So the sail boat's insurance company doesn't like its chances of winning

case in court, and wants to try it in the press instead. Why am I not
surprised?


What surprises me is how the police obviously are engaging in some sort of
cover-up with the shenanigans as to the officer's blood alcohol test as he
was seen operating in a reckless manner by witnesses on shore.

You need to learn a bit more skepticism. Remember, the article was written
by the insurance company that's on the hook for any injuries caused by its
insured's negligence. It was an advocacy piece, deliberately attempting to
slant the facts one way. Notice how many instances of conflicting versions
of the facts there are? Notice how the insurance company tries as hard as
it
can to have you resolve those conflicts in its favor? It's written like a
trial brief, not like a news story.

I am basing my conclusion more on my knowledge of how corrupt most police
departments these days are. I've seen it time and time again. Right or
wrong, the police circle the wagons and protect their own unless there is
overwhelming evidence against them such as a video clearly showing them
beating the crap out of somebody for no good reason . . .

Long live Rodney King!
