So much for the wall of silence, huh? Perhaps if it were an accident involving alcohol this particular officer might have gotten off with just minor charges. It's a disgusting thing to think about, but at least here in Canada, it's happened before.

Cop tells Taman inquiry he was too busy to notice colleagues' drinking

Essentially, a city cop is out all night yucking it up and drinking with his good ol' boy cop buddies, drives home drunk and kills some poor woman, who leaves behind several young children and a grieving husband. Nobody mentions in the police report that he was drunk when the accident happened. The truth came out in the trial, but nothings going to come of it I assure you.

Welcome to the police state.
