They were sure of the situation -- they told him that someone down the street shot himself. He was assertive and arguably aggressive toward the police for needlessly roughing him up and acting unprofessionally, then arrested him for obstruction and resisting arrest despite the fact that he had done nothing illegal, had complied with their orders except when they told him to do something that they had no right to make him do, and they had previously let him go and not attempted to arrest him. Then they "lost" the evidence.
If this story as we've been told it is accurate, then the police are acting like thugs when they should be holding themselves to a standard of professional conduct.
