Butt slap leads to arrest warrant of Odell Beckham Jr

[Auggie]

New Orleans police on Thursday issued an arrest warrant for Cleveland Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. on a complaint of simple battery.

Video surfaced this week showing Beckham slapping the buttocks of a Superdome security guard in the LSU locker room after the Tigers' national championship victory over Clemson on Monday in New Orleans.

According to records obtained by NOLA.com, the security guard had been telling LSU players to put out cigars in the locker room before he was slapped.

Louisiana statute defines simple battery as battery committed without the consent of the victim. Punishment in Louisiana can include a fine of no more than $1,000 and imprisonment for no more than six months, or both.

BULLSHIT. Pure racist bullshit. And WTF is a security guard doing policing a winning teams' locker room? Cigars are a problem? Seriously?

This is racial harassment, pure and simple.

4. Smoking is prohibited in the Superdome.

Surely you don’t want the people in the locker room exposed to second hand smoke.
