“(There are parts of the video where Officer Gardner is speaking to Mr. Massey and we can’t hear what is being said due to traffic noise. Officer Gardner may have told Mr. Massey that if he didn’t sign, he was going to take him in.”
Gardner may not have said anything like that and to suggest otherwise is pure speculation. I seem to remember something about being innocent until proven guilty written in some document or law or something.
The cop handled this entire situation very very poorly from the beginning.
“Gardner may not have said anything like that and to suggest otherwise is pure speculation.”
I stated that it was speculation. Gardner may not have said those words, then again, he may have. I asked “would it change your opinion of the case, if he had”.
Something which you conveniently have ignored in Officer Gardner’s case.
How many, (were you included?) condemned Officer Gardner?
How many declared him GUILTY and stated flatly that he should be fired?
And all that was BEFORE the case (the speeding and the lawsuit) went to court.
Officer Gardner was exonerated by his superiors.
What IF Officer Gardner DID make that statement? Would it change your opinion of the case?
“The cop handled this entire situation very very poorly from the beginning.”
What would you have done different?
