Fine, I’ll assume that that’s correct and that Freddie indeed had an illegal knife just for arguments sake. Not believing it was illegal until I see it or there is a legal judgement on it.
Congratulations, the charges of kidnapping (illegal arrest) are dropped.
Now, what about the fact that they took him into custody alive, and he arrived at the hospital essentially dead all while shackled and in the back of a van.
What possible excuse can you have to claim that’s not suspicious and doesn’t need further investigation?
Further investigation is fine. Charging the black policeman who drove the van with second-degree depraved-heart murder is hard to prove. What did he do?
