Yep, when it comes to crime, cops are as bad as any other criminal when it comes to the covering up for other cops.
“Yep, when it comes to crime, cops are as bad as any other criminal when it comes to the covering up for other cops.”
If you want to test this theory, just file a written complaint against a cop like I did a couple of years ago. In exchange for my very detailed written complaint, I received a letter from a Lieutenant advising me that if my complaint were proven false, that I would be prosecuted. I finally had to write to the Town Council about the situation before the PD decided that they had better “investigate.” They called me in, put me and my wife (always have someone with you) in an interrogation room with no windows, a cop and a tape recorder. Then he proceeded to try and trip me up by asking that I repeat everything I wrote. I simply told him that the complaint was accurate, and that I would only answer any questions that he had. Then he launched into his mantra about out put upon all cops were and wondered what it would take for me to withdraw the complaint because it was going to go on the cop’s permanent record. At the end of the day, the Chief “found” that the cop had acted within the law. Case closed!
The only good news is that in this instance someone had not lost their life. but the coverup process was exactly the same. We are The Law, we answer to no one!
