We're the Only Ones Going Swimmingly Enough

Cobb police SWAT team member Sgt. Ken Reda, 37, and Shelley Powell, also 37, were both charged with making false statements and obstruction, allegedly lying about who was on the boat and the circumstances around the accident. [More]
That's the thing about tolerating a culture of lying. Those who can bring themselves to lie for you when your butt is on the line can also bring themselves to lie against you when it's their butts...

Hell of a thing, not knowing when the backup you're relying on, at times with your life, may turn on you and opt for self-preservation. Can you imagine dying and your supposed "friends" cover up the circumstances? If they'd do that low, what wouldn't they cover up, especially if someone who means nothing to them is involved?

Kind of an unintended consequence, wouldn't you say? The cost that comes permanently attached to the perceived benefits of the "Only Ones" culture...you can trust no one?

Talk about miserable. It's enough to give someone an attitude.

And to think how many juries automatically accept the word of testifying officers over suspects.

I wonder how many times these two have been called to testify...?
