So the cops will lie on their report, conflicting with the video evidence, to make themselves look good and assure a prison sentence? Not gonna happen. And if they're stupid enough to do it, off to prison with them.
Why would it be a lie?
They look at the video and then write down EXACTLY what the video shows, slipping in first-person accounts for what is essentially a third-person viewing. Statement matches video 100% case closed.
The only way they could be caught in a lie is if they were required to give statements independently of collaboration with fellow officers or with video evidence. But that’s not gonna happen now.
Of course, the video shows what happended, so if there’s something there, it MIGHT see the light of day. I’m not optimistic. This past spring, an Indianapolis cop was drunk driving on-duty in a police vehicle and rear-ended a group of motorcyclists who were stopped at a traffic light.
The cops who responded took the officer to a non-approved testing center and even though the results were seriously incriminating, they were disallowed because career cops who’d done this hundreds of times before make a mistake on this one. Go figure. Blue protecting blue, at its finest. I don’t expect anything different here.
