Video Shows Cop Sucker-Punching Handcuffed Teenager. Judge Refuses to Look at the Evidence.

9. True

My thought is that, if in fact the lack of a complaining witness is actually some sort of legal issue, as the article claimed the logic was ...

... it made zero sense to me that the complaining witness wouldn't (voluntarily) be there. So maybe there's something odd going on (maybe he's out and afraid to come to court precisely because the cop did what the cop did ... maybe he's still in jail and nobody actually bothered to even try to get him to court ... etc)

Of course, that would all be nullified if the article isn't accurate, which is in all likelihood pretty probable.

The video itself makes me mad, and my wife told me 'well, stop watching it"
