Except he agreed to lesser charges of disorderly conduct...PLUS, in the audio of the interview, Craig said he was picking up a piece of toilet paper, not just a piece of paper. I don't know about you, but most people I know don't go around picking up TP on the floor of public restrooms.
Everyone can dance around this rediculous event all day long, but the bottom line is his constituents are furious with him, (myself included) and we don't expect our congress critters to be implicated in such a disgusting behavior.
I ain't buying the cop made it up.
Well pardon me but when a man drops his trousers to sit {I assume he does drop them}, and then looks down and sees a piece of paper, they did not say toilet paper, might he think “Oh my, what fell out of my pocket”.
And as to disgusting,,disgusting is in the eye of the beholder. He brushes his sshoe against anothers,,or at least the cop says that. he says he doesn’t know whose shoe hit the others. He picks up paper.
No words, no solicitation, no vulgar noises, nothing.
Frankly this thread has alot more disgusting things on it than this.
I don’t know about the cop making it up. But there he was in his stall looking for a perv and he interprets actions as a come on because he is looking for it. That is a whole lot more likely. Sort of like witchhunting used to be.
Of course. I didn't notice this detail. Clearly these are the words of a criminal.
Except he agreed to lesser charges of disorderly conduct...
I didn't know this, either. I'm even more convinced that he's being railroaded now, knowing what I know about being persuaded to plead to lesser charges "or we can't really say what will happen to you..."
The cops will not admit an error. Coercing someone to plead is standard operating procedure. It's also a one of the ways the state makes money.
I wish it weren't so, I wish things didn't work that way, but they do. Pleading to a lesser charge is not an admission of guilt.
