It could have been worse, much worse. Lochte's and Feigen's allegations.
This whole mess is bad enough with the swimmers creating an international incident after vandalizing a gas station restroom, then with two of the swimmers, Lochte's and Feigen still perpetuating their lies about the incident, even reaching out to media after the other two swimmers, Conger and Bentz had testified truthfully to police.
Yet, it could have been even worse.
How many times have we seen round ups and even imprisonment of people of color in the United States after false accusations aimed at specifically at African American men?
I think the Brazilian police did a good job at investigating to get to the truth, rather than jumping to the conclusion that these privileged men must be telling the truth and unleashing a manhunt based on their false allegations.
