(27,670 posts)he has publicly alleged that he knows the identity of a person that he alleges has committed a crime? And that he has proof of this crime on his cellphone?
I mean, why announce this if you want to protect the person's identity? WTF is he thinking?
I don't believe that a person is obligated to report a crime in California. But if someone publicly admits (and it is reported by AP nationwide) that they saw someone committing a crime, that they know the identity of the person committing the crime, and they have proof of this person committing a crime on film, aren't the cops kind of obligated to investigate?
Like, "Hey America! I saw John Doe murder Jane Doe, and I have it on film!!! And the cops haven't even asked me about it"
I'm just sayin', from my POV as an unabashed skeptic that saw a frightening amount of AP propaganda during the Bush era. Back then, AP was known as "American Propaganda".
Have any of the persons alleged to have committed blatant acts of vandalism, destruction, or theft while self-associated with any Occupy direct ever been arrested and charged for anything other than stuff like trespassing or unlawful assembly?
Or do the cops just let these people skate for some reason?
Just curious, I haven't seen anything about this anywhere.
