    The 64-year-old businessman also told Real Sports that he has gone to rehab for addiction 15 times

    I believe him when he says his hip surgery is the reason he failed the sobriety test. After 15 rehabs, he surely never operated a vehicle while intoxicated. That would defy all odds.

    Police in the Indianapolis suburb of Carmel pulled Irsay over after observing a man in a Toyota Highlander driving slowly, stopping in the roadway and failing to use a turn signal.

    Lol. Yeah police across the world are constantly pulling over Toyota Highlanders driving like a confused elderly lady merging on to an interstate, everyone knows that’s the profile for a whiny jackass billionaire.

      “I don’t care what it sounds like,” Irsay said. “It’s the truth … I could give a damn what people think how anything sounds or sounds like. The truth is the truth, and I know the truth.”

      This is the real problem with the billionaires. It doesn’t matter what they do or what anyone other than maybe other billionaires think.

    It can’t be all that bad if he still chooses to be a wealthy old white man. He can choose to be just an old white man, most people with actual prejudice can’t choose to change what they are targeted for.

    Oh brother. First police are “prejudiced” against all minorities and the impoverished, now they are “prejudiced” against white billionaires. Why can’t people be honest and mature enough to admit, police arrest or ticket them for one overall and important reason - because they have broken the law and / or because they are doing something potentially harmful. Just ONCE I’d like to hear an arresstee actually have the balls to admit, “yeah they were right to arrest me, I was breaking the law.” How nice it would be if humans were capable of even a small scintilla of honesty.

          That’s what the police report says anyway. The bodycams had a rather peculiarly timed malfunction during the event. But hey, the two policemen involved investigated each other and decided that it wasn’t them, so it’s all good… Foolish rider injured himself by not holding onto the saddle more. Funny how all the injuries are police baton shaped. That seems to happen a lot. I wonder if there is any law of nature that gives them that shape all by itself.

            Well, yeah, you’re gonna get a police baton-shaped injury when you’re riding your horse illegally and fall off the horse right onto the police baton.

      The police are prejudiced against those without power. They’re merely bullies, enabled by those in power.

      That’s why governments don’t enforce stricter hiring practices for police. Last thing they want is a smart police force that might turn on them when the people inevitably do.
