2. Weren't the officers seen drinking in the bar before the shooting?

I have not seen that in any story yet, but I seem to remember that at that time. Seems like that aspect of the story has gone away.
Am I wrong?

3. No surprise there

but the cops have the civil lawsuits to deal with. Their bad days are not yet over.
