"internal department investigation" Why do I equate those words to "damage control" when I hear or read those words?

Why do feel such incredible shock and pain when I hear of a cop losing their life to a violent act comitted against them?

Why do I feel complete outrage when I see utter and complete cowardness and brutality committed by the police against a subdued suspect?

The only apology they made was for getting caught on tape.

Not for the action itself.

If we wanted Gestapo troops like the King County Sheriff has we wouldn't BE Seattle.
