It's Detroit. I'd stay drunk too if I had to live there year round.

Ofcourse the police are gonna say it was staged after it almost went bad. I think the police needed the purse and money to pay officers because of their economic woes. They just got busted.

A lot of people out here have CPLs now and carry weapons. They're tired of the crime that's going on in Detroit, and they might want to stand up and help somebody that's in this type of situation.

What if someone HAD drawn down on the "suspect?" This entire mess could have escalated out of control. And aren't there enough of those "Wildest videol" shows on anyway?

Why don't this shit happen in Tulsa, or Oklahoma City?

Because the undercover cop that takes the purse will probably get stopped/ beat down/ shot by a citizen.

I am guessing you knew that though.

It wasn't the agent or the cop's fault. It was the cop's bosses, who came up with the lame brain idea to simulate a purse snatching and then invite a TV crew to film your reaction Detroit.

So the cop didn't have the choice to say "this is a stupid idea, I'm not doing it"? He has to follow all "orders" from his bosses, no matter how stupid?

No. The cop was an idiot for going along with it.

My guess is most cops will go along with what ever they are told, unless it means someone shooting at them...

Sounds like something I would see in an old 3 Stooges episode

Quoting one of the comments:

So they stage a fake scenario to teach people about taking eye witness testimonies, when a FBI agent no clued in turns it into a real scenario. And no one can agree on what what actually happen when the FBI agent gave chase. The whole thing goes to show how unreliable witness testimonies can be.

It's true. Eyewitnesses are completely unreliable. There's a reason scientific method only relies on verifiable, repeatable testing and not just what someone saw (or more likely thinks they saw).
