This is horrible. The police are covering up so much. I'm no expert in reading people based on their body movements, facial expressions, or anything, but it is so clear that the police are covering things up just by judging the chief of police's face and everything he does during the interview. The way he pauses and has a blank look on his face when asked if his officers blackmailed the girl, how he is stuttering, how he doesn’t give straight answers, or how vague he is on the details of how much marijuana she had on her, it all points to a cover up or protecting their own asses.
The biggest problem with what the officers were doing was the initial bust they were planning. They were using a person with no experience in this type of undercover line of work. Instead of trying to get the dealer on a small offense (Which they could of use as a way to get warrants for their homes and things they own to check for more illegal activates), they start her off to high. She also never met any of these two before, so the dealers would already automatically be suspicious, especially since what the police were trying to get her to buy from them. So, with no training, no one letting anyone else know about what is happening, and the police supposedly losing her on the way to the sting, it seems to me that this entire police sting was just a suicide mission and they knew she would almost be certainly killed.
All in all, this is just so wrong. Instead of taking the blame, the police are blaming the one person who cannot defend herself and tell what really happen. It was an entire smear campaign against her. Everyone, including the FBI, believes that this plan should have never happened and that it was flawed.
On the plus side though, I just researched the case and found that the 15 members involved in this case and have been indicted by a Grand Jury for negligent conduct. Here’s the article:
