I imagine in a few years there will be reports of police departments and various reporting agencies to "not report that" and the order "comes from the top".
- klyrs 2y agoIt's hard to take such a conspiracy theory credibly. Police are consistently conservative with a strong authoritarian bent. Even in so-called "blue" cities, cops vote Trump. Thin blue line, defund, all that. To suppose that the police have been consistently, across the entire country, coordinating this massive coverup for the sake of Democratic talking points, is beyond absurd. Not a single Trump-loving whistleblower, across how many police departments in the country? Absurd.
