1. I hope

This means an investigation into the original statement put out by the police. It was a blatant cover-up of a murder, and had the kid not captured the video it would have been successful.

2. Indeed.

I am no longer surprised by the police lying. But the original statement had more BS than even the most cynical person would have imagined.

6. This investigation will be a pattern and practice investigation

That will no doubt include the attempt to hide this crime as was attempted by the misleading press release

5. The ONLY problem is...

...this is making Mock Turtle and his cronies pat themselves on the back for not giving him his due when he was the SCOTUS nominee.
