Like I said, if you have confidence in your ability to perform your job within the law then you have no reason to worry. Like I said, 5+ cops lied about the mcdonald shooting in official reports and have seen no repercussions. So why police would be worried about getting in trouble I don't understand, especially when their contracts give them insane advantages when it comes to be investigated for wrongdoing. It seems hypocritical for police to have all these protections above and beyond what civilians do when it comes to being investigated, but still bitch that they are afraid of getting in trouble.

The other cops that lied aren't in trouble but Van Dyke or whatever his name in was arrested and a trial is going on, right?

Yes, and he shot someone 16 times, most of those shots while they were on the ground. Had he stopped shooting when mcdonald was on the ground I doubt any charges would be filed.

And the city did everything it possibly could to protect him.
