(163,349 posts)It DOES have something to "do with the cops" when there is no "probable cause" for arrest.
This is why my city, the city of Philadelphia, will most likely be sued and have to take my taxpayer dollars to compensate for a rogue police department where every step along the way, from the officer who took the 911 call and never requested additional information about the situation, to the dispatcher who suddenly decided to "make up facts" about the situation by transforming "2 gentlemen" into "a group of males", and next thing you know, 6-7 officers and a supervisor respond to the scene as if there was a cop down, helped to create this situation.
This is why the need for criminal justice reform and this is why the voters of Philadelphia elected a Civil Rights lawyer as our DA this past fall, much to the chagrin to the rogue cop industry here.
