How many people have gone to jail over a bad witness?

Our system isn't perfect but do you have a better one? Maybe only arrest people that are caught in the act? Let criminals go free because sometimes witnesses are wrong?

No? The few times I've been pulled over by the police I've been nervous. But I'm not black so I guess that matters some reason.

If you're black and have done nothing wrong and you're that scared of police, you're a moron that falls for all the crap that's spewed in the media.

It's called fitting a description. Guess what? It happens to white people too. Did you know that? White people fit descriptions too. I'll grant you not as much because white people don't commit as much crime but it still happens.

Yeah! Stupid police looking for a criminal. How dare they stop someone who matches the description of the criminal. Clearly they should've stopped everyone regardless of race, gender, out clothing.

By the guy's own words, the police didn't mistreat this guy. Heck,they didn't even force him to go to the witness but had the witness come to him.

And yet here you are complaining.

Like when you tell the officer you have a legal weapon in the vehicle and are reaching for your ID you shouldn't be shot.

Like when you are arrested and put in the back of a van for you should die on the way there of a broken neck.

And all but maybe one of those, the person would still be alive if they fully cooperated with police. Thanks again for proving the point.

Except the witness came and did NOT ID him as the perpetrator and the guy spent zero time in jail. Soooooooo bullshit point is bullshit?
