This is a new challenge the police have. In the old days they could deal with “repeat offenders” that they all knew about with “discretion” like they showed in this case. But that was when everybody just “believed the cops”. Thanks to cameras, we live in a different world. And with multiple witnesses at the scene that say they saw none of what the police describe the diseased doing, these cops may be in big trouble.
Even though a person may be a “known repeat offender”, it’s looking like the days of meting out “street justice” even when they were not caught red handed is a thing of the past.
Yep. Everyone with a cell phone camera is a citizen journalist today, and more and more officers wear body cams. Maybe these officers (with no body cams) were retaliating, just looking for a reason to stop him. Or maybe he really did what the officers claimed he did, but the witnesses didn’t catch everything on video. Who knows... Hopefully the truth (whatever it is) will prevail.
