I really don't like that sculpture, it's location in the middle of the street, or occidental park. move it to the side, open occidental back up to traffic and these confrontations will go away.

As someone who has done something similar (though with much lower stakes), it sounds like the three cops in this incident did things quite well, and should be commended. Especially in this time of problematic cops, it's refreshing to hear about cops doing things right, and updating their beliefs based on the evidence, to the point where they took the wealthier white man into custody.

Why is collude in scare quotes? That shit actually happens and separating witnesses to prevent it from happening is proper investigative protocol. Fucking Stranger stringer.
