    You don’t question whether the kid actually pointed the gun at them, cop says he did so he must have. Not like a cop would lie to cover his ass, right?

      Cops are all wearing body cams these days. With a case like this, he’ll either submit the body cam footage, or he won’t.

      And if he doesn’t then it’ll be real suspicious as to why.
