While it’s true that many Asian men look younger than they actually are, the officer in question was contacted by a woman who informed him that the boy attended the same school as her daughter. He chose not to believe her and did not follow up.
Now this I don’t remember reading. I do remember reading that “a woman” had reported the “man” in the street, naked and bleeding. I never remember reading that she said he “attended the same school as her daughter”. What gets me is that he is naked, bleeding and appears drunk or under the influence and they don’t call EMS for medical help. Never mind checking for ID’s and all that. It would seem to me that someone, anyone in this state need to be in an ambulance! I never read that an ambulance was called for, and that bothers me the most.
