Dang. The usual suspects pooched it extra hard on this thread.
The lawyer's name is there. His twitter feed is there. His law office web pages are there.
And if you read the Twitter conversation, you'd have found the lawyer said there would definitely have been justification for a traffic ticket for driving too fast, but instead the cop wrote it up as reckless driving, a much bigger fine.
And that the ADA insta-dropped it because, given the photo evidence, there was zero chance of conviction.
And that there were many other photos, panorama shots to prove the "money shot" was indeed taken where the police report said the incident occurred, and that there were no other tire marks in the vicinity.
The location near Durham, NC. He didn't "out" the officer because that would earn him a bad reputation with the DA/ADA, who frown on taking disagreements out of the legal system, and that would work against his clients in the future. He could only encourage his client to file a complaint.
And common sense should tell you that you can't do multiple donuts on a narrow street. People who try that quickly strike telephone poles. There's a reason people do donuts in parking lots.
The point is that a white witness fed an insane story to the cop, one that violated the physical evidence and common sense, yet the cop just took his word over the kid's because the kid was black.
Oh, the lawyer is a lifelong Republican and white guy, now running for office as a Republican.
And the only defense certain people will have is "I don't like what the story says, so it must be a conspiracy!".
