i think some people are missing the part where it says this guy was high on cocaine... i think its totally believable, and may have seemed rational in many crackheads' minds if in the exact same situation.
I did miss the part about him being high on coke. But I think that no matter what you're on, you should know enough to not go up to a cop and ask if he wants to buy some illegal substances.
