[QUOTE="Jones, post: 570107, member: 4805"] You're acting as if whatever the officer wrote down must be the way everything happened, without question. You do realize that an arresting officer [I]always[/I] writes a report that supports his version of events and casts himself in the best light, just following proper procedures, suspect was completely in the wrong, etc, right? It's not gospel and it's certainly not objective. I've actually been arrested under false pretenses, and when I saw the [-]exercise in creative writing[/-] report that the officer had written it was amazing how little resemblance it bore to what actually happened. Fortunately I had several witnesses who saw what really happened and the charges were dropped. I'm not saying that Crowley is a liar, or that Gates didn't act like a jackass (I suspect he did). But I certainly wouldn't rely solely on the police report of the officer involved to determine the truth. The only guarantee with a police report is that it's going to cover the officer's ass.
