The fan wanted a picture and Springsteen obliged. One report I read said the arresting officer saw this happen and that’s how it all started.

Can we at least let the facts come out before we crucify the guy? I realize your post isn’t condemning. My comment is just my utter frustration with some other posts I’ve seen trying to amplify this situation. Let the facts be known and then we can decide if he’s to forever be a bad guy.

I’m not ready to give up on The Boss just yet.
