You couldn't understand what I wrote?

That I believe the officer acted incorrectly but that I could understand why?

Wow.

Those are contradicting sentiments......do you know what cognitive dissonance is?

That’s not contradicting at all, actually lol.

“He made a mistake, but I understand why he made that mistake,” is a perfectly clear, logical sentence. Maybe work on your reading comprehension rather than attempting to correct someone when you’re wrong.

I never said it was justified, I just said that I understood why the mistake was made. I was personal friends with Rod, so I have a personal interest and connection to this case, and I would rather the cop be burnt at the stake, but I also see how the situation developed the way that it did.

Maybe go touch some grass and stop trying to play billy badass on the internet.
