## Statement

Ed intentionally lied to summon a large police presence to contact a completely innocent black man who was -just delivering newspapers- in Ed’s neighborhood. Ed was scared and assumed Sedrick was trying to break into homes. Ed lied and claimed to the dispatcher that Sedrick Altheimer threatened to kill him -4 times- before later admitting he had lied. Ed has zero remorse and believes he did the right thing. Ed is a Brady cop. This clearly shows that Ed cannot be trusted to have integrity or honor and that he doesn’t use his powers for good.
