Still trying to get details. Sounds kind of like someone called them a bunch of N's and he proceeded to be punched in the face. An off duty cop who was drinking at the bar jumped in to break it up and got knocked out as well. 2 are charged a few more were involved.

I don't think Dooley is gonna put up with that. I look for scholarships to be taken away and expulsions to take place in pretty short order. I don't care if the "N" word was used. That is no reason at all for a police officer to be beaten. These little ****-ants need to go to jail and I mean directly to jail for that.
No police officer was beaten. An off duty cop got his ass kicked but he wasn't acting as a cop. So that's not beating a police officer. The cop that was "hit" was hit in the face with Miles' elbow while he was trying to pull away from him and run. That's Miles' second screw up so it wouldn't shock me to see him gone.

Dooley's statement just released. Miles is gone.
HEAD COACH DEREK DOOLEY STATEMENT ON JULY 9 INCIDENT
It is a privilege, not a right, to be a member of the University of Tennessee football team. The most important responsibility of that privilege is to properly represent this institution and our supporters on and off the field.
I am disappointed and in many ways embarrassed by the poor judgment displayed on many fronts by several members of our football team last night.
Although we are still gathering all the facts and some legal proceedings will follow, we have taken some initial levels of discipline resulting from my conversations with the student-athletes who were present.
Darren Myles has been permanently dismissed from our football program. Marlon Walls and Greg King have been indefinitely suspended.
I am respectful of the process that follows with the local authorities and with our institutional guidelines and leadership.
As I have referenced on many occasions, a change in culture is achieved in time through a combination of education, discipline and support. We will aggressively continue to build on the many positive changes that have occurred over the last five months to ensure our program is represented with class and dignity.
"There he goes, one of Gods own prototypes. Some kind of high powered mutant never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die"
It will work out , in the long run.
We'll keep the lights on for you.
