I'd agree that it would be totally wrong to throw this cop in jail for beating his ex without actual proof. A teenager's youtube video isn't a courtroom though and shouldn't require the same standards for proof. I'm just saying that it's a lot less unreasonable to accuse this cop of beating his ex than it would be to pick a random person on the street and accuse them of the same. He was clearly wrong about the conviction, there's a pretty good chance he wasn't wrong about the abuse. Maybe that's a good enough standard of evidence to demand from the youtube video of a justifiably pissed off 19 year old? It'd be best if he uploaded a correction, or even a corrected re-upload of his video, but I think it's fair to say that this kid has been screwed over by the legal system enough already. He should probably get a pass for getting the fact about the conviction wrong and not maintaining the highest levels of journalistic integrity in the youtube video documenting the violation of his rights.
