THAT IS A POLICE ISSUE.
IF YOU ARE AWARE OF A CRIME YOU MUST REPORT IT TO THE CORRECT AUTHORITIES.
YOU DO NOT HUDDLE WITH YOUR “BOYS” and decide what is good for the group.
Or are you saying that I can do that with my personal discretion if I saw one of YOUR family members being attacked.... (Oh that wasn’t sexual assault that guy just accidentally grabbed her breast on the subway.. I’ll just ignore it).
First of all. That young guy who saw the action should have gone directly to the police immediately. I can’t believe he is being looked at as some sort of Saint. He was wrong in the first place. Secondly, we have know idea what he said to Joe. I mean rumors fly around a lot. Had Joe witnessed the assault and only went to his superiors, then I would be disgusted with Joe for sure. But he took secondary information to his superiors. Heck in a court Joe could not even use this information as second hand information. The judge would throw it out.
