How could it not be? The police report is what gets things started. It's what turns an incident or encounter into a case. And police reports are reconstructed narratives produced after the fact. Cops are essentially writing a kind of crime fiction day in and day out. Only rarely are they given the kind of read Badiou gets here. When they are it's common to find discrepancies as in the Gates case.
