My guess is that one or more of these officers have another beef with the chief. Either they did not get the raises (what they thought their cut should be) or some other issue so they threw him under the bus. Up until that time they were perfectly happy to go along with the plan.

So your personal position is that there are zero honest cops anywhere?

You sir, are one of the folks who give ammo to the idiots who insist that the police are never at fault. Same stupidity, opposite ends of the spectrum.

I will continue to evaluate each incident based on the information available and make individual judgments.

How cute. You took a comment about this specific incident, generalized it, hit a fellow Freeper over the head with it, then patted yourself on the back for not generalizing.
