Provide proof that this is really the police report.

That's real simple.

Who wrote it? Who released it? Was it legal for them to do that? If they broke the law in releasing it, what value does it have? If they released it without approval then they broke a much bigger law than Gibson is alleged to have broken, so who will you believe? Who will a jury believe?

Those really are simple questions.

If you don't understand that then we don't have a basis for a reasonable discussion.

So far what I see could be the fantasy of a person who really really hates Mel Gibson. Whether that be the alleged officer who wrote this (not established as fact) or the miscreant who faked it.

Did he do this and say these things? Right now, that's not the question for me. For me the question is is there any evidence that can be taken into a court of law on this topic? I can't determine that so far.

Since Mel Gibson made it a point to apologize for saying it, he likely said it, wouldn't you think? Why apologize for something you DIDN'T say?

Yes, those are really simple questions. No one has challenged the authenticity or handwriting on the report, as far as I know. I've worked where issuing copies of police reports was legal and even compulsory (so people could get them before the mafia messed with them, for one).

Again, as stated earlier, I'm not an attorney...
