"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." - Manuel II Palelologus
Before anyone gets excited, a little research please. Gotthard, the official victim had bruises on the side of his neck, his arms, his elbow, his shoulders, and his back. Medical experts testified at the trial that his injuries were consistant with someone who had been stomped and kicked.
The officers at the scene arrested Mette because his one punch story and the evidence being loaded into the ambulance didn’t add up. The testimony of physicians was given and a jury reached a verdict.
None of which this particular columnist felt necessary to mention.
what’s the rest of the story here? I feel like being led down the garden path. something doesn’t add up here - why would a cop on the scene of a fight go AGAINST another cop? there is a loto off stuff we’re not being told by this crusading journalist...
Now where is that picture of the BS Meter pegging out?
When applying for my carry permit in Onondaga County NY, a sign above the permit office window actually said “Self-Defense Is Not A Valid Reason”.
(Indeed, only applications noting the reason for the permit request as “sporting purpose” or “collecting” were approved. Later the signing judge who implemented that limitation was driven out of office on cocaine distribution charges. Do the math.)
This sucks! The judge and the DA need to be jailed.
My question, and it is a simple one: Who threw the first punch?
This is one of those “your right to swing your fist ends where my nose begins” things.
That said, Five years?!!! There must be more to this story.
