Seriously - OP and their friends are at least half of the damn deck stacked against Josiah!
Josiah could have said whos it was as well, but we were both silent. The problem is not that friends aren't tattling over a fucking weed pipe, but that officers deferred blame to the black kid and not the white adult or the two white kids.
No, we didn't stop being friends over that, in fact we became better friends.
Jeez. You guys really think any of us would have told the cops whos pipe it was?
I can't help but read your comments as sarcasm because of their ignorance to basic street code.
You don't point fingers or speak names, even if you take a bullshit charge.
If they deferred blame to me, I'd have quietly gone as well.
