I’m surprised anything was done about this. Rampantly corrupt police departments are the norm, judging by the videos made of people trying to file a complaint againt a policeman at mutiple departments, among other things. Cops have had no oversight or accountability for a long time.

Yup this is the problem with digital news. It isn’t naturally archivable. You can’t go to a library and check old issues of stuff that was removed from digital storage.
