“Who cares if the kid gets off on it, the end result is: this monster cop won’t be trumping up false charges on anybody else anytime soon.”
First off, nobody trumped up charges on anyone. The officer threatened to and the kid called his BLUFF.
As long as the ends justify the means, huh? How very progressive of you.
I see this as a winning situation for everyone but the perp, who deserved what he got and should not be wearing a badge. If this were a gas station armed robbery and the perp got caught we would be applauding it. At a macro level this is no different.
Shew - talk about seeing reality completely in reverse.
