I wouldn’t exactly call it nothing.

“Those actions, described in grand jury testimony, violated protocols for handling a crime scene and securing evidence, according to experts in policing procedures and Justice Department documents.

Wilson’s movements after the shooting were among a number of police actions in the aftermath of Brown’s death that experts said were unusual. The grand jury transcripts revealed, for example, that the officers who interviewed Wilson immediately after the shooting did not tape the conversations. They also showed that an investigator from the medical examiner’s office opted not to take measurements at the crime scene and arrived there believing that what happened between Brown and Wilson was “self-explanatory.” “

While I am convince of Wilson’s innocence,(those who know me saw a pig fly by.) That doesn’t make improper investigation OK.

They did what I accuse cops of, they investigated this with a forgone conclusion in mind, not as a critical investigation of an officer involved shooting. It was their job to catch him if guilty of a crime, and they had no intentions of doing so. This is why I never trust cops investigating cops. They aren’t motivated to do the job right.

Ignoring procedure is a great way to accidentally let a guilty cop get off, or a not so accidental way.

I never said I would.

Ok, explain how any of the alleged irregularities could have destroyed evidence implicating Wilson and exonerating Brown? AND - do we really know that these sorts of "irregularities" aren't fairly common in investigations?

This may be the procedures used in DC, (where, admittedly, the volume is much higher) but that doesn't make it the standard for everyone.

How many cops were available? Is anyone asking? Are you? A town of what, 12,000? How many cops were on duty? Were there other and better uses for their time, with a dead body lying in the street?
