that's what friends are for... in california

The Bou' has to point out that the whole "this guy is a cop" thing is a bit overblown, but woah - it's a great story anyway.

coward journalists

yep. san francisco again. in addition to having a rather amazingly terrible record at keeping witnesses alive, san francisco's po-po are apparently really into bad mouthing people that don't trust their ability to keep them alive.

I point to Lt. Mike Stasko, who said of a journalist student who prefers to stay alive:

"we're just going to find some witnesses who aren't cowards, like this student is, hiding behind the shield law"

If BART cops can do it, so can Fresno cops

The Bou's favorite part about the whole story is how the chief of police's first concern seems to be telling everyone that the cops were justified. I'm sure it'll be a fair investigation.

Frankly, I don't see why they called the police, it looks like they should have called a fire truck based on all the weed those kids were burning.
