No doubt encouraged by the idiot POS Chief of Police’s comments that it was his fault for not accepting his beating. Some scumbag lawyer will use it in their defense... count on it.
The police chief should be canned for making comments that compromised a case.
I live here....the same area where the guy is being brought to trial for firing his gun at a fleeing robber who just stole his van...ONE SHOT...sure, it killed the robber but that’s just the lucky side benefit....
