How are you going to prove that the owner wasn’t driving the car when you show up several hours later to talk to him?Because the neighbors saw him? And don't hate the cops because the asinine "stop snitching" mentality doesn't exist because the cops actually behave?
Much of the failure of American criminal justice is due to the fact that the police act like an occupation force and are patently incapable of protecting the citizens they are supposed to serve.
The bootlicker mentality seems to be "I know if we let the cops act even more violent and violate our civil rights even more, then things will get safer!".
How did the cop act violently in this case?
