Even though the NFL was unable or unwilling to obtain video footage of Ray Rice punching his wife in the face, the Associated Press had no problem doing it.
The AP’s copy shows the beginning of the nasty confrontation between the former Ravens running back and his then-fiancee Janay Palmer.
The extended video included audio, and Rice and Palmer could be heard shouting obscenities at each other in the casino. She appeared to have spit at him.
The video showed Rice dragging Palmer out of the hotel, and staff members at the now-closed Revel casino saying “She’s drunk, right?”
Casino workers acted as if they already knew not to contact the authorities as well. One worker can be heard yelling, “no cops” right?
