And it is interesting, that apart from the video which they failed to collect, you don't think the testimony of the one who called the police would have made any difference. Even if thirty people had witnessed and attested on your behalf, that it could not be objectively assessed, and useless towards your case.
Keep in mind, that I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt, based on just one testimony which only briefly described the event.
Correct. In the case I described, not only would the passerby's testimony have been unsupportive, but so would mine as an earwitness - absent any other evidence. That the police never bothered to take either of our statements at all is one point of the issue we're contesting. I know Shell and I know that bastard, and I know what he's done in the past. The police don't, at least at this level.
Okay. You were one of the attending officers. You see one young woman in pain and distress, with bruising apparent. She says she's been assaulted. You see an older man with three friends, all swearing that it was reasonable force, self-defence etc. You personally know none of these people. Who is telling the truth?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
