Pierce: No Comment

Nother case of DWB..

I wonder if this was a case of a guy who felt he was being unfairly targetted, and that is why he was uncooperative. “Uncooperative” is a very vague word anyways…especially when you are dealing with cops, who need to be on their guard at all times. There are regularly misunderstandings, because of the intensity of any situation, when the police get involved. I like the fact that the cops were able to deescalate the situation, without going overboard, and allowing Pierce to go overboard.

Anyways, I think this is pretty much a non-story. Probably a misunderstanding, and a case of a frustrated athlete and some extra suspicious police.

I had a friend that got pulled over, passed the field sobriety test twice, then blew a .08. He was extremely uncooperative once he realized they were giving him a ticket. I can only imagine what someone feels like after doing the test twice then not blowing .08. Must feel like harassment.

but I’m not sure why he would be uncooperative

In another article, the word “agitated” was used instead of uncooperative. I think Pierce probably felt he was being unfairly targeted and really didn’t do anything to get pulled over. Young black guy driving an expensive car at 3 a.m.? DWB is not a new phenomenon. Happens all the time.

He was pissed off because they pulled him over for failing to signal while changing lanes. That’s absolutely DWB.

karma is a funny thing. the moment you get too big for your britches life has a way of slapping you down. Pierce has been partying, going on talk shows and proclaiming himself the best player in the world. Nothing wrong with celebrating and letting off some steam but it appears ( from a distance) that Paul is a little full of himself right now and this incident is just the universe’s way of saying " hey paul, time to get back to work and stop acting like an ass." As I tell my kids repeatedly – “nothing good ever happens after 2am”.

As I tell my kids repeatedly – “nothing good ever happens after 2am”.

I’m a big fan of fun, and I must say that a good deal of it has happened after 2 a.m.

I also heard the report that when Pierce passed all of his field and sorbriety tests Kevin Garnett screamed ANYTHING IS POSSIBULLLLLLL!!! from the passenger seat.

Expensive car making lane change with no blinker at 3am in Vegas. That’s going to get you pulled over a lot… and most of the time I’d bet the driver will be over .08.

Pierce is lucky. You saw his car. What cop could even tell what race the driver was in that thing at night?

Pierce just received another low-cost reminder to watch what he’s doing. I hope he’ll keep it in mind and act on it.

As I recall, early during the regular season, there was another story where a small number of Celtics had been partying late into the night, perhaps after a game in Toronto (?). And on their way out a side door, on the way to a limo, Paul Pierce, who apparently was inebriated, got involoved in a needless shouting match and in the face of some asinine local fan. Fortunately for Pierce, a cooler-headed Garnett stepped in and got him out of there before things escalated to anything really serious.

Perhaps Pierce should’ve paid more attention to that incident.

So far, Garnett & R. Allen have carried themselves like true champions _ with pride but w/ humility as well, with extreme joy but w/ dignity, too.

Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for Pierce.

I got pulled over last week. Guess it was DWW. Can’t believe mcpu40’s been in handcuffs before, wasn’t the little woman, was it? Which reminds me of the guy who forgot his anniversary, his wife told him “You better have something in the driveway tomorrow morning that goes from 0 to 200 in less than six seconds.” When she woke up, she saw a package in the driveway, which turned out to be bathroom scales. The guy hasn’t been heard from since.

Jesus, GET OFF PAULS NUTZ MEDIA! Damn, this is ridiculous.

Mercifully, they only checked for booze. Time for Pierce to grow up and use a limo.

whats he doing out at 3am anyway?

Paul,that was a “sign”…everything in this life happens for a reason. I think that was telling Paul its time to slow his roll.

He was uncooperative because he had just been pulled over and cuffed for DWB (Driving While Black), or the even more hideous crime of DWB Famous.

Seriously – the guy was in cuffs at one point and gets out of it all without so much as a traffic ticket? Pierce did the smart thing by leaving the car and getting in a taxi, because it was only a matter of time until something illegal materialized on his person or in is car.

Ridiculous.

I was at Foxwoods the other night playing poker and didn’t get home until 4:30 am. Does that make me a bad person? Las Vegas is a resort town, and 3 am there is like midnight in a regular city. I live in a resort area for the winter, and I adjust my sleep schedule accordingly. If I didn’t, I’d be walking around a ghost town for all of the morning, and missing out on the fun in the evening.

It looks to me like the police pulled over an innocent man, since Pierce passed their many tests, and they couldn’t find anything to charge him with there, despite having the temerity to handcuff him.

I do agree that Pierce should probably employ a bodyguard/driver, but maybe he just wants to be a Regular Joe once in a while.

You moralists who say “What was he doing out at 3 AM” make me laugh. Last time I checked, you’re not his mother, nor his keeper. The guy’s in his adopted hometown int he middle of his (short) offseason. Give him the break he needs.

Paul was lucky that this incident didn’t happen with Boston police. People have a way of dying around them when being “uncooperative.”

Look, I know Paul Pierce personally just like the rest of you, and I saw this event first hand so I feel I can pass judgment on him…

oh wait.

Hopefully Pierce will learn from this and take a cab or a limo. Paul is the “best” player in the world.Just not the best driver.
