Its not at all about guesses. The civilain review board watched the footage and confirmed they hit the teenager they were chasing with their cop car, held several unrelated teens at gunpoint, and arrested those unrelated teens unjustifiably. They then recommended the harshest action possible.
The NYPD hand waived it away for 4 of 5 cops, with the 5th only receiving any action because of “swearing.”
How is officially released records about civil rights violations the reporter and his family personally witnessed “a guess?”
We know why the police won’t release the footage. It’s because it proves they act unlawfully. The authors experience, that the article explains in full, explains the “leading question.”
This dude is just a pro-cop troll.
