After pledging a “thorough” investigation, the NYPD cleared the officers involved in the 2019 shooting. But new records show that investigators allowed police misstatements to stand, despite having body-camera video to disprove them.
It seems crazy to me that these cops can shoot another cop in the head in such a blatant mistake and all the other cops will pretend it didn’t happen and cover it up. You would think a sense of self-preservation would make disciplining these cops acceptable within the NYPD but even that’s not enough.
It’s just what they are trained to do applied to a situation that makes it harder to ignore.
They show up to an incident or make one, get “scared”, execute someone in a panic, and then tell the media whatever bullshit is necessary to make them sound like they are in the right. You literally cannot trust early coverage of incidents where police are involved because they lie to reporters like they breath, and idk why but they believe them every time.
It doesn’t work as well when the person they executed was another cop. The best they can hope for then is “accident” but that excuse doesn’t cover up their incompetence.
the last few years have taught me a very importantt lesson. If there’s one thing you can count on in America it’s this:
Should you one day be wrongfully shot by police, they will lie about how it happened, and drag your name through the mud if at all possible. No matter who you are, even if you are one of their own.

It is baffling . I can’t think of a single other profession where people won’t take any steps to make sure they won’t get killed by a co-worker.
