"So let me get this straight, five police officers assault a man at a funeral with outstanding warrants.
The man allegedly spits on the officers. This claim is not fact checked with any non-police source. The reporter takes the word of the police chief who was not there, and does not use the word ‘allegedly’ to cover the fact he has no independent verification of this fact.
The man is charged four crimes, one of them a felony.
The police officers will be arbitrarily disciplined as the chief sees fit.
Sounds like “justice” to me."
