The Salt Lake Police Department is defending itself in the case of the man accused of a string of hit-and-runs in the city and questions about why Ahn Pham wasn’t arrested after the initial hit-and-run last August.

A department spokesman told KSL TV that the case was investigated as an aggravated assault. But, it was determined that there wasn’t enough probable cause to arrest Pham, despite having a license plate number, a victim, and two witness accounts of what happened.

    Although I have to admit I’m surprised that Utah cops didn’t immediately throw this non-white guy in jail.

      Racism vs laziness. It’s like an unstoppable force meets an immovable object. They would need to fill an entire form.

        But can’t they just get out the stamp that says “Not White” on it. Saves so much writing
