I heard the chief of police in Rio said that filing a false police report is a crime, but did they actually file one?
I haven’t heard that they actually did.
I doubt any of them went to the police to file a report of their own volition. Maybe the false testimony could pertain to whether the police can find any holes in the accounts of the two swimmers they have detained?

I've actually used my feet numerous times in rest stops to open doors and honestly this is what it looked like.
The video then shows the guys being asked out of the video and taken to the side of the store all while their hands up. You see the swimmers grab wallets and hand over money then they are back in the ground all forced to sit with hands up.
Where is the video of them trashing a bathroom? I can see what appears to be a walkway that leads to a bathroom. No kicking by Lochte or the other guys (it looks like the last guy out makes a fast movement but he is not one of the swimmers). Plus a minute or so was removed from the video while they were back there. Another three minutes is removed before they get out of the taxi with their hands up.

Because you know how much it cost to replace a commercial door and soap dispenser including labor--not to mention the fact that they would have done jail time in America for such a crime.
I'd say they got off easy.
I'm assuming you don't live in DC, PP. No one here is doing hard time for knocking down a door.![]()
I don't think anyone, anywhere in this country is serving jail time for kicking down a door. Please...
Destruction of property? I'm sure there is someone somewhere in jail for this. A minority, no doubt.
Who is saying bad things about the Simones?

that's not at all how I understand it to be.
1) they were drunk
2) they vandalized property - illegal around the globe btw even if it was in the slums of Rio
3) they were caught on surveillance and caught coming out of the gas station bathroom they vandalized - and were stopped, and guns were used to make sure that they complied.
They were stupid and they deserve what they've gotten so far.
