Baylor's Cooper tired of coddling knife-wielding park visitors

In case you missed it, Baylor's Ashlee Cooper and a Baylor women's bball player got into a real brouhaha with another woman in a park, where Cooper allegedly punched the third woman in the face, after which kicking, punching, and all sorts of tom foolery ensued.

Isn't that a scene from "Sunday in the Park with George"? I distinctly remember Mandy Patinkin singing about "lady knife-wielders" somewhere in the second act.

Gotta wonder about this sequence of events, though:

During the argument, Cooper, of LaPlace, La., punched the woman in the face, and the victim allegedly pulled a knife to defend herself but then put it on the ground, the affidavit said. Darrett then jumped the woman, the affidavit said.

Ya think the woman realizes she really screwed up by dropping the knife? Seemed like kind of a bargaining chip, there.
