Miami Beach Police said they will investigate this case thoroughly if Hazan files a supplemental police report.

What's that about, you have to file a supplemental police report from the hospital bed to have a beating investigated? Had he been killed, no report, no investigation?

In spite of the glitz of Miami Beach, I never go there.

"What's that about, you have to file a supplemental police report from the hospital bed to have a beating investigated? Had he been killed, no report, no investigation?"

Most often, in at least some cities, there is little investigation, and reports are brief. ...very different from what we've seen in television shows. ...photos, hasty TOD analysis, witnesses (if any)...that's about it.

I’ll give you a real-life (or death) example.

A psychologist (private practice group) was charged with a misdemeanor...procedural, required paperwork, maybe...forgot what it even was.

A few days later, the car owned by the same psychologist was found with one flat tire on the road next to a very short bridge. The bridge was about thirty feet above the tiny stream below—four feet maximum water depth over rocks (mostly about two feet in the deeper points, give or take). His body was dressed office-casual (sharp), and there were no bruises, lacerations, or anything like that.

Coroner/medical examiner said suicide: that the subject had jumped off of the bridge, into the water, and drowned.

Yeah, right.
