You know I really have to agree. People are trained to cooperate with the police and in a perfect world if you're innocent you wouldn't need an attorny, but it's not a perfect world and I believe shutting up, letting the police find the films of the attack which could exist from various securty cameras (I recently heard the average person is filmed over 100 times during the course of the day much to the regret of a few bad cops and plenty of bad guys) and make their own conclusions is a lot better than volunteering to be hung
