Can you please cite some source to this claim neohippie Aug 2016 #88

Is not a fabrication in this particular context, a lie? LanternWaste Aug 2016 #96

Lies were told where is the evidence that any swimmer lied to the police directly neohippie Aug 2016 #107

It IS ROBBERY by the "guard," whose 3 minutes on the tape is edited out. Pointing a gun and anneboleyn Aug 2016 #114

There's no evidence the guard demanded money Tempest Aug 2016 #117

Would that situation be legal in US? LisaL Aug 2016 #141

Absolutely not legal -- it is extortion for an "official" to hold someone at gunpoint and demand $$$ anneboleyn Aug 2016 #145

A gun pointed at you isn't a threat? Holding their hands up in the air doesn't imply a threat? anneboleyn Aug 2016 #146
