Longer video shows Rice, Palmer yelling obscenities at each other

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J. -- Ray Rice and Janay Palmer can be heard shouting obscenities at each other, and she appears to spit in the face of the three-time Pro Bowl running back right before he throws a brutal punch in a video shown to The Associated Press by a law enforcement official.

The video, shown to the AP Monday night, includes audio and is longer than the grainy TMZ Sports video released earlier that day. After the TMZ video made its way around the Internet, the Baltimore Ravens cut Rice and the league suspended him indefinitely. Rice was originally suspended for two games and coaches and others had praised his behavior since the arrest for striking his then-fiancee in February.

The videos show Rice and Palmer in an elevator at an Atlantic City casino. Each hits the other before Rice knocks Palmer off her feet and into a railing. Months ago, a TMZ video showed Rice dragging Palmer, now his wife, from the elevator at the Revel casino, which closed on Sept. 2.


The higher-quality video shown to the AP shows Rice made no attempt to cover up the incident. After Palmer collapses, he drags her out of the elevator and is met by some hotel staff. One of them can be heard saying, "She's drunk, right?" And then, "No cops." But Rice didn't respond.

The video was shown to the AP on condition of anonymity because the official isn't authorized to release it.


Coach John Harbaugh said he met with Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti, team president dikk Cass and general manager Ozzie Newsome after they saw the TMZ video, and they made the decision to let Rice go.

"It's something we saw for the first time today, all of us," Harbaugh said. "It changed things, of course. It made things a little bit different."

The action represented a complete reversal for the team, even though an Atlantic City police summons stated that Rice caused "bodily injury to Janay Palmer, specifically by striking her with his hand, rendering her unconscious."

The Ravens had used words like "respect" and "proud" in referring to Rice following his arrest.

When the NFL announced Rice's two-game suspension for domestic violence on July 24, Newsome said: "We respect the efforts Ray has made to become the best partner and father he can be. That night was not typical of the Ray Rice we know and respect. We believe that he will not let that one night define who he is, and he is determined to make sure something like this never happens again.

Asked Monday night if Rice misled him, Harbaugh said he didn't want to get into "all that."

"I don't think of it that way. Everything I said in terms of what I believe, I stand by," he said. "I believe that still, and I'll always believe those things, and (we'll) always stand in support of them as a couple, and that's not going to change."

Rice said in a news conference this summer that his actions that night were "inexcusable." But the Ravens never took action against him until after the second video was released.

The NFL, which has been working hard to promote the game to women, also took action after the explicit video was released. Commissioner Roger Goodell announced that, based on the new video evidence, Rice has been suspended indefinitely.

"We requested from law enforcement any and all information about the incident, including the video from inside the elevator," NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said Monday morning. "That video was not made available to us and no one in our office has seen it until today."

Rice's lawyer, Michael Diamondstein, declined to comment when contacted by The Associated Press.

Rice, 27, stood to make $4 million this year.

"Obviously, any video that depicts an act of violence in that video is disturbing to watch. For our union, we have an unshakable position against any violence, certainly domestic violence included," NFLPA executive director DeMaurice Smith said at the Seahawks' facility in Renton, Washington. "It will be a time for us now to catch up with everything else that has occurred today."

He had been charged with felony aggravated assault in the case, but in May he was accepted into a pretrial intervention program that allowed him to avoid jail time and could lead to the charge being purged from his record.

After Goodell drew criticism not being tough enough on Rice, he wrote a letter to all 32 NFL owners in August saying he "didn't get it right."

First-time offenders now face a six-game suspension.

Rice began his suspension Sunday, when the Ravens opened their season with a 23-16 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. He was scheduled to return after Thursday night's game against Pittsburgh.

He leaves the Ravens as the second-leading rusher in franchise history, behind only Jamal Lewis. A three-time Pro Bowl selection, Rice is the team's career leader in total yards from scrimmage (9,214) and is the only player in Ravens history to rush for 1,000 yards in four consecutive seasons.

But those are mere numbers, and his actions in that elevator shed a new light on him.

"I'm not going to go into what he told us or anything or if it matches or if it doesn't," Ravens receiver Torrey Smith said. "That doesn't matter. What matters is what you see. It wasn't a pleasant sight at all."

Rice hasn't spoken often to the media since his arrest, but on July 31 he said this is "something I have to live with the rest of my life."

He added: "I know that's not who I am as a man. ... I let so many people down because of 30 seconds of my life that I know I can't take back."

I am listening to Morning Joe and Fox News this morning and I am

Really I am tired of the media using this case as the most reprehensible domestic violence case they ever saw.

