    “We can’t possibly determine the truth in this circumstance because officers of the court and the law both conspired to establish a pre-determined outcome by misusing their authority and resources, so we’ll ensure that you can’t be charged again.”

    Maybe cops and lawyers should play by the rules if they want the law to put people in prison.

      Why would they want to play by the rules when they got a rich white man out of trouble?

      This is the result cops wanted.

        Yes, cops are big fans of the famously left-wing Alec Baldwin.

          (Northern) New Mexico is a fairly left leaning state that increasingly gets a lot of money from the film industry and a shocking number of celebrities live out near Santa Fe. Considering the long history of tragic and pointless deaths due to poor safety practices on film sets, there is a very strong incentive to not prosecute these crimes.

          But that would be the DA and prosecution, not the cops. Who are, like all cops, right wing dipshit bastards. And New Mexico has increasingly had conflicts between the government and the police with cops openly refusing to enforce laws they don’t like.

          So yeah. Kind of a shitshow all around. But for anyone to think the cops are going to bat for Alec Baldwin? Holy shit.

          Which is why I’m surprised it seems like multiple people in the comments here seem to want him charged, unless I’m mistaken lol

            I guess, unlike cops, they don’t base their sense of justice on where or not they agree with someone’s politics.

        Really because it seemed to me the cops wanted him locked up.

        If the cops and prosecutors really didn’t want him to be charged, they could have just, you know, not charged him

        Well, then I guess everyone involved got what they wanted. Are you upset because things didn’t go the way they were never going to go? It was obvious from the outset that he would never step foot in prison even outside of this conspiracy to withhold evidence.

              This is the real answer. ‘This is stupid, because I don’t understand’ seems to be a common theme with people around the world.
