I’m in the camp that says when police find probable cause and file charges it should be respected.
Instead we have the Trump campaign essentially saying the police acted stupidly.
Most of the confusion here is because most people did not actually hear and see the prosecutors press conference. In Florida unwanted touching can be charged by the police and they did. The prosecutor then decides if the charges should be dropped or go forward depending on whether they feel they can get a conviction. The prosecutor knew he could not get a conviction because Fields also touched Trump when she invaded his protective bubble after the reporters had been ordered to go to the back of the room. The prosecutors also said that when Fields did not follow instructions and actually reached out and touched Trump’s arm then Corey had a right to do what he did to separate her from Trump. They cant get a conviction on a charge of unwanted touching when the other person also did the exact same thing.
Just like the made up charges against Tom Delay, right?
