As a LEO he certainly should appreciate that a subjects statement is just that, a statement. Not something that a LEO or anyone else should be reading another interpretation into. Of course that only holds true if you agree with whoever points out the discreprancy.

Don't know what an leo is but as a lawyer I can tell you, for future reference, that if you think you can avoid liability for defamatory (slanderous or - in the case of something you write on the internet - libelous) remarks by claiming that your words are merely "your statement" and are not open to interpretation, you're wrong. I'm not commenting at all on the facts of this thread - just letting you know that "I didn't mean it THAT way" is not a defense and that we all need to be mindful what we say about one another.
