Michigan Police Scratch Their Heads At Fox Contributor’s Post-Punch Media Tour

There is video footage of him being assaulted. We dont know who the suspect is, but we could do a several month investigation and find the suspect, Inspector Gene Adamczyk, spokesperson for the state police, told TPM on Thursday. But if Mr. Crowder is not going to prosecute, we have not gained anything, weve wasted resources.
I saw Mr. Crowders interview on Sean Hannity and he wants to have an MMA-sanctioned fight with this individual, he said. Crowder told Hannity that if the suspect doesnt come forward for the MMA fight (which he said would be held for charity), Crowder would press charges.
You cant leverage the law for personal gain, he said. Either youre the victim, or youre not. So if hes the victim of an assault, and he wants to file a complaint, we will definitely investigate it.
Meanwhile, media reports have poked holes in the original, edited video Crowder posted online after he was punched. The New York Times reported a look at the video broadcast on the Sean Hannity show appears to show quite clearly that [Crowder] left out an important section of the footage when he put together his edit.
