Obviously they did leave her stranded, they towed the car in which she was a passenger around midnight. I have a distrust of police in general. She may have thought she could get a ride, and couldn't. We have some really low life "rouge" cops here in Alabama.
Not to mention the catch and release of the perp, which contributed directly to the assault. Police are guilty and the judges are guilty, they can spin it all they want but they contributed to this assault.
What should they have done?
We have them all over. Currently, I am facing a 5 yr felony for driving my wife's car in which she had a 105 gram container of cs/pepper spray in the glove box--her dad gave it to her 22 years ago. In Michigan, the legal limit is 35 grams...little did we know.
I will never again be cooperative with Law Enforcement. The term protect and serve is now officially a fallacy IMHO...
