Confused....
Why were they undercover, no uniforms, unmarked car, to serve an arrest warrant?
If someone in plain clothes grabbed one of my kids and yanked them out of my front door, I would have a rather harsh reaction also....
I understand they were doing a sting (catch in the act)... but being the fellow didn't know what was going down, she (the cougar) screamed bloody murder and IMHO she should be charged with the attempted murder for putting the poor uncle in the situation he was put in (defending her). The police have one card that carries weight, if the uncle knew what she did and turned a blind eye he also (IMHO) should hold some responsibility for her crimes of prostitution. Was it his house, their house, her house is a complication I am sure the judge had to look at? Throw in the fact that a couple of police officers were clients of hers.
One big bloody mess of a case to be honest. Dark Middle of night, no officers in uniform, woman screaming for help, and you just get woke up and having to process all this at once... One big mess that I can see taking years to sort out... I can see where this special case might allow this ruling and it not be exactly an affront to police officers in other cases unlike the police officers trying to claim it was. Yeah, police were shot here and he gets away with it, but he lost 5 years in the process and I don't think he meant to be the bad guy at all.
My opinion after 10 minutes of limited reading on the case... subject to change with new info I didn't read.
What do I get out of this? Don't have a nightcrawler operate out of your home if you can help it, it doesn't end well.
