We're the Only Ones Lawyering Up Enough

Why did the officer not agree to be interviewed? [More]
The fact that he's clamming up and letting his attorney take over is to be expected and isn't the "Only One" component of this story. Aside from his "highly trained superiority," try telling a cop you have nothing to say without advice of counsel and then prepare for an attitude change and the "Am I being detained or am I free to go?" routine.

Hey, if you didn't do anything wrong, what have you got to hide?

Update
Mohamed Noor has not spoken to state investigators about why he shot Justine Damond in Minneapolis on Saturday - but has given an account to friends

The Minneapolis Police Department's Wikipedia page has been edited to include this note about it's Chief-

"Janee Harteau, who lets cops murder innocent people"

BTW, Janee Harteau is a Lesbian. She is Minneapolis' first female Chief of Police.

Cop unions claim cops have a right not to incriminate themselves.

And I wonder if anyone here sees similarities with Lon Horiuchi?

I was taught to 'know your target' -- what can justify firing your weapon through a door?
