It’s been almost two weeks since Bills running back LeSean McCoy was allegedly involved in a bar fight with two off-duty police officers in Philadelphia. No arrests have been made and no charges have been brought against McCoy or anyone else.
John McNesby, president of the Philadelphia Fraternal Order of Police, said earlier this week that Philadelphia District Attorney R. Seth Williams was “overthinking” his investigation into the incident and needs to “just move on with it.”

Williams responded with a statement Friday explaining that he plans to take all the time he needs.
"I understand that people are interested in the outcome of our investigation, but we're not going to rush because some people are impatient,” the statement read (via The Buffalo News). “My only goal is to get it right, not fast. The last thing we need is a rush to judgment. ... I'm only going to operate on one timeline: The timeline that ends when all of the evidence is collected, has been reviewed and I have made the decision to charge or not charge a case."
McNesby said the prolonged nature of the investigation shows “absolute disrespect to Philadelphia police officers” and that he has "never waited this long, ever, to see somebody arrested” in more than 4,500 felony arrests he’s been involved with during his career.
