But it doesn't even matter, if you believe the police about the inconsistencies in their stories, they still lied to the police even if there was a robbery.
I agree they lied to the mom and the cops initially. Even though they were technically robbed they painted a scenario where it was a stick up rather than a response to their behavior
My issue is with the victim blaming and justification because the perpetrators were douchey drunk frat bros. That doesn't make it ok to get a gun pulled on you and forced to fork over cash. Plenty of victims of police/violent crime in the US are douchey, rude, or act in a way that didn't help the situation. It's still not ok to escalate the situation by pulling out a loaded weapon. A particularly hilarious quote was that the use of violence wasn't excessive and the gun only served to calm down someone. Because we all know the best way to defuse a tense situation is to pull out a ****ing gun.
Edit: as I post Clark states the use of the weapon was to calm the swimmers. It's comical. Pointing a gun at someone is not calming and there's absolutely no way his opinion would be the same if it wasn't happening in beloved RIO and the victims weren't douchey frat bros.
