Ex-WV police chief violently attacked a woman over an expired registration. Though innocent, she spent five days in jail before the charge was dismissed. He resigned and was decertified.

🎯 'A man raped her' instead of 'she was raped.' Have you ever read a headline that reads "A bank was robbed by a suspect?" Nope. It's "A suspect robbed a bank."

At this point I would honestly prefer that the UK authorities said nothing on this than they kept dribbling out cryptic clues like it's a murder mystery evening.
"What if I told you one of them rang 999 himself?"
"We've bailed them, but it's still Iran, what might that mean?"
Not. Helpful.