This is usually how domestic violence cases goes down, you have the man and the woman spitting at eachother, physically and verbally abusing eachother. Then the man just loses it and crosses the line and hit the woman with a haymaker and then he usually goes to jail. (deservingly so, people should not put their hands on eachother)



Now that the wife is sticking up for her husband, they are treating her like some broken victim who is terrified of her husband, This shyt is comical, how the media can shift public opinion to fit their agenda.


The media just completely ignore the fact that the wife had some culpability in this as well. They don't talk about that she was arrested along with Ray Rice for simple assault that night.

The media is acting like the man punched and kicked the woman again after she fell and she didn't do anything beforehand that night to add to the situation.


Anybody who looks at this situation objectively is condoning domestic violence.

Never with these domestic violence cases, you hear that no one should be putting their hands on each other, because things can escalate real quick (i.e. the man knocking you out). Stephen A. Smith got crucified when he used a poor choice of words and tried to say this.

It was a disgusting incident, and they both should be ashamed of themselves. AND THEY BOTH NEED HELP AND I HOPE THEY ARE BOTH SEEKING IT.

The media wants this man to go to prison for a long time and are saying the Atlantic City Prosecutor screwed up, but Ray Rice is a first time offender and they probably know that there was extenuating circumstances like the wife hitting, cursing and spitting at him to cause him to throw that haymaker
. I would understand throwing the book at him if he was a repeat offender but he is not.

But ultimately the NFL dropped the ball on this. If they would have suspended him 6 games to 8 games which he deserved, there would not have been such a fall out. I doubt that Ravens even terminate his contract. I doubt that Ray Rice would be public enemy number one,

Now Ray Rice who made a mistake which any reasonable person in the heat of passion could have made. This seems to be overkill suspending him indefinitely and the media treating him like he is the second coming of Adolf Hitler is just .

 

[BedRoomI'z]

And this is based on what? You don't know her so like I said... Your logic/reasoning is based on your OWN perception of money. You assume every bytch will take beat downs just to be with a nikka with money. Ignore the fact that she has a college degree. Ignore the fact that if she wanted she could leave and profit from the situation. Ignore the fact that she has already become an instant celebrity unwillingly and could have flipped it into reality shows, interviews ect.

People assumed that bytch that recorded Donald Sterling leaked the tapes for fame and money. Where is she now? She HID her face from the paparazzi. Just because YOU value money in such away doesn't mean everyone does. You don't know her financial situation neither and you don't know how Ray Rice finances look. You're trying to make your perception HER reality when at the end of the day you just another nikka with an opinion which don't mean shyt and will get lost in a pool of opinions that every swinging dikk and split tail has.

You wrote all of that to tell me something I already knew
What all of us have? Opinions..

Just because you said all that does not make your points
any more or less dramatic than anyone else's, including mines.

All I'm saying when he still part of the NFL, she was silent.

Stop caping for her just cause you caught a glimpse
of her ass on that elevator. Keep it 100!

If she was threw punches & spat in his face why wouldn't they release the video? I call bullshyt

I have no idea why. But a full video could definitely paint a different story.

That TMZ one looks like they only caught it towards the end.

It is not entirely bullshyt because The police had probable cause to arrest both the wife and Ray Rice for simple assault that night.

 

[CrimsonTider]

Inn 2010 win Vick had that great season with the eagles. He was comeback player of the year. Second in the MVP race and won player of the year

No one was chastising Vick or brining up the dogs. Everyone was talking about redemption

All people do is site those stupid " most hated player list" and use that to fuel their argument that white people still hate Vick

 

[tmonster]

The NFL didn't punish a CAC Wide Receiver that was on video saying he was going to commit a hate crime against a group of black people.

That's an equivalent situation?

 

[Diddly Drogba]

Does jay-z suffer from battered men's syndrome, he forgave solange and excused her behavior?

 

[Truality]

she stays with him tho for status and money

shes a dumb bytch

[DemureNatural]

Them nikkas dumb as shyt. I been lurkin' just to see the reaction and I see these nikkas name in EVERY SINGLE RAY RICE/ABUSE THREAD talking about they don't care. STFU you attention whores and log off then.

I spoke to my father yesterday and his words verbatim, "RR is a bytch a$$ nikka". Every man should feel like that.

I'm against domestic violence, no matter the sex of the perp...but what RR did, is disgusting. His wife can make the choice to stand by her man, but please don't try to convince myself or other women that what is displayed on that tape is an expression of love.
In just a few short years, his daughter will be able to google her father and the first thing she'll see is that video.

 

[DemureNatural]

Where are their family members? Where they at the press conference?.... What does his mother or father say? What does her mom or pops say?.....

Isolation from family is a red flag...

There are photos from the initial press conference where her father is hugging RR...That solidified the fact that at the very least, her family was in it for the money.

My father wouldn't stand for that. My heart breaks for women who don't have that kind of love in their lives.
