And one police officer in his report writes: Witness:
Once he was outside of the auditorium he became very upset at the thought of taking the elevator. As a result of this he was walked down the stairs to the lobby of the University Auditorium. As he was walking down the stairs he stated, "People know I am here. You can't kill me."
While his colleague in his report on the same incident writes:
As the man was escorted down stairs with no cameras in sight, he remained quiet, but once the cameras made their way down stairs he started screaming and yelling again. Some of the comments that the man made were
"You can't kill me.", "They are giving me to the government." and "They are going to kill me."
I must admit I have a problem with a police officer trying to be an officer of the peace and part time judge as well in attempting to link the presence of cameras with this kids action as in cause and effect: "but once the cameras made their way down.....". Now he may be right, but that is not his job. Where his colleague on the other hand keeps his own personal opinions out of his statement. |
I am totally confused. The video's of him downstairs show him shouting "they are going to kill me" or similar. So?
And one of the things usually documented in arrest reports is the suspect's behavior. If that's the way the police saw it, it may have been an obvious difference between night and day. This is not being a "part time judge". This is being a witness, submitting testimony of the event.

In "wimpy" I am referring to Kerry's statement where he doesn't have the balls to question, condone, denounce, give insight, comment on, justify - hell anything man other than political speak lest he offend someone.

Here you are raving about police being judgemental, when you want Kerry to be judgemental and you're not doing to bad yourself for one who wasn't there and can only see what the rest of us can on these videos, which still appear to be inconclusive on their own.
Judgemental indeed.
