That, in and of itself, is a messed up priority.
If I kill someone at work, I don't go talk to WorkSafe about it first.
I understand the necessity to shield police officers from reprisal and street justice, but if we're going to start saying shooting someone is first a work related matter and a criminal matter second, that's one ####ED UP standard.
Honestly, say it out loud, "But these murder cases that involve cops are usually treated as work incidents".
That's something I'd read in the onion.
