Minick police report: "he almost fell on his face,"
http://www.mlive.com/wolverines/index.ssf/2015/06/police_report_michigans_jim_mi.html
While going through sobriety tests on the westbound side of Airport Blvd., Minick could not walk a straight line and had trouble keeping balance. At one point, when Minick bent over to tie his shoe, "he almost fell on his face," according to the report.
"I had to hold him up so he didn't fall and hurt himself," Cole's report reads. "Minick advised he couldn't do the test sober. The test was stopped for Minick's safety."
At St. Joseph Hospital, Minick was repeatedly told to peacefully sit on a stretcher for his blood test, but continued to ask to use the restroom. Instead, he "continued to refuse lawful orders." He was ultimately "forcibly" pushed down onto the stretcher after security was called to assist.
Aside from everything else, if a guy has to piss let him piss, it's not going to effect the blood test. Instead they make it a power struggle that results in use of force by the sounds of this.

We fired Moeller because he assaulted a police officer while he was drunk.
I think Moeller ultimately was fired because the Southfield Police released an audiotape of a pathetically drunk Moeller to the press (not via FOIA, but because the officer liked MSU). It made him (and the school) look really bad, and Moeller got fired pretty quickly.
Which to this day I think is a damn shame. A good man who made a mistake that's less than Minick's. Moeller was arrested on disorderly conduct due to his behavior at Excalibur - he wasn't behind the wheel endangering the public.
(And I'm not drawing that comparison to call for Minick's head, BTW. It's more to underscore that Moeller's transgressions were pretty minor in the grand scheme of things.)
It's accurate, informative and insightful.
If he's coming off a Rose Bowl win things easily go a different direction. Same goes for Woody if he had beaten UM three times in a row instead of the other way around.
OSU firing Earl Bruce after 5 consecutive - IIRC- 9-3 seasons.
He got drunk either on a team flight or immediately after landing after a game in Indiana in the middle of his second season at USD (the team played in Indiana on Saturday and he was arrested in SD early Sunday). He ran a stop sign, got pulled over, and pled guilty to DUI. He didn't miss a game then. USD gave him a contract extension less than two months after the arrest. He got hired by Stanford just over a year after the arrest, less than a third of the way through his court ordered probation for that arrest.
Do those facts change things for you? Are you just as mad that Jim Harbaugh was allowed to not only keep his job, but continue to be hired for bigger and better positions? And if your opinion about Harbaugh is different, then bitching about Minick keeping his job is extremely hypocritical.
Harbaugh had his DUI almost 10 years ago. Few people were bothered by the Confederate battle flag ten years ago. These days, the expectations around sexual abuse, drunk driving, racism, etc. are far different than 10 years ago. Harbaugh hired a personal friend with no experience with athletic departments. Harbaugh did not interview candidates after posting the job. Such a hire gets one strike. If Harbaugh did the same thing over the 4th of July weekend, he would be fired.

I don't see anything wrong with lying to the cops in this situation.
THIS IS AN ABSOLUTE JOKE. PEOPLE STANDING BY THIS ASS-HAT
"if a guy has to piss let him piss"
Yeah, and then give him a citation for urinating in public. Or let him piss himself. If you can't drink and behave like a man, you can piss yourself like a toddler.
Even if there was any legitimacy to your insane macho position in the abstract, the guy was in a hospital. Your prescription should only take place in a hospital if you were the only person in the vicinity. The other 7 billion people on the planet don't want Minick or anyone else pissing on them, near them, or on the hospital floor when they're sick in the hospital...
*Honk*
Pretending bad things didn't happen doesn't make it so.

It sheds loft on exactly how bad or was.
It's very, very ugly and he needs to go.

Last I checked, he's being paid more and receiving more recognition due to his station. That deserves additional review as well
Makes total sense. By your logic the best employee I have should never have gotten a job at my company because he got caught selling drugs when he was 22.

Should we not have hired Harbaugh by the same moral logic? He has the same offense on his record.
Because the police report is ALWAYS 100% accurate. No cop has EVER exaggerated details on a report due to their POV or wanting to enhance the chances of getting a conviction...
sometimes it's outright lies (sad to say that) much more frequently it is sloppiness or incompetence. just saved a guy's bacon last week where the MSP videotape exonerated him - case dismissed. the cop was not being dishonest, probably a decent fella, but he screwed up and unless you knew what you were watching and knew the law, you'd have read the report and said, 'guilty'.
comment, only tatar's comment and the rejoinder about all police reports are not 100% accurate. reports can leave out incredibly critical facts and circs, they can be flat out dishonest (relatively rare, but unfortunately not unheard of), and they can be inaccurate. i know of what i speak, having read untold thousands of reports and having examined thousands of witnesses in hundreds of trials, including in about every type of homicide known to mankind.
as to this particular case, with the BAC so high and the report reading like it does, if you ask me do i think minncik was hammered my answer would be 'yes'. bad decision by that guy and i'm not sure i'd retain him if i was his employer at michigan. i'd have to put a lot of thought into that and know a lot more facts.
You must be a detective.
Was any of it denied by the person arrested?
restroom to piss, Just kidding!
Are you telling me he was drunk!!!???
this is acceptable...at rick's, skeeps, blue lep, etc.
