However, let's take a step back and remember that eye witness testimony is often contradictory between witnesses and that if you have an allegiance to someone (your family member, coworker, whomever) you are inclined to believe their account and if your adrenaline is pounding because you realize that person is in danger it can distort your perception and make you see or want to see something differently. So maybe the other cops are just horrible liars or maybe they gave their friend the benefit of the doubt and thought they saw or wanted to see things they didn't in the heat of the moment. As someone else said, let the investigation play out fully and let the system mete out punishment and hope for just outcomes for all involved.
One cops lies you indict the cop. All the cops lie and you have to start looking at the entire force. you can no longer say it was just one rogue cop when the others lie to protect him.
