Sounds to me like the “fix” is in on this. the Fullerton PD is rounding up the wagons.
This is equivelant to a “teacher” allowing “students” to take a final exam with an open text book in front of them. Is it any wonder that so many people don’t trust the integrity of LEOs?
No, it isn't. Filling out a report isn't a exam.
I have to agree with you for two reasons (so far):
(1) The public has been calling for the resignation of the police chief Michael Sellers, and two days ago he went out on disability. It's said he won't be coming back, and that will leave his $250,000+ pension untouched and collectable. My understanding is that he can't be fired while out on disability.
(2) The D.A.'s spokeswoman keeps telegraphing that if they don't bring these policemen up on charges, they will write a "complete and transparent report explaining why they came to that decision."
I expect a report and nothing more. If the family wants to pursue a remedy it will be through the civil lawsuit they will be initiating.
LEOs do not have any integrity to lose. And it is the result of conduct by cops themselves that has made this possible.
