    Arrested the “suspect”?

    I mean, no need to suspect anything, the footage speaks for itself

      It’s a suspect and an alleged crime until they’re convicted. Media outlets and journalists have been sanctioned by judges for not presuming innocence.

      Only a court can convict someone of a crime, so police always deals with “suspects”, even if they know they’re guilty
