The video does paint a different story.

It sounds more like a case of the prosecutor not wanting a conviction and doing nothing to pursue a conviction. They know who the defense will call but do nothing to get their own witness to disagree. They do t even call the guy who was tazed to the stand.

It is very clear they wanted the cop to get off because they need to work with them and we’re grudgingly prosecuting a case they had no interest in winning.
