discussions of it mean that people don't care about the personal players involved.

If a player dies, should we cancel the season out of respect? Or should we pay respects and then move on.

If a key player died tomorrow you can bet the front office would and should be focused on what to do because of it. It doesn't mean they don't care about what happened.

Re: Junior Galette Arrested
 

I agree or at least I get where Skymike is coming from. If we don't like the player we get rid of the player, but the way people piled on in this thread hoping to use the likely fact that this woman LIED in a VERY SERIOUS WAY about this man as a means to an end really caught me the wrong way too.

Re: Junior Galette Arrested
 

I aint mad at nobody... its just a rhetorical question, a curiosity. If anything,
I found it amusing.

A big part of what makes me a Saints fan is the PEOPLE involved.

The first thing that hooked me was seeing the Saints up close, on the way to my bleacher seats in the Astrodome. (security froze us in place, as they were going to the locker.) I stuck my hand out, and they all slapped it. Richard Todd actually bent around to shake my hand, when I said hi to him.

The second thing was the FANS of New Orleans.

I liked Archie Manning, back when, and I've always admired our players. We seem to have very few jerks, unlike some other teams. I'm still blown away by how accomodating guys like Zach Strief & Pierre Thomas were to me & my kids back in Milsaps training camps, in the heat.

The 3rd thing was New Orleans, and all of Louisiana, and now the Gulf Coast too--- I wanted the people who root for the Saints to get a ring. So my thing is people. Im not much about capspace, etc.

BUT---- Part of the fun of this board, is some of you guys being armchair GM's, and nearly ALL my friends who are WhoDAts know more deep information on how sports franchises operate than any other fanbase. We have more women who can name our linemen than anybody elses fans.

So absolutely do talk about capspace. Like bandwith, the term escapes my understanding, but I aint hatin on nobody. This is your party. If anything, I realize Im in the minority on a football board. Most of you know all these intimate financial details.... I know Brees makes 100 million dollars. I couldnt tell you anyone elses salary.

Re: Junior Galette Arrested
 

lol. I believe it, man. I was married to one. When you say crazy... That's the best description any man can really give. Without getting into any details, suffice it to say I've experienced plenty of incomprehensible, borderline psychotic moments. Even the "normal" one's are sometimes quite difficult to understand.

I often question what women are thinking, but it's more of a rhetorical sort of tick, I guess. Because I know it isn't going to make sense most of the time.

Re: Junior Galette Arrested
 

Oh, absolutely. If he's guilty of charges, good riddance. Not sure he is, but hopefully we'll find out something definitive. I just like the idea of equal justice to go along with equal rights, which I hope we can all agree on.

Re: Junior Galette Arrested
 

It should make sense tho. No reason it shouldn't, unless you're dealing with an irrational person.

Read up on "Cluster B Personality Disorders". It reads like a handbook for my ex.

Re: Junior Galette Arrested
 

Man, this thread's throwing more curves at ya' than Bert Blyleven (MIN, CLE, and a few other MLB clubs) or a country road, :lol:.

Disclaimer: For the record, I only wanted to point out that in some municipalities JG would have been arrested/removed from the premises under the circumstances as a part of policy regardless of the circumstances due to the nature of the call and that may have been the case in Kenner. I wasn't trying to bash women, support women, advocate domestic violence, minimize domestic violence, discredit the police, credit the police or promote any other agenda other than the fact he was arrested doesn't necessarily mean he's guilty. These opinions are wholly my own and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of B&G, it's ownership, management, advertisers, subsidiaries or it's membership. :)

If anything, this incident reinforces the fact that's it's always best to tip your waitress, server, maid, escort-type persons ... or at least provide them with cab fare when they request it, ;) ... you pay 'em to go Junior, just sayin', :).

Re: Junior Galette Arrested
 

Can someone point me to the post where it confirms the woman lied and he is innocent of all charges? I found a post that his lawyer said that would be the result but all lawyers say that for their client. The truth is somewhere between her account and this lawyers account and if it goes to trial anything can happen. Perhaps I am missing the latest news accounting of this and all misdemeanor charges have been dropped.

The incident began when a guest at Junior Galette's home was asked to leave his house, and she refused. She then grabbed a knife and threatened Junior and four other people in the house, including Junior's girlfriend.
Junior Galette's attorney explains incident that led to arrest

self defense is all set up and Jr has all the witnesses. case closed

sounds like a girl i once dated but i did not have the witnesses :brood:

lessons learned

sexual equality does not exist in a court of law

always have witnesses

Re: Junior Galette Arrested
 

If the witnesses consist of JG, his gf, and a cousin- can we trust that they wouldn't lie to protect JG. I think we should reserve judgement on both sides.

Re: Junior Galette Arrested
 

you can bet if they need to lie they will. maid has nothing to offer them. besides lawyers and ethics are like yin and yang. polar opposites. honesty has nothing to do with a case.

ok for the minority of honesty lawyers out there that is a generalized statement that does not apply to you. but you have to admit you are a minority
