Don't Cops "Observe" Any More?

Even if you take for granted that both versions of the story are--possibly--a little "shaded" here, this part is inconvtrovertible:

...If you just look at Gilberto, he['s] 5-foot-3, 130 pounds with Down Syndrome, it's 100 percent obvious he has Down Syndrome," he said.

You don't need an M.D. license to spot someone with Down's Syndrome.  

And a 'bulge' at the belt-line?  For crying out loud, that's 25++% of men and women these days.
