That translates to:
“Your case is weak. You’ve no evidence and your only witness is a CI who will say anything to get a rock.”
“Yeah, I know the little bastard did something, you just can’t show me how he’s the one who did that!”
Cops always whine when they can’t get paid to sit around the court.
I've been enjoying the responses of the poor conflicted GOP folks:
1) She was too hard on criminals!
2) She was too much of a reformer of criminal justice!
3) She wouldn't take on hard cases.
4) She was too aggressive in handling cases!
I keep waiting for them to break into "Tastes great!" "Less filling!" and then "Eat Shit!" and "Fuck you!"
