[QUOTE=Anaamika]  
**Bricker** , may I ask you a question? Who are you pitting, exactly?  
[/QUOTE]

When I started the thread I was Pitting the mother (mostly) and the cops.

Of course, I was going only on the info presented in the link I offered, The Smoking Gun, Subsequent discussion has led me to believe that it’s perhaps not as cut-and-dried pittable a situation as I imagined.
