Yawn. Read up on Kaminski. Took the stand, bold faced lied right to the court to protect a fellow officer accused of assaulting a citizen despite video evidence. The judge tore him a new one, eventually charges for perjury (and assault with a weapon) were filed but eventually dropped due to delays.
What did the CPS do to Kaminski for lying to the court to protect the officer? They voted him in as the Union President. They protect each other on a regular basis and are very very clearly rewarded by one another for it.
But far more concerning than the reward for protecting one another is the punishment for not. This is what happens when Calgary police, even internally, speak out:

“I believe and expected that the CPS would hear concerns and complaints and act to remedy the problems. I did not expect to be blamed and disliked for taking a stand for what was right, nor did I expect my career with the CPS would be sacrificed,” Ward said, her voice breaking with emotion.
