They do this for every case when one of their own screws up. They tell them to take a paid vacation while they announce what a shame and tragedy that an unarmed person is dead and that the officer woulda, shoulda, coulda. Then they dive into the officer defense fund, hire the best lawyers including the many that will defend them for free and they end up protecting their own. NONE of these police officers EVER get convicted. They always go free. Even when their actions are inexcusable and no question of guilt. Then they retire from the force a few months later after a $$$ settlement. This overworked, under trained, scary cat, refugee officer won't see any time. He'll walk like every other one of their own walk. Pathetic.
