Col. Kurtz in Apocalypse Now...."What do you call it when the assassins accuse the assassin"? THEY LIE. Absolutely SFA comes from a cop on cop investigation.
And yet...
 

So we can have a inquiry about police corruption, but not political.. gotcha

It's all a farce anyway. Guy investigating the police has had his role for years. Why did nothing happen until corruption hit the press? He doesn't want to find anything. He makes the announcement, cops behave for a bit, he finds nothing, they all cheer about how awesome the cops are and then resume criminal behaviours.

Big surprise, it will be another case of we investigated ourselves and found no wrongdoing.
Stay tuned for more earth shattering revelations.
 
Drunk driver called in. Cops investigate and talk to driver. Don't bother with any sobriety tests and let him go. He crashes and multiple people die. BAC was .225. SIU investigates for almost two years and decides no criminal charges are warranted for the cops. Now internal discipline procedures can start (or not). PSA needs to change. That's hundreds of thousands more spent on dirtbags that don't do the job they were hired to do.

As typical, the cops refused to be interviewed by SIU. While that is their right and makes sense in the face of potential criminal charges, that position should be front and center in discipline proceedings. You are hired to uphold the law and also feel that obstructing the quest for justice is the best path for you. That should be the end of their career but it never is.

The driver of the stopped vehicle was my friend's son. His girlfriend was in the passenger seat.

I watch some YouTube police chases with both body and dash cameras being used.

When the chase ends in a shooting all the cops are reminding each other to not say anything, write down anything, text anything or post anything on social media.

Crickets and whistling.

While this is frequently a "Blue Wall" issue, there is also a legitimate reason for this. Not discussing the incident preserves separation of testimony, by not contaminating officers' recollections. It's even worse when they all "get their stories straight."

I understand your point but not writing anything down is the opposite of your point. That is preservation of the thick blue line to allow flexibility in the future to ensure the police were justified.
 
I get suspicious when a number of reports say exactly the same thing.
There are very very rarely consequences when police get caught modifying the truth. If it worked for you the last thousand times, why change now? Imo, crap like that should be harshly punished.

On that note, where's Demkiws report on the cops that got called out for lying by a judge? How many years does it take? If they were bad enough that a judge called them on it in open court, you'd think a few days of investigation should be sufficient to drop the hammer.
