Good thing he didn't admit he was wrong. That would have shifted the entire balance of power in the nation, and anarchy would have ensued.
Edit: gonna leave my initial snark for context, but this isn't about Uber to me. It's further information about how completely out of bounds the power structure is in the US, and how accountability for police action is continuously declining.
"Uber" gives the article some sex appeal, admittedly, but I prefer to have articles about abuses of power up-voted. The more you know, and whatnot.
Apologies for the snark, but I'd rather read this article than not. You give the officer an out - he was "confused" and whatnot - but when you hold power over the general population, "bad calls" aren't as easily forgivable, because they cause real world harm - and every time they aren't held to account, police feel a bit more invincible.
