I disagree. I didn’t prematurely judge by indicating that there was more to the story. By “judging”, I was referring to the guilt or innocence of the arrest guy and the guilt or innocence of the police department. Since this article ONLY gives the perspective of the arrested guy then by default, we have not been given the FULL story.
Where is the arrest record or comments by the police department beyond the actual arrest charge? Therefore, my statement that we do not have all of the story is correct and I still have not judged who was wrong in this encounter.
Officers have been known to embelish what they put in the report. The words they use under oath are sworn testimony. Officers have been known to back down on statements in the report when it comes to court.
Either they lie under oath or they lie in their signed reports.
I have to go with the testimony in court over paperwork.
