    You ignored the context and circumstances because they’re irrelevant?

    Your answer to every comment has consistently been (paraphrasing): “trust the cops, they know what they’re doing”, irrespective of any surrounding facts that might suggest otherwise, or any past history that would suggest that law enforcement doesn’t deserve that level of blind trust.

    Given that, there’s little point in further discussion.
