So this is how Clemson Police operates?
Student beaten by Clemson football player is recovering CLEMSON — A Clemson student severely beaten in an altercation with a Clemson football player last month is recovering at his home in Mount Pleasant. Philip Prince II was critically injured when he was assaulted by Jamie Cumbie around 2 a.m. May 28 in Clemson, according to a Clemson Police incident report. The Clemson Police’s initial report blacked out the names of Prince and two men accompanying Cumbie, including a teammate who was not charged.

Why would the Clemson Police Department black out the names of the former University Presidents Grandson and a Star Athlete???? Kinda makes you wonder why no other athletes have been arrested in Clemson since 1995... Could it be there have been many athletes arrested but had there names blacked out? Corrupt....

RE: So this is how Clemson Police operates?
It is not "corrupt", the police department can chose to redact the names from the initial report until more information is gathered. Many times the victim's names are redacted because, well, depending on the crime the victims do not want anyone to know and may not chose to want to prosecute (not the case here, but is probably department policy). Many times the accused names are redacted until a formal charge is brought. And no, getting arrested for something is not necessarily a formal charge. USC PD and/or columbia city just chose not to do this (I guess - I am just assuming from y'alls tone that this is not done in cola).

I can't say 100% if they do or don't but considering there is WISTV.com breaking news, crawls on cable tv, 6 column arial bold headlines in The state, facebook alerts, twitter updates, text message notifications, mug shots appearing everywhere but your kitchen sink, radio announcements, Ron Morris expose...every single time we do the least bit wrong.....then yeah, I think USC/Cola police report everything.

Re: So this is how Clemson Police operates?
Another question is if this is standard Clemson PD policy? Do they redact or omit the names for all potential crimes or just the ones involving Clemson players or coaches? I will bet that such a policy is not uniformly followed in that city, but is instead "selectively" followed.

RE: So this is how Clemson Police operates?
Its very simple. The city of Clemson is run by the University, despite having a mayor and city councel. Im sure in a locked safe in the Clemson PD Chief's office there is a little orange folder locked away and it is titled "For the overall good of Clemson" In this folder it gives the Chief very detailed instructions on how to deal with University matters, such as what to do if a CU Athletic Directer's Son gets busted shoplifting thousands of dollars of sunglasses, or Athletes beating up Girlfriends, Athletes getting arrested... You would have to be a fool to not understand whats really going on down there. How many arrest for fights, drugs, underaged drinking, domestic abuse/violence has gone on and been covered up, blacked out, or arrest made only to let them go once they found out who they were??? I along with the rest of SC are not stupid, you cant tell me that in states all over the country athletes are getting arrested for whatever in every college except Clemson... All of the Arrest reported lately were very serious and there was no way to cover it up, yet in Clemson they don't commit small crimes like underaged drinking, simple posession, ect... BS

Everyone on earth knows the names were blacked out to make it more difficult for the media to find issues up in tater town. You know it, so please save us the crap you're spewing. BS belongs in CU on the farm, not here.

The only reason this even got out is because the victim's grandfather has enough influence to get Cumbie kicked off the team.

YOU ARE FoS !!!!! Actually, I'm not. It is up to the PD to determine what they are going to redact. That is completely factual. Now, do they "selectively" remove players names in these situations - I have no clue. Kind of what I gather from most of y'alls posts is really more that you are angry that Clemson players "get away with it" if these things are occuring and USC players do not. So, would you prefer Clemson players get caught doing every thing they do (if the police department is indeed covering things up as y'all say) or would you prefer that USC PD turn more of a blind eye? Just curious. |

RE: So this is how Clemson Police operates?
I think that since USC doesnt turn a blind eye..
we have rights to expect the same for clemson, since clearly this is an issue that reflects poorly in an unequal, unfair and disproportionate fashion.
I am sure that none of us want a blind eye turned on lawbreaking.
However, I suspect that we also are bothered by the apparent difference in opinions of what exactly constitutes breaking the law.
Using standards held to USC athletes (underage drinking, dissorderly conduct, playing your stereo too loud, etc) there is probably not a single one of us that wouldnt have been arrested at some point in their college career. And the knowledge that most of those crimes are committed by everyone (like speeding) makes it even more questionable as to why only USC athletes get busted for them.

Let's not forget that 2 Clemsux track & field coaches were caught embezzling thousands of dollars. Not only were they not fired, they were able to pay back the money over time (did they actually do that, no one knows).
