Mike Vick Conspiracy Theories Grow Legs as Police Erase Video

The story that won't go away just took another interesting turn. Police in South Florida have erased the videotape of Mike Vick involved in a Jan. 17 altercation at the Miami-Dade International Airport.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution filed an open-records request the following day and were told to wait while the investigation was pending. When the State's Attorney's office announced on Jan. 22 that no charges would be filed, the AJC renewed its request for the video.

"Oops," the cops replied. "We erased it. Our bad. Sorry 'bout that."

Needless to say, the whole thing stinks. First Miami cops say this thing is going to take weeks -- they're busy chasing murderers and rapists. Then the whole thing is adjudicated within four days and material evidence is sent to the shredder.

If I'm living in Miami, I'm checking to see if police cruisers are sporting new tires next week.
