That's bogus. It's no wonder Ferguson residents perceived this as police protecting one of their own over a young black kid's civil rights, with hints of a cover-up.
So should a police department defend their own when they believe their own did the right thing? Pointing out that the alleged 'victim' was a brutal thug seems very relevant to the situation.
