125. That's a very nice narrative

Feb 2014

You tell me how the real world works and then go on tell me this story on what the DA did. And you this how?

But let's back up.

We have a story of a cop breaking a child's leg because the child was filming the officer conduct warrant business. Ok, that's about the most egregious act one can imagine. He maliciously injured a child. What tops that? Who can defend that right?

So we're given the account reduced to one sentence from a report that another news agency saw the complaint. Really? Is that really enough to go on? So friggin slam dunk and that's all we get. Nothing in the Root report explains the sequence of the events of the actually brutality. I'm not saying the kids leg isn't broken. I'm not saying the cop didn't do it. I'm just saying there has to be more to the story.

If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. Not the first time. And when I'm wrong on DU, I fess up about it. It's cool.

So, do me a solid and throttle back on the whole 'want to see the woman guilty' thing. You don't know me and don't know how silly that is. K?
