what's going on with their training? where is this irrational fear coming from?
and why did two cops think they could say what they wanted on their report, when they knew the camera caught the whole thing? were they just betting no one would view it? probably. the police have to get used to not getting benefit of the doubt like they used to.

It's lack of accountability. Very seldom do they face repercussions for bad behavior on the job, so why bother to do differently? After all, it's the taxpayers that have to pony up for the settlements, not the cops.
Start taking the fines out of the police's pension funds instead, and you'd see changes real quick, because there would be consequences.
