That being said, there is no excuse for the poor police procedure and actions, giving him contradictory orders and then killing him.
No excuse for them not releasing the phone call and video tapes.
No excuse for them covering for each other such that only one officer in the entire city over 20 years has ever been found to act improperly (and he wasn't charged with a crime).
Is there no Internal Affairs office in Las Vegas, or are they all asleep at their desks? Not one corrupt officer in all of Las Vegas worthy of prosecution in decades?
Really?
The job of Internal Affairs is not to catch corrupt officers. It's to protect the Department.
