and the other for having a bottle, flammable liquid, and cloth in his possession.
This. This is a common tactic.
Raid someones kitchen, and see what 'ingredients' they can find and then claim "explosives materials" were found.
I'm aware, but it's somewhat of amusing that in this case it was indirectly admitted just how pedestrian the materials found were. Usually they use the vague terms like "explosive or bomb materials" which if no more information is released or the reader doesn't do more research on the case sounds like it might actually be a credible threat, but in this case by mentioning that they were molotov materials it informs every reader of just how common place the materials they found were.
The fact that cops are trained to do that, and they go along with it, tells you they're more concerned with the process than serving actual justice. It is a job for them. Because we can't have justice, if all the people enforcing it care about is process.
Which makes them enemies of the public.
