So the officer didn't say anything about the uniform status of "AJ," or whether he was in a marked cruiser?
So much for the other side of the story. According to the Detroit News, "AJ" was on undercover duty at the time. Now, I'm no expert on law enforcement, but I have the impression that undercover means something besides blue uniform, fancy hat, cruiser with "POLICE" in big bold letters, etc.
Cover-ups take many forms. One can attempt to hide information. One can also disseminate mis-information. One can also tell the truth, shade it with innuendo, dismiss really bad things as trivial (not THAT much of the finger was lopped off), and omit relevant information.
Apparently, the thin blue line is really sharp; sharp enough to cut a finger on (or off, for that matter).
I think this scenario has already been commented on by another member, but I want to float a hypothetical question to those who are inclined to side with "AJ." If Joni was a licensed CCW holder, and was armed, waiting in her car, and was approach by a man in plainclothes, claiming to be a cop, who than began grappling with her, and she ended up sending AJ to the big precinct house in the sky, having every reason to believe she was being car-jacked, how many would be calling for reserved judgment until all sides of the story are heard?
