They didn't feel the cop should be held responsible because he was a “MINORITY” and he had an extremely serious drug problem.

Hoo wee. This is the kind of thing public unions get ya. It should be "you do dope on duty and do something crazy like this, you never 'bear the sword' on our behalf again. Period."

Not only that. The city is liable for the cops behavior, so the city will go into a cover up mode to keep from being sued or to lessen their liability.

It doesn't take long for the bad cops to learn they can do whatever they want, and the city will cover it up.

Don't ever let anyone tell you police abuse and corruption is covered up from the bottom up. The cover up comes from the top down.
