It's hard to wrap my mind around the police excuses, even when they said that they didn't originally have the audio in the video. Three eyewitnesses told them the attacker called Christian a faggot while telling him they don't like gay people in the neighborhood.
Zero chance of a hate crime charge with three eyewitnesses?
Wow.
By the way, in a more recent development, Christian and his boyfriend have begun to be threatened online, including by people who were careless enough to reveal their identities.
The Sandy police are saying there's nothing they can do about that. They dropped it, just like they initially dropped the investigation when somebody lied to them about the car being sold.
It's pretty clear that somebody in the Sandy Police Department just doesn't give a shit about gay victims of crime.
And cops wonder why LGBTQ people and members of other minorities don't trust them and don't like them.
This is why. Right here.
