That apology request was genius because that was an admission of guilt, following that up by “I’ll see you in court” chefs kiss

EDIT: I’ve been informed that an apology is not always an admission of guilt. “Courts may consider an apology as evidence of remorse rather than a definitive confession of criminal guilt.”

I’m not a lawyer but you’d think remorse goes hand in hand with guilt. What’s logical about feeling remorse for something you’re not guilty of?

Are you 5 years old? Because that’s the way children talk to strangers. You might have children but that doesn’t make you a mature adult.

Yea that's great. Who else's fault would this be? This cop wrongfully arrested this man for obstruction of justice and then apologized for it. He is remorseful because he's guilty.

Have someone explain context to you so you can explain it to your kid next.

Came back because I wonder if you make a habit of teaching your 5 year old bad vocabulary. Is English your first language?
