After watching the video he is damn lucky the cop showed tremendous restraint.
The guy is lucky to be alive.

So THIS. That first cop was very impressive in dealing with that situation, in all facets, including a smaller guy dealing with a Goliath like McDowell. Hell, sign the cop to a futures contract and get him in the Seahawks weightroom, he looks like a guy Tom Cable could turn into a decent offensive lineman. Oops, never mind. Too late. That and/or McDowell maybe wasn't going to be the pass rusher Pete thought.
Many asshats have been shot and killed for less in altercations with police. Cop tased him first, looked like it just pissed McD off rather than immobilizing him. Getting .18 BAC drunk and driving? STUPID. Coming after an armed cop? beyond STUPID. McDowell seems to be too stupid to stop and reflect (in a sober state) that he is lucky to even be above ground, alive, after that fiasco.
Concur with the conclusion he must have blown through nearly all his available cash to "purchase" a $74K truck off the street for $3,000. You can take the boy out of the hood...
It's ridiculous to compare Malik McD to Frank Clark in any way, shape, or form, at any point in their careers, regarding off-field stuff. Very, very different situations. Clark, as a college freshman IIRC, did stupid shit, accepted consequences, learned, repented, came back wiser, and went to work. Never, never, never did I ever see even one hint of Clark taking plays off, lacking effort, etc., at *any* point in his career. Clark got blown up and attacked by the media because he had the bad judgment to get mixed up with a psycho GF.
In fairness, agreed the head injury of McDowell's is a factor. He's lucky to be alive at all. Prison might be the safest place for McDowell for a while, seriously.
