“The officer was wrong. The DA is right to charge the officer, but he is not right to criticize the officer for doing his job.”
Pretty much my thoughts at this point. I watched the camera footage several times on youtube, and it looks like a bad shoot to me. But the prior stop itself appeared to be perfectly legitimate. And it was just plain unprofessional (though likely politically expedient) for the DA to use the language he did.
I agree on the points you touched on. Thanks for the response. I appreciate it.
