    Plaxico Burress gets forgotten about in NFL history. But he was truly one of the best WRs I've ever watched. He mad an unfortunate mistake that took his career in a different direction. Today we take a look back.

Look up the numbers. People like to cite the number when the policy started showing a drop but ignoring the years before also showing a dropping trend. This was simply security theater. The problem with this policy when your a New Yorker is they seemed to stop and frisk a select group of people and I don’t like being made to look like a criminal in public when I’m just minding my own business.

      couldn't agree more. Perfect assessment of the situation, man had no criminal record what so ever. But fucking Bloomberg's ego had to get involved because he was a celebrity and probably a black celebrity at that.
      Bloomberg the white billionaire cant even come close to relating to this man and what he has been through and why he carried a gun, And as a white guy who grew up in a rough situation, and also carried a gun for years even after I got out of there. I gotta say this if, Plaxico was white, and same history, same thing happened no fucking way Bloomberg turns this into the insane issue it was. So many of my friends (black) caught charges for the same shit I was doing but the cops wouldn't even look my way just focus in on them so many times dude.
      but Throwing 2 years away of this mans life who have never committed any crimes, pay's his taxes (even had the gun registered just not in NYC) but came from a tough background, and due to that felt the need to keep himself protected at all times, and accidentally shot himself. it was fucked up but nobody was harmed except himself, nor did he ever intend harm to anyone.
      should he have had repercussions ? Yes Like OP said supervised probation and I would bet a lot of goddamn money if Plaxico is white Bloomberg doesn't jump all over this like he did. fucking billionaire dumbass, doesn't know what the fuck its like to grow up scared everyday for your life, that shit leaves a mark on you for the rest of your life.

      @yossarian but after you do all the research and find out NO ONE was hurt (besides Plax) and the person in question has no criminal history, probation plus community service is the most logical outcome.
      Trying to over punish someone because they made a mistake is the biggest reason why so many young men and older men turn back to a life of crime when they're finally released from prison.

      I’m an old lady from NC but I do understand the laws are different in NYC. BUT common sense should be universal. Even a suspended sentence would probably have been enough once the DA is given the circumstances around the incident. Like you say, we like to say “what if” too much. If he had hurt someone else it would all be different. That is the law. But he didn’t. He wasn’t. If a small sentence would be enough to keep him from ever doing this again, so be it. But two years??? People who DO hurt others don’t get that!! Raw deal period.

Bloomberg knew that it would cost Burress millions of dollars. There was a better way to handle this case & ppl should never forget that the some of the same politicians who speak of social justice today once spoke just as forcefully for mass incarceration & aggressive law enforcement to gentrify entire communities. Even conservative minded prosecutors will tell you that Burress went to jail because he was famous.

      As a licensed concealed weapons carrier, the law was broken when Plaxico carried the firearm without proper permits and licensing from the state of New York. Also, you can’t carry a weapon AT ALL (even when licensed) if any BAC content is present. As they were at a night club, I’m assuming Plax had some alcohol in his system. So again, the law was broken when he carried the weapon without a concealed carry license and was armed in an alcoholic environment while engaging in drinking. The shot could have EASILY hit somebody else. Then we would not be debating murder charges.

    FlemLo Raps I don’t really comment on peoples channels really, but I love your channel I’m not a big football fan. I kinda fallow the game, never played. (Ran cross county and track (5k,10k) in college and post college for a few years) but your videos are amazingly and very in-depth. It’s motivating to hear some stories and both sad to watch some of these stories. Keep up the good work. Would be amazing to see you do some other sports due to the fact that you keep the viewer engaged, your a great story teller and you do your homework on players. Much love, Happy New Year.

    Punishment wise, all that’s necessary in this very specific situation was a fine. Given the fact that he was otherwise clean and generally a good guy, the injury and embarrassment was enough of a punishment. Also, I appreciate you going into detail when acknowledging that Glocks have several internal safety mechanisms, soooo many people rock with the “GlOcKs DoNt HaVe SaFtiEs” narrative. I already knew you go DEEP on your research, but that’s a small detail that shows you truly do not miss details. Very dope video and amazing story telling, as always.

If he made an honest mistake (just like anyone else could) the fair thing to do would be a fine and maybe community service (if your firearm is registered) and no violent crime/crime record. Even if you had an expired registration (which is extremely dumb), a first time non-violent offense should be treated as a warning and be corrected accordingly. This was overkill to the max and also why I don't have residence in a state where they are hell-bent on disarming the responsible public.

    2. He should have been made to do a series of PSAs about gun safety
    3. He should have been ordered to take and pass gun safety and concealed weapons classes.
    4. Community Service at local youth detention centers to speak against gun violence and possibly mentor a group of at risk kids.
