lucianne has a story up that one cop involved has already said it was an illegal arrest, so you know some of the principals in this case are going to get charges negotiated, but someone or more will pay the price. It will be a rat fest between them, because they are probably guilty as sin, especially when they fail to out bad practices. Just sayin’.
They’re stupid if they’ve covered illegal or dangerous behavior by another fellow officer or officers, especially in light of the fact that those officers committing the offenses put you, and every other officer’s safety in jeopardy.
Yes, it looks like the knife charge was not justified.
