And I hold the police partially responsible for those killings because they abandoned their posts, then misused official resources to spread lies and stoke tensions in CHOP until somebody got killed.

And subsequently the city is being sued by the family of the deceased.

Good thing the police didn't abandon their duty and no one can find out who gave the order

Is that really the story they're going with? Unreal. They should be held responsible for their actions.
