The Ryan Lochte Scandal

A guy gets drunk and breaks a cheap sign. 

Security guards show up extort money from the guy and his friends at gunpoint.

Crooked cops detain the guy's friends and extort thousands of dollars from them and their organization.

Is it fair to blame the drunk guy for all of this? Should we just accept it when armed men demand money from travelers without any type of legal procedure?

Ryan Lochte is not the villain in this story. He's not blameless, but other actors committed bigger crimes. And their names aren't showing up in the papers.
