  1. Why is it that police nowadays have such a severe case of CYA (Cover Your Ass)?  You've got a bad cop in your force, some bad shit happens, and now CYA.  Don't these people realize that when you confront the citizenry that you're sworn to protect, it makes people trust you LESS?  I get that totally honest police get accused of things they didn't do.  Being accused of manhandling or unnecessary force is bad, but not career ending if the accusation is disproven, and being accused of assault, murder, or rape as a police, even if disproven, can be career ending.  Comprehensive investigations need to be done.  Real misdeeds need to be punished, false accusations need to be exposed.  This circle-the-wagons-automatically thing needs to end.  POLICE need to start demanding outside investigation so that they have the benefits of CYA without the horrid stink of it hanging over every honest police officer. By the way, does anyone else believe that a prisoner, in full view of other officers, managed to A) smoke or swallow marijuana and then B) hang herself in her cell?  Or, for that matter, either A or B alone?  Seriously, they have those cells observed 24/7 so that they don't do shit like cut their wrists or hang themselves with their belts\shoelaces\underwear\garbage sacks.  I call BS on the garbage sack idea, those cells DON'T HAVE GARBAGE SACKS IN THEM.  They don't even have toilets with SEATS on them in those cells.  Either this police force is lying or incompetent.  So, I guess I answered my own question on why they have a chronic and bewilderingly obvious case of CYA.
