Sounds pretty personal honestly, like one cop or a group of cops had some type of personal vendetta against him...getting pulled over multiple times leaving the game and practices while still on stadium grounds?? Has any other player reported anything like this? Seems strange that he would be the only person this would happen to if it was this aggressive... "Marshawn Lynch revealed on a recent episode of Shannon Sharpe’s Club Shay Shay podcast that police profiling was the reason he left the Buffalo Bills. Lynch seemed almost at a loss for words as he told Sharpe about a series of incidents. “I’d get pulled over going to work, I’d get pulled over coming from work,” he said. “I got pulled over in the stadium leaving the game. I’m still on the property of the Buffalo Bills, and I got pulled over twice.

Royale with Cheese Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 I wonder what the whole story is. Not saying he's lying, he very well might have been pulled over for no reason...I wasn't there. It would be nice to hear reasons why. I had a friend that said cops were out to get him and why he got a ticket. He had expired tags by like 3-4 months but still felt like it wasn't justified and the cops targeted him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote Report: Lynch accused of stealing $20 Associated Press Jan 10, 2010, 11:50 AM ET BUFFALO, N.Y. -- Buffalo Bills running back Marshawn Lynch reportedly has been accused of stealing $20 from a police officer's wife. The Buffalo News reported Saturday on its Web site that a complaint to police said Lynch took money from the woman last month at a restaurant in Hamburg, N.Y. The woman's husband, Buffalo Police Sgt. William Crawford, filed the complaint with Hamburg police a day after, but they delayed giving a statement to detectives until Wednesday. The incident reportedly occurred Dec. 7. Hamburg police declined to comment but confirmed that Crawford made a complaint. Edited October 17, 2023 by DrDawkinstein 2 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, it's not impossible that Lynch just decided to steal $20 from some random woman while out in public. Quote Buffalo Bills running back Marshawn Lynch took $20 from a Southtowns woman at a Hamburg restaurant last month, according to information received by The Buffalo News. The woman's husband, Buffalo Police Sgt. William Crawford, filed a complaint with Hamburg police a day after the incident, but they delayed giving a statement to detectives until Wednesday, in part because she wanted to wait until the Bills' football season ended and Lynch was out of town. "She's terrified of him. He threatened her girlfriend who tried to retrieve the money after he robbed my wife," Crawford said. "He thinks he's above the law because of his status as an athlete." The incident occurred Dec. 7, at the TGI Friday's at McKinley Mall, where the detective sergeant's wife and her girlfriend had stopped before heading home. After hearing what happened, Crawford said he went the next day to the Hamburg Police Department and filed a complaint against Lynch.

Crawford asked that his wife's name be withheld because she and her girlfriend are frightened of retribution from Lynch. Crawford said his wife's girlfriend was approached at the restaurant by another member of the Buffalo Bills, who struck up a conversation with the unmarried woman. At some point, Lynch arrived at the restaurant and joined them. When the woman's girlfriend stepped away from the table, Crawford said his wife pulled out a $20 bill to pay their check in preparation for leaving. Lynch, 23, of Hamburg, then grabbed the money from her hand. "He takes the $20 out of her hand, and my wife says 'What are you doing?' and Lynch says 'Don't worry.' When my wife's girlfriend came back to the table, she told her about it. The girlfriend approached Lynch and said, 'Give my friend her money back,' and Lynch threatened her saying 'Do you know who I am? There's going to be consequences.' "At that point, my wife and her girlfriend left," Crawford said. Crawford said he filed the complaint the next day with Hamburg police, and about 10 days later, a letter with $20 arrived at their home from the police. Michael P. Caffery, Lynch's Buffalo attorney, declined to comment on the incident. He said Lynch is out of town. Mark S. Carney, an attorney representing Crawford and his wife, who live in Orchard Park, raised concerns over how the $20 was returned. "In what other robbery case would you expect a police agency to be used as a delivery service to make restitution for payment of money wrongfully taken?" Carney said. The Crawfords later learned that Lynch tried to minimize the incident by telling Bills security personnel that he was a friend of hers. Crawford said that upset his wife, who does not know Lynch. At that point, she decided to give a statement to Hamburg police. "We're not doing this because I'm a policeman. We're doing this because he robbed her. We want it to go to a grand jury. Lynch is a predator," Crawford said. Lynch is currently on three years' probation for a misdemeanor gun possession charge in Los Angeles and, earlier this week, an Ontario woman began a negligence lawsuit against him for his highly publicized 2008 hit-and-run accident in downtown Buffalo. Lynch has two years remaining on a five-year contract that he signed in 2007. The original contract was worth $10.275 million. Bills spokesman Scott Berchtold said the team has no comment on the matter. Edited October 17, 2023 by DrDawkinstein 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punching Bag Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 The story about taking the $20 and threatening seems overboard and exaggerated. Could be woman who said it was nervous about him. My mother worked in restaurant in village of Orchard Park (same one my wedding reception was in) and he was being social with some people and when person put up money to pay from check he took it and then paid bill with credit card with very nice tip. Police can stop people on public property if there is cause. If they were just harassing him on stadium property he should have just asked for help from fellow players or Bills staff with clear head - have someone ride with him and another car follow him. If they stop him for no reasons he has witnesses and once he is out of Orchard Park. Even offer a member of press to go with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

947 Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 Lynch is literally openly smoking a blunt during half of his interview with Sharpe, I'm guessing it was filmed in his house. He seems quite blazed throughout & gets incoherent at times, I gave up. He didn't talk about Buffalo in the parts I saw, but he did say some other things that seemed far-fetched. He probably wasn't in the frame of mind to accurately recall anything. There are clips of the interview on YouTube. I had a hard time following along & gave up watching.

Logic Posted October 17, 2023 Share Posted October 17, 2023 I'll just say this... I'm a pretty "square" looking white guy. When I lived in western New York, I was routinely stopped for dubious reasons by the police. Once I was told that I was being stopped because the ball hitch on my truck was blocking a number on my license plate. Another time I was told that the air freshener hanging in my middle console was suspicious and the officer asked what I was trying to hide. Another time I was not given a reason WHY I was pulled over, but the officer pretty quickly asked if his dog could search my vehicle. I declined. After being stopped and harassed multiple times over the years for no legitimate reason, I have yet to have this happen even one time in my decade+ living in Oregon. My point is that I found the Rochester police -- in fairness, I never lived in Buffalo, so I can't comment on the Buffalo police -- to be overly aggressive and their frequent harassment to be lacking in merit and of questionable legality. And, as I said, I'm a square looking white guy. I don't think it's unreasonable to accept that a dreadlocked black man -- likely driving an expensive car -- is telling the truth when he speaks of unjustified police harassment in western New York. 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got stopped leaving work one night because I worked down by the Broadway Market and it was already dark since it was around this time of year and I was getting off at 8pm-ish. The police stopped me and asked what I was doing down there. Told them I was leaving work to go home. They asked where I worked. Mind you, I had my work clothes on that showed exactly where I worked so I just pointed to the logo... Then they said "Oh, we just wanted to check because there are a lot of white people who come down here at this time of night to buy drugs and we wanted to make sure that wasn't what you were doing down here." I looked at them and asked them "What was your probable cause to pull me over?" They said "Have a nice night." and walked away.
