The Police *report* on the Phoenix couple [View all]

https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/phoenix/2019/06/14/phoenix-police-release-report-controversial-response-shoplifting-incident/1461089001/

It's not lost on me - the cops didn't have their body cameras on.

No cameras? Then nothing they say is the truth.

Wouldn't a dash cam or store video show underwear being thrown out a window?

And then they *thought* the couple were reaching for weapons?

How did the infant the mother was holding get *dead arm* and injured if officer Christopher Meyers was so polite as to offer to let the mother place her child in shade?

This doesn't make sense. Their police report doesn't make sense.
