You obviously didn’t watch the video. He was in the same room as the cop. They were both behind a locked gate.
Hmmmm ..?? I’ve never seen a holding cell where the cop is in it with the perp.
You’re right I didn’t watch the video .. I’m doing research for a book, and I was just checking the latest news.
But, even if they were in the same room - I believe the kid would have been in handcuffs .. and that certainly would have restrained him from being able to help the cop .. and besides, if you’re the perp, you don’t want to be anywhere near the guy .. just so you won’t be accused of doing something to him.
