First Drip (9/18/14): Greg Hardy to sit out of games and practices, Australia thwarts ISIL plans, more

Panthers defensive end Greg Hardy will sit out of games and practices pending the outcome of an investigation into domestic violence allegations. But don't worry; he'll be paid close to $7 million over the next two months to avoid the team.

The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department says it's pulling back the curtain. "Community activists have been promised a full look at how CMPD operates, officer training, rules governing the use of force and other issues. Lord does not expect they will always like what they hear."

Scots are heading to 5,579 polling stations around their country to determine whether they should declare their independence from the U.K. Since about 97 percent of the electorate is registered to vote (!!) and this is arguably one of the most important decision the country has made, democratically speaking, it's expected to be a busy day.

Australian police say they have thwarted an ISIL terrorist plot in which members of the group were planning to walk around the streets of Sydney beheading at random. Fourteen have been arrested in connection to the case.
