You are going to get slammed here. You are not allowed to be rational when it comes to the police.
Who WERE those other people that helped the cop?
Why, if it was all about the shirt, did those people help?
According to other links on this thread, this cop also killed his ex-wife’s husband by shooting him to death. And after beating that student on videotape, now the same cop is jailed on rape charges in another case.
There are two sides to every story, but there’s too much smoke around this cop for there not to be a fire.
