I read the same police report that was posted on the NET.

I've written enough of them so I know how to read between the lines.

Needs repeating.

Mat 6:14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:
15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

G'night all.

I get it now. Reading more into it than was actually in the text. As the cops in our family would say, 'not a good idea'.

See y'all next week.

Tony, I have written lots of police reports as well. Funny thing is, I wrote what actually happened, and didn't expect anyone to read between the lines.

You lose cases if you write in code.

If it isn't written, it didn't happen remember? That's the way police and EMS reports are written here. That's the way I have always taught my police and EMS students to write as well.

I don't know many police officers who don't write exact facts.

In my reading of that police report, combined with the teensy little sentence he got, there wasn't much too it. The judge apparently didn't see it as a big deal. The anger management courses have become standard for any sort of assault, even for those who don't normally have problems with anger.

Netizen is right, it has been grossly exaggerated around here.
