ORIGINAL: MsMJAY From the article: "It's unfortunate this person passed away, but I believe the facts point towards self-defense," Morales said, adding that Molina was not carrying a badge and was not in uniform. Morales also said when the teens asked Molina to show his badge, Molina reportedly responded, "I don't have to show you anything." Link to story quote:

ORIGINAL: mnottertail generally or not, nobody gives a fuck, a badge dont mean shit, generally. And it is speculation at this point whether he showed it or not, anyone can get a badge. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=police%20badge&sprefix=police+bad%2Caps&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Apolice%20badge no logic demonstrated to date, fellas. How did I know you were going to say that. There are plenty of costume shops with police "uniforms" and anyone can paint a car. So go ahead and kill the cop, then claim self defense cause you didn't believe it? Get real that isn't going to fly. Wait a minute...was this guy in uniform? Was he driving a police car? No? As far as showing a badge or ID, I have no idea whether he did or not. So why are you bringing up that nonsense? If some guy drives up to me in a family car, gets out all irate, then shoves me, whether he showed a possibly phoney badge or not, chances are that isn't going to sit too well with me. He wasn't trying to detain the kid...he just shoved him. At that point I think the kid had a bit of a right to self defense. However, continuing to pummel the guy when he was down and out went above and beyond self defense. To me, that is where he would, and should, have problems. When I was in my early teens, I was with my dad when he was making a left hand turn into a parking lot. It was late afternoon, and the sun was glaring off of the tail lights making them difficult to see. The guy behind us nearly ran into us while we were waiting for traffic to clear to make the turn. The guy pulled in behind us, got out of his car all irate, pulled out a badge and flashed it at my dad and started yelling at him, saying he hadn't signaled. My mother asked to take a closer look at the badge. The guy was a fucking meat inspector. Just because somebody flashes a badge doesn't mean they are a cop. Especially if they are all irate and shoving people. Come on Igor, you know full well that I am running the previous argument to it's conclusion. The story stated that he identified himself as an officer. You should know that showing a badge is part of id-ing when not in uniform. If you can pretend the badge must be fake why can't you pretend the uniform is? Maybe you should have read the rest of the article. Later that evening, Medrano and Gonzalez contacted each other via Facebook. In one message, which Medrano showed to police detectives, Gonzalez allegedly wrote, "I killed the guy -- haha J.K. guey. I saw that (expletive) on the news." Morales argued Gonzalez didn't sucker punch Molina, and that the entire incident lasted between 15 and 25 seconds. Morales also said initial media reports described Molina's injuries as "non life-threatening." His lawyer has to describe it that way, what's he going to say, my client is a vicious killer and deserves to die? They also, according to your article heard him tell someone to call 911, not the act of a person looking to start a fight at 3-1 odds. They also admit that they knew Gomez was guilty which undermines them still further. The statement you quoted is worthless. Gonzales' lawyers job is to defend him. As it is the DA's job to try to prove him guilty. I only posted that link because you insisted that a badge was shown. The defense said a badge was not shown and the prosecution has not made any statement regarding that. What you just posted in response has absolutely nothing to do with whether or not a badge was shown.
