The charges that were filed are not for breaking a cell phone.

(b) Subdivision (a) shall apply if the victim is or was one or
more of the following:

Obviously not. You misunderstood my point.
My Bruce Miller example is this - He was arrested for domestic violence, just like Darren Collison was. I'm sure it was probably the same charge. Once details came out and the investigation was complete, it turns out there wasnt any voilence at all, and it was just destruction of property (a cell phone).
So, obviously Darren was arrested for domestic violence. But my hope is that it is a mistake, and after the investigation has concluded, it was a misunderstanding and blown out of proportion.
We don't have the evidence yet, so all I can do is hope rather than immediately jump to the worst conclusion.

This is sad to hear. Obviously,my prayers are with all involved. I hope this turns out to be emotions running high and no physical harm done. If it turns out that Darren assaulted his lady then I hope he gets suspended. Right is right and wrong is wrong. Period. I'd say the same if he was a dreaded Laker or a celebrated King.
Given what has happend with athletes and domestic violence over the past few years a guilty verdict might result in a massive suspension with the NBA making an example out of DC after the NFL dropped the ball with its cases. Their was no guilty verdict in either of the high profile domestic abuse cases (Hardy,Ray Rice) and those guys still took a ton of heat, Rice never got another job.
According to this report Collison also charged two counts of driving with suspended license, not revoked. Just another reason to let all facts come out before jumping to conclusions.

My thought? This isn't TMC. We have no idea what actually happened. I would really ask everyone to err on the side of caution. So far, I'm very proud of our board for not acting like so many of the jerks on Twitter. Just use common sense, please, and remember he is innocent until proven guilty. Being arrested isn't the same as being convicted.
Having said that, it's within board parameters to discuss the potential this might have on the team, possible suspensions, etc.
