    Fucking nuts. There was NEVER a reasonable reason to detain him. Crashing into someone’s house does not give you reasonable suspicion for an investigation. That’s not how it fucking works. I don’t understand why the prosecutor would even want to touch these bullshit charges.

      Seems like if the owners are guilty of anything worthy of arrest, the pigs are guilty of property damage, assault and battery, attempted murder (all these add “with a deadly weapon” for the fact that they’re armed and a 2000lb metal box is certainly deadly) , reckless driving, and a litany of other crimes that should land them in prison with life-crippling fines.

        Attempted murder is an insane stretch and it devalues your whole comment.

                I don’t trust them either, and I have plenty of personal experience to back that. Experience going back decades, when they were far worse.

                Back to attempted murder, that’s ludicrous. Cop fucked up and crashed, for whatever reason. They try to get away from responsibility by raising a fuss. Been there, done that. I can tell stories all night.

            So if I decide to crash into a tree, do I get charged with attempted murder?

            Even in cases of reckless driving, the charge is manslaughter, proving murder is gonna be hard unless there’s evidence of premeditation

          Cops shoot people driving cars and claim it was for officer safety because the person could have run them over all the time.

            How is that in any way relevant?

            The officers crashed into a building, nobody started shooting ever in this case.
