When are football players going to learn that once the police become involved the correct answer is.
"Yes sir"
"Sorry sir"
"Thank you sir"

That's what you get from that story, Debo? I see guys harassed for wearing baggy pants (the current style). Some cops will find any reason to harass someone.

I see:
According to the statement, when the officers asked the four to pull up their trousers, Bryant launched into a profanity-laced tirade that prompted the officers to escort the four from the mall.
Yes sir, sorry sir, thank you sir.

I didn't see "police" getting involved, I saw "officers working off-duty as security" at a mall. Whatever their day job, they were working as mall cops at the time, and I think it's a stretch to say that "police got involved" when a mall cop decides to enforce a dumbass mall dress code.

A different take on this.
Odd that he'd go back, personally, I'd never give my business to a place that treated me poorly.
North Park Mall is pretty snobbish in general, used to do some business with them, they were constantly harassing my workers that had visible tattoos.

The NFL lockout is clearly taking its toll on player finances. Less than a month in, and Bryant already can't afford a belt.

Mall has a dress code? Fancy Mall?
Also - Don't you hate pants?

Dress code in some Darwin, Australia, pubs:
No Shirt, No Shoes, No Service.
They're the fancy schmancy ones.

As the great American philosopher Kenny Chesney puts it, "No shirt...no shoes...no proble-e-e-e-emmmm"
