Well, Now I Know Where Michael Nunn Was Hiding...

[TRYHARD 2001]

Don't know how many people have seen this, but apparently Michael Nunn and Pat Miletich are gonna have themselves a kickboxing match somewhere in the Midwest maybe (probably not, but bear with me). None other than the greasiest smalltime lizard promoter US MMA has ever produced, Monte Cox, will be promoting it. That's not the real story for me.

I remember Miachael Nunn back in the late 80's and into the very early 90's as being a legit force in the Middleweight division. He even got himself a spot on Arsenio Hall! That being said, I hadn't heard or seen anything from him for what seems like forever till it was brought up on Sherdog.com just now. Apparently he got out of prison last year after being incarcerated for 16 freakin' years!

Digging a little deeper it appears Miachael was buying a kilo of blow for... $200! Ugh, what a yutz! Turns out he has a lot of arrests against him to. Most of them relate to him gettin' in scuffles and high speed chases back home in Davenport. Anyways, that's apparently the latest and greatest on this guy.

200 bucks for a kilo... that's beyond too good to be true! Like, so good you know it's a setup if you have half a brain.

Reminds me of a park we played football at as teenagers. These two cops would plant a case a beer hoping to catch underage kids picking it up and drinking it (yup, not much crime to speak of).

we’d throw the ball over to the case, move the case for our game, sit around the case and not touch it and laugh at the two cops reading papers covertly at the edge of the park.

at the time this made us feel like wizened criminal masterminds.

Seriously? That seems like a big-time case of entrapment to me. Mind you, I have no actual knowledge of the American legal system. Or the Canadian, really.

Yep, I remember when I was a kid a mates dad, an boozehound ex cop telling us how him and his fellow cop mates used to go into the area in the city where the aboriginals would meet ( and often drink) and when questioning them stand on their feet. They would inevitably react with a push or punch and they gave them the excuse to arrest them. Give them a few on the way to the paddy wagon/back at the station.

And people wonder why NWA never did a song called 'Fuck the fire brigade'.

i could go on all day about it but I won't, ironically, last night i was watching the docu on the new york "preppie murderer" who killed a woman, don't think he raped her. anyway, as i was watching the cops, who seemed like good men, talk about the case, i couldn't help thinking about the cases where i've heard of the cops in my town, beating and raping women, almost to the point of death. Thank god for widespread videocameras, it's the only thing that has put a damper on some of the madness that cops do. I seldom have any issues with them but i'm lowkey, most of my friends have had some real run ins as well as my late sister.

Overall I think most cops are good people. Like all professions there are bad ones.

if you watch false confessions on Netflix their ability to prey on the uneducated and scared with “let me help you” “get it off your chest and you can go home” etc for 12-15 hours is a travesty.

I had always figured that Nunn was set up; at the very least, he certainly wasn't a long-time drug trafficker. No way a career dealer thinks $200 for a key - from people he didn't know - was anything other than a trap. Successfully moving dope for 11 years and gets busted for something like that? I don't buy it. I do buy that he was presented a too-good-to-be-true opportunity when he needed it and he tried to take it. He's not innocent but I certainly don't believe he was a career criminal, either. If he was, he was the Forrest Gump of coke being able to avoid the law for that long with those brains.

Didnt a similar thing happen to Buju Banton?

Yep, Buju was entrapped by the defenders of law and order.

I don't think there is even a name for what they did to bill cosby, he spoke with law enforcement under the condition that his words would be sealed and couldn't be used against him and would be used to settle the case financially. They really pulled some shit to get him but I won't lose any sleep over it. Bill can't possible do the time that his rapes would demand. An average joe who gets labeled a racist for one rape, even if it was kinda iffy would never be able to function in society without that hanging over there heads.

So, the cops were buying beer for under-aged minors? How were they not arrested for that?

Oh, yeah, and entrapment too.

If you took it they would swarm in. Pot had just hit and I think they were trying to work leverage.
