AP source: Police sent Ray Rice tape to NFL in April
Source: AP-Detroit Free Press
By Rob Maaddi
ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. A law enforcement official says he sent a video of Ray Rice punching his then-fiancee to an NFL executive three months ago, while league officers have insisted they didnt see the violent images until this week.
The person played The Associated Press a 12-second voicemail from an NFL office number on April 9 confirming the video arrived. A female voice expresses thanks and says: Youre right. Its terrible.
The official, speaking to the AP on condition of anonymity because of the ongoing investigation, says the NFL never followed up. The person cant confirm if anyone at the NFL watched the video.
The person said he shared the video which he was unauthorized to release because he wanted the NFL to have it before deciding on Rices punishment.

Actually - since when do police decide punishments anyway?
Seems to me it's more important to fire that person than anyone in the NFL right now, since the NFL isn't part of our legal system.

There must be something about owning a team that makes you evil.
