It's His Word Against Yours. You Like Those Odds?

Police omerta is something you know exists but you assume nothing can be done about. When a cop does something bad, they circle the wagons. And so, apparently, that's what happened when a cop allegedly attacked a 49ers fan with a bottle after a New York Giants game, and how the cop who wrote up the report appears to have favored the cop's story. The victim was left bleeding, but the attacker's story that he didn't do anything and the victim was drunk and aggressive and bled all over his car on purpose was dutifully recorded. And now, the attacker's been indicted, indicating that the cop's story doesn't wash. Have you ever been in a situation -- traffic stop, anything -- in which the cop's story wasn't really how things happened? (NJ Advance Media/NJ.com)
