THIS IS NOT WHAT IT APPEARS TO BE

If you've got warrants, don't appear on camera or take a weekend job where you will appear on camera in front of millions. That's our best advice to whomever is getting a custom escort from local authorities here following the South Carolina/Georgia games.
The image first surfaces at OnlineAthens and has gone viral on message boards, mostly because it seems to confirm what every one thinks about the SEC anyway, but it's not what it seems. According to our source (yea! a veritable source!) the man is most likely one of the chain gang, an irony in itself, and not an SEC official. The chain gangs are hired by the schools hosting the games, so this is not--we repeat--NOT an SEC official being carted away immediately following a game.
Not that we haven't supported that idea from time to time...(HT: Micah.)

i’m always a fan of the “zip tie” cuffs when in a pinch. i’m also a fan of the cop in shorts for comedic purposes. its impossible for them to look cool in shorts…so “men at work” of them.

Has anyone figured out what the arrest was for? Shouldn’t it be on a police blotter somewhere?

I have seen on another message board that it was a child support warrant.
And, since I saw it on a message board, it MUST be true.

I don’t like your jerkoff uniform. I don’t like your jerkoff chains. I don’t like your jerkoff behavior. And I don’t like you … jerkoff. Do I make myself clear?

He’s the one who invented the QuickStick…much like the metric system, it makes too much sense, so we’re throwing it out. Click on the link if you like reading terms such as “elongated member” without being declared NSFW.

Race Card Dept:
Is that another example of the White Man putting the Black Man down? (SKLM’s attempt at black humor, pun intended)

The Chubby cop is saying to the Ref:
“Had enough of your ‘Click-Clacks’ during the game.”

Gators may wear jean shorts, but Athens cops are rocking the Glock-with-Navy-shorts look, a MAJOR fashion faux pas after Labor Day.

Chubby cop: Those were not the extra inches we talked about if I tapped my foot….

I was coming on here to email you about that, glad to see (and should have known) you had it covered.
Unlike the dawgs and the spread.

Inmate 1: What were you arrested for?
Inmate 2: Officiating while black.

I’d laugh at Biggus, but sadly, that might be what happened

Actually, I think his infraction was saying :
“You know, these guys don’t look too fast to me”.

“What we have here is a failure to communicate”
(can’t believe that hasn’t been said yet)
