I think in most cases, fellow officers want to believe their brethren was doing what was right, and they understand the perils of the job combined with the ease in making a bad, split-second decision, so they might be willing to "fudge" things a bit. I don't think it's any kind of systemic problem as much as it's a bad decision with a..."good" (lack of a better word) intent.
They also want to CYA in case THEY are the next one. Human nature at work when you are in a closed group of people.
