Brickbat: Let’s Go to the Tape

DeKalb County, Georgia,
police officer Demetrius A. Kendrick has been indicted on a charge
of violating his oath of office after allegedly planting
marijuana on a man. Kendrick claimed he saw Alphonso Eleby
toss away some marijuana after he and another officer stopped him.
But video later showed Kendrick was the one who tossed something at
Eleby’s feet. The charges against Eleby were later dropped, but not
because of the video. The DeKalb County police department was
unable to find the marijuana Eleby was accused of having.
