Not true. The "evidence" was a report by a man in a hospital bed who claimed this was what happened to him. ( didn't recall he was a cop ). It was carried live by national TV. I watched it thinking that the guy was either lying or delerious. The news clip ended when his wife in tears rushed in and hugged him.
Even though his report was unbelievable to my knowledge the news people never questioned the veracity of the man.
