The "Assault" (from 0:17 to 0:42) The Blackmail couldn't find the whole thing pasted together so 2 vids it is!
Note: it is difficult to distinguish features of the drunken man in this broadcast as it's night and hard to see. the voice may sound vaguely familiar if you've been tracking Boss and A's memory progress, but it might be hard to place just because the guy was drunk and slurring and yelling, so.
Boss/Joker is walking home after staying out late (dumb reasons not even worth noting) when he hears a woman telling a drunken man she absolutely will not get into his car. The drunken man persists until the woman starts crying for help. Boss/Joker answers the call for help as any reasonable person would and basically just puts a hand on the guy's shoulder and pulls him back and away from the woman.
Drunken man stumbles over his own feet and goes face-first into a road barrier.
"Damn brat... I'll sue!" the man says as he stumbles back standing, bleeding from the brow/nose area.
The woman says she'll call the cops but the man states he already owns the cops! What's more, he basically owns her because he's got deets on some shady dealing she was involved in. So if the cops do come by, she knows what to say, right?
That's right. She'll say that this boy (Boss/Joker) was the one assaulting her and then turned around and assaulted the drunken man.
"You fell down on your own," Boss/Joker protests.
Doesn't matter, apparently. Because when the cops do show up, they recognize the man and the woman does exactly what the man said.
Boss/Joker is grabbed by the two cops and arrested.
Here, the footage gets a lot less streamlined in narrative--a montage of being at the police station, the booking, his parents coming in, the discussions of what to do and how it will look to the neighborhood, expulsion from school, the court hearing, the sentencing... it all goes by quickly, but throughout it there's a common theme: no one will believe his side of the story--or if they do, they say there's nothing to be done about it. By the end of the montage, Boss/Joker has given up trying to fight back and gone quiet.
Whoever that man was, he did in fact have the police in his pocket.
