The situation is that when someone in "law enforcement" or associated with them is killed, the "law enforcement" types want to see someone punished. As a case a few years ago (where the cops shot a "suspect" who had NOTHING to do with the crime) demonstrates, the cops are more interested in SOMEONE getting "punished" NOW rather than the actual guilty party being punished at some future time. Slightly OT: My "take" on why the cops went to town looking for the "white vans" and ignored the equally valid "clue" about the blue Caprice was that there are like still a few "undercover" caprices with "real" cops running about. You combine trigger happy cops (with their SWAT weapons and attitudes) with plain clothes, armed cops and it would be only a matter of time before you have a dead cop at the hands of another cop.
