And yeah you will come up with some other excuse probably. Like he had to do something else and couldn’t even hold the bag that long.
Why not bags and pens kept in uniform pocket, at least a couple.
This will waste much court time and raise needless scandal at the least. I don’t think we want to be excusing this.
Which is the whole reason the NYP is spreading it. Got to sell laundry detergent. Right now, police bias against 'blacks' is a key seller.
I don’t think we want to be excusing this.
I don't think it is wise to just swallow the crap you are being fed. Sure there are cases where the police are wrong/ exhibit racial bias, but this video evidence clearly shows the officer DISPLAYING the placing of the bag in the billfold to the other officer and suspect. There is nothing to gain, for the officer, in doing so. No one seems to even care to hear his explanation for why he did this IN PLAIN VIEW of the suspect and other officer.
This guy's lawyer thinks he can get the drug charge thrown based on the video. The part you have seen is edited.
Like Michael Brown and Trayvon Martin, don't let us PILE ON the COP because that is what the MEDIA is telling you to do.
At worst, this police officer is guilty of mishandling evidence, and it could be thrown out in court. The perp is still charged with felony hit and run, high speed chase to escape the police, etc., etc.
