You do realize that law enforcement cannot file criminal charges? Only the DA's office, or equivalent, can do that. It's not at all uncommon for the DA to charge a person with a crime that is not the same as the charge they were arrested for. Law enforcement investigates a crime and then makes an arrest when applicable. They then submit their findings to the DA who decides what charges, if any, should be filed in court. So there is zero ability for law enforcement to "sweep killings under the rug" beyond completely falsifying investigation results.

Oh, dear lord. Of course not, which is why the actual evidence gathered during an investigation is reviewed by the DA to see what, if any, criminal charges should be filed in court. I'm actually starting to understand the confusion in this thread though. The complete ignorance of many to the actual criminal justice process and how charges are filed is rather illuminating. And here I thought Law and Order was a popular set of shows.
