In 1994 I had a friend raped and murdered by a man with a fake badge, a fake police light bar on his car and unfortunately, a real gun.

That is unfortunate. So your point, I guess, is that every American is free to drive away from a police stop because of the one in 10 million chance the cop is an impersonator? By the way, we are assuming that her version of events is the accurate version of events. But all of these stories always exclude information that is exculpatory towards the police officer. In the one video, I hear the woman shout “I know my rights.” That doesn’t sound like a concern that the officer is an impersonator.
I suspect that the prosecutor figured that the officer was too rough with her during the arrest and just decided to let the case go. I have no issue with the decision to drop the case. But I do take issue with these obstinate people who think they can just disregard the lawful orders of police officers.
He could have shown her his badge or ID card when she asked for it.
Straw man arguments are not appreciated nor welcome. The alleged cop was not wearing a uniform, was in an unmarked car, and refused to produce ID, which is far from the “what you’re saying is” statement.
Did you miss the part where she was MURDERED? The guy went on to rape several more, murdering some before the real police caught him.
I’ve got friends that are city PD, state troopers and a sheriff’s deputy or two so I’m not anti-cop. If the ‘patrol officer’ refuses to show ID, as this woman alledges, maybe it’s because he’s not really a cop.
