    ‘I don’ t remember’ multiple times. If you have such short memory, maybe you shouldn’t be a police officer.

    I cannot believe this is actually going on in the world. It’s unbelievable that even with the cameras there and such overwhelming evidence they can still tenaciously plow ahead with condemning somebody who is so obviously innocent. I can only imagine how frustrating it is for everybody involved, his lawyers and family. Just watching it is almost unbearable. Crazy.

    It’s truly unbelievable that this type of injustice goes unpunished. Levels of corruption on this scale shouldn’t be tolerated by any nation’s people.
