I don't see how this guy would have gotten away with this murder even if there was no video, barring a corrupt investigation.
Now you are getting it.
So, you're immediately assuming that the PD's IA and the South Carolina State Bureau of Investigations would have been so corrupt as to overlook, discount, bury, or otherwise change evidence that damning? Based upon what, exactly?
The video hangs this guy fast. The evidence would have likely hung him anyway.
No, not necessarily, but then again, maybe so. I don't trust anyone. The video shows that there was another cop right there on the scene. I should have been apparent pretty much right away what happened. Yet, until the video came out, all we got was the same old standard press release from the department as usual in these sorts of cases.
You all act as if corruption is unknown and/or unthinkable. It isn't. It is a fact of life. It happens all the time all over the place.
No reason to trust anyone about anything.

Actually, what he is attempting to say is that the partner, the forensic scientists, the coroner's office, the Internal Affairs office, and all the investigators from the state bureau of investigation would all put their careers on the line to cover up a blatantly unjustified shoot.
That, of course, with no proof on his part that any such thing has happened in that area or within all those multiple levels.
If you actually think about it, it becomes far less plausible, but that does actually require thought.
