Cops high five and fist bump after catching Charleston shooter

From People.com:

“Shelby, North Carolina, police have released the dash-cam footage from alleged gunman Dylann Roof’s arrest.

Roof, 21, was apprehended in North Carolina hours after he allegedly opened fire on unsuspecting parishioners at the Emanuel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina, killing nine people.

In the raw footage, police officers can be seen high-fiving and fist-bumping after making the arrest last Thursday. Later that night, Roof was flown back to South Carolina, where he was charged with nine counts of murder.

Shelby police Chief Jeff Ledford described Roof’s arrest as uneventful. “He sat down here very quietly,” he said. “He was not problematic.”

Police also released the 911 call that led to Roof’s arrest. In the audio clip, Todd Frady describes the suspect and his vehicle to officers. “Black Hyundai, it has this weird circle tag on the front,” he says, “and the boy has a bowl-lookin’ haircut.”

Pretty cool moment right there.

People all over the world’s hearts were and very much still are hurting for the victims, their families and anybody involved in this unspeakable tragedy. I know I can’t even imagine what they’re going through. You can’t really, unless one of these senseless acts of evil that you never think could happen to you and your loved ones, happens to you and your loved ones.

But it’s little moments like this that come as a result of these disasters that give you some hope. The “Boston Strong” mantra after the marathon attack comes to mind right away. The way the city came together, the countless stories of people selflessly helping each other, even the guy who shoveled off the race’s finish line this past winter. That’s the stuff that gives you the chills in a good way.

This was one of those moments. Not celebratory but coming out of relief. Relief that they can finally tell the families of the victims, “We got the son of a bitch.”

One for the good guys.

Terry Francona ate his jersey number of popsicles in one night (he’s number 17)

UPDATE: He likes drumsticks too.

“I had 17 popsicles the other night. That’s not a lie. They’re those fruit ones – they’re healthy, so if one is good, 17 has to be good. I woke up in the middle of the night and, no ****, they were borderline coming up. But I was so tired that I just laid there for like an hour going, ‘Don’t throw up, don’t throw up, don’t throw up.’ I should have gotten up and threw up. And then I woke up in the morning and I was like, ‘Holy ****.’ I started counting sticks. They brought over nine boxes and there’s six in each box. There’s one box left. So I don’t know what I’m going to do tonight.”

So right away my mind jumped to freeze pops, which obviously led me to be less than impressed with Tito’s number here, because it’s a very basic fact that humans physically cannot eat less than 20 of those after their first bite. But the comment about six per box disproves the freeze pop theorem.

17 of these guys is a FEAT.

Rut ro. It’s just weird because Tito is usually so conscious of enjoying things in moderation.

KEEP THE CHIEF

Terrelle Pryor looks really good running Wide Receiver routes. I’m sold.

Yep. That works. That works for me. Already pre-ordered my Terrelle Pryor Browns jersey. Wonder what number he’s going to wear?

Obviously running routes shirtless against some random dude next to a high school stadium isn’t the same as going up against Pittsburgh or Baltimore… but he looked pretty good, right? I’m no football scout but he looked elusive and had more lateral quickness than what I remember. Maybe he’ll be effective running more than just straight line fade routes?

Yesterday on ESPN’s Highly Questionable, Dan Le Batard or Bomani Jones (forget which one) called Pryor once of those “1 percent athletes.” A guy who is 6’5, 235 lbs, and runs a 4.3 forty yard dash qualifies him to get that into that 1%… Just stupid athletic.
