It's a fast track to power over others without having to first gain significant knowledge/wisdom to wield responsibly.
A surgeon is a allowed to cut you open and rearrange your insides because they have been through the intense trials and scrutiny to be trusted to do so.
Cops are just a few weeks of training. Who does this fast track to power without commensurate burdens of responsibility attract? BULLIES. The kids that stole your lunch money are the ones handing out speeding tickets and on drug dealer bribe takes.
That's the paradox of power, the harder someone seeks it for its own sake, the worse a candidate they are to possess it. Maybe if Law enforcement were part of some kind of mandatory national service where everyone has the option to hold it for a year or two would help, but this sociopathic place is too selfish for such ideas.
Not a legal expert, but sounds to me the entire case has been mishandled and all charges are to be dropped immediately.
It's surprising it worked. It's a really well-known tactic, owed to being on every cop show ever. Pretty sure it's totally above-board, though. Anything you leave behind (trash, crumbs, maybe a bit of saliva) is fair game. Unfortunate.
Please don't let any of my hairs fall out while in custody.
Let this be a lesson, if ever arrested. Keep your mouth shut and don't accept anything that the cops give you.
Ask for water from a bottle only, then drink without letting it touch your lips.
But only if you're wearing gloves
They'll take your fingerprints when they book you. They'll hold your hand down and force it onto the reader / ink pad if they have to.
Ah yeah true, forgot that this was an arrest and not just questioning
If you're arrested for a felony in CO you have your DNA collected via swab. Is that not standard? They don't do that in PA?
They don't usually collect until after you're convicted, if I recall correctly.
In CO a felony arrest gets you swabbed.
Sucks for CO
Well he is a bit of a snack.
I'm kind of surprised he fell for that
He didn't murder anyone. He's clearly just someone the cops framed. Who walks around with a confession in their backpack after murder?
Someone who is a perfect example of the "I didn't think I'd get this far" meme. For you to believe he's a scapegoat, you also have to believe that the cops found a guy who looks like the killer, wore the same clothes as the killer, was in the same area as the killer, and had motive to kill the ceo of uhc basically within hours of the murder, because that's when the media started running the pictures from the hostel. The, this hypercompetent police force who found a perfect patsy in no time lets him float in the wind for 5 days for... No reason.
There's a lot of shady elements, this is not one of them.
Different clothes, different backpack. Same person? 🤔
I understand why he did what he did as much as anyone but this conspiratorial thinking annoys me.
Maybe someone who sees the online reaction to their action and expects to become a martyr when found carries a confession with them?
Police in the US is beyond fucked up but if this is a cover up I'll eat my shoes
Sounds like little risk as far as this alleged crime goes, if there's any semen on the scene, it's likely mine.
The blood is mine and it was consensual.
