6th consecutive year that a defensive player has won this award. I agree with the decision 100%, by far our most dominant player in any position.

Here's an interview on NYJets.com

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Defensive tackle Sheldon Richardson was named Tuesday as the recipient of the Curtis Martin Team MVP Award, the New York Jets announced. The winner is determined by a vote of the players.

Richardson, who made headlines last week by comparing himself to Houston Texans star J.J. Watt, could receive another honor Tuesday night, when the Pro Bowl rosters are announced. He's the Jets' top candidate, with defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson and center Nick Mangold also considered strong candidates.

The Jets announced their other in-house awards:

Dennis Byrd Award (Most inspirational) -- Calvin Pace

Kyle Clifton Award (Good guy) -- Zach Sudfeld

Bill Hampton Award (Rookie who acts like a pro) -- Dakota Dozier

Marty Lyons Award (Community service) -- Kyle Wilson

Ed Block Courage -- Rontez Miles

Richardson deserves the award. Just hope his mouth doesn't get him in trouble in the coming years. Good to see Sudfeld and Dozier get an award for something, even if it isn't play. Sudfeld hasn't been on the field much, but he contributes when he is there.

Dozier was one of the few draft picks I liked, perhaps he will develop into something other then ballast

I would've thought Mangold would win...but typical Rex teams focus on D...not a bad choice just not my first choice

What exactly has Sheldon said that's got him in trouble?
Something about supporting the Ferguson protest.

Last I checked, that free speech amendment is still in that Constitution thing.

I think it's more about him being not afraid to speak up that will cause problems. He's very outspoken so early in his career. Wait until next year/contract time. If he doesn't get what he wants, you think he'll be quiet?

He could be a great player and I like what he brings to the table for this defense.

Free speech prevents the government from punishing a person. It does not prevent an employer from disciplining, or firing a person from making statements that the employer deems to be embarrassing, or detrimental to his business.

The Bill of Rights is intended to protect us from the government. Statutory, or civil law protects us from one another

I just hate when people especially many of these ignorant athletes speak about something they don't even have the facts on.

Particularly calling a cop a pig in such an inflammatory case. Guaranteed if he was a bubble player he would be out on the street right now

I wonder what Mangold thought of his comment.

HEBRON, KY — Police charged into a darkened field trying to arrest teenagers for consuming alcohol without government permission, and killed a young woman in the process.

Boone County Sheriff's Deputy Tyler Brockman Boone County Sheriff’s Deputy Tyler Brockman
The deadly raid occurred in the early morning hours of Saturday, April 26th, 2014. After witnessing “cars full of juveniles” and “hear[ing] loud music and people screaming,” Boone County Sheriff’s Deputy Tyler Brockman radioed for “several patrol cars for assistance, as it seem[ed] like a large party with underage drinking was going on,” according to an official report.

Deputies responded in force and attempted to surround the party, which was taking place on a rural road in Hebron, Kentucky.

As red and blue lights approached, the teens scrambled to escape the government agents. One girl, 19-year-old Samantha Ramsey, got behind the wheel of her 2001 white Subaru, along with 3 of her friends.

Dashcam video from a police cruiser depicted the moment Ms. Ramsey, who worked as a preschool teacher, tried to escape. As her car pulled onto the street, the teen passed Boone County Sheriff’s Deputy Tyler Brockman, who can be seen clearly standing to the side of her vehicle on the driver’s side. He was shining a flashlight at her and barking orders to stop.

“…after she kept moving is when the cop jumped on top of the car and he just opened fire.”
Intent on imprisoning the girl for her beverage consumption, Deputy Brockman confronted Ms. Ramsey and tried to position himself in the forward trajectory of the vehicle.

The vehicle slid out of view just as the deputy closed in on the driver’s window; Ms. Ramsey had not stopped her vehicle. There is some dispute about events that followed, but the confrontation ended when Deputy Brockman fired four shots through the windshield, fatally striking the teen.

The shooting itself occurred off-camera, but several of the young partygoers were filmed reacting hysterically to bloody encounter; flailing arms and crying. The victim’s car ended up in a ditch and a cloud of smoke billowed forth, along with a passenger who stumbled out and collapsed onto the road.

The incident occurred at 2:13 a.m., according to the timestamp on the video. Watch it below:



The shooting was viewed by multiple witnesses, who disputed the officer’s report, according to LEX-18 News:

“She stopped for a second, but then she kept moving and then after she kept moving is when the cop jumped on top of the car and he just opened fire,” said Ibrahim Komate, a witness to the shooting.

“She wasn’t even going fast she was just easing along and like he jumped on top of the car,” said witness Isiah Edwards.

“We were leaving the party and the cop approached right here. As he approached the girl was trying to leave the party, and she was trying to make a turn and leave the party, and he jumped on the car. Then pulled his gun out, shot four times through the window and hit the girl,” said Josh Pitts, who also witnessed the incident.

Ms. Ramsey was struck by four bullets to the chest, ripping through her liver, spleen, and heart, as well as both of her arms as she clutched the steering wheel.

The three passengers in the car managed to survive, although Ms. Ramsey, a recent high school graduate and aspiring teacher, did not.

FOLLOW-UP:

Deputy Tyler Brockman will not face any consequences for killing Samantha Ramsey. In November 2014, a grand jury issued him a “no bill” and effectively cleared him from legal responsibility for his actions.

Brockman claimed that Ms. Ramsey tried to run him over and that he was the victim. According to his version of events, he clung to the hood of Ms. Ramsey’s car in an attempt to enforce the law upon the fleeing suspect. In doing so, he feared for his life and had to open fire with his pistol.

“The shots were fired not only to save his life, but also the pedestrians walking on the road and the officers currently just down the road initiating other arrests,” the police report stated.

Although Deputy Brockman asserted that he “had no choice” but to kill the girl, it is evident that she would be alive had the police not arrived at the party in the first place. Samantha Ramsey’s untimely death was needless; her life was taken as collateral damage in the government’s overbearing control over a beverage. Fatalities like this are guaranteed when the law encourages armed enforcers to interject themselves incessantly into the lives of citizens.
