> The articles headline is a little misleading - there's no indication that anyone made up any charges, the cops were deciding what to charge him with given the situation. That's what cops do every day.

I take it you missed the part in the video where they said they would say that there were witnesses who didn't want to leave their names/information.

Cops do that every day too, it's just that nobody wants to admit it. That's the real problem. The leap from finding some excuse to charge someone to creating an excuse is just too small.
