Mitt’s “police” uniform explained?

That doesn’t explain the allegation that he described it as a Michigan state trooper uniform given to him by his father. Once again you’re conflating two entirely different accounts of two entirely different events and presenting them as if they’re related and only one of them can be true. You seem to have a problem with ambiguity and need to present mutual exclusivity where it simply does not exist. Mitt’s having worked as a private night security guard doesn’t explain away the uniform, assuming the account of it is true, nor the two first hand non-anonymous accounts of him allegedly saying he planned to use it to pull people over.

You can disbelieve the two accounts by the Stanford couple simply because you want to, that’s fine, but admit it. This ongoing effort to conflate unrelated stories and pretend/assert that only one of them can be true seems to be less about actually finding the truth than about feeding your preconceived notion about media bias that is in itself highly biased.
