Would you be "feigning" innocence when you learned that about a third had prior records of some sort, some going back to stupid things done during their stupid yutes, such as my OWN criminal record?
To call the arrest and incarceration for weeks on million-dollar bail of 177 people, two thirds with ZIP criminal history, "overly zealous LEO reaction," is PATHETIC rationalization on your part.
You can't handle the truth.
You asked me to explain why it happened and I gave you my opinion. That isn't the same as justifying it.
How do you explain it?
