Cutting Evans was a mistake imo... Cam's rush to judgement may have cost the Dolphins DL rotation a very promising player... and it didn't have to be that way...
If you look at what's been in the news lately (see below) regarding the Miami Beach police it would have served Cam, Evans, and the team better to let the facts present themselves. Cam over reacted (imo) put his foot in his mouth and then was forced to take action. He should have learned from Rile's mistake.
"I cringe when I hear my clients are going down there," said agent Mark Bartelstein, who represents about 40 NBA players. He said he tells them to avoid SouthBeach because he believes in some cases police "mishandled and mistreated" athletes.
Heat coach and President Pat Riley also indirectly raised questions about the Miami Beach police. Riley immediately suspended guard Robert Hite after a DUI arrest in January but, after charges were dropped against Hite, Riley didn't discipline forward James Posey for the same charges in April.
In explaining the different approaches, Riley said he'd made a mistake with Hite and wouldn't decide on any discipline for Posey until he got the "real, real" facts. Police said Hite's blood-alcohol level was well below the legal limit when he was arrested.
In a separate incident...
Police said Davis, an NBA center, refused to leave a hotel when asked repeatedly, accused police of targeting him because he's black and then walked toward police in what they said was an "aggressive manner." Police shocked the 6-foot-11, 250-pound Davis with a stun gun and arrested him.
In December, a jury found Davis not guilty on counts of assault and resisting an officer without violence. Davis told the Associated Press "justice was served." Wells, his agent, said police were too aggressive.
This is the action (taken for Chambers) that should have been taken with Evans... instead Cam exposes his double standard...
On Chris Chambers: Team spokesman Harvey Greene said Saturday night that the team was aware of the incident and was in "the process of gathering more information."
