I don’t see it as the same thing at all, but whatever. My point is that since proper procedure is an oral report, it’s pretty tough to really say with assurance that they didn’t notify their supervisor. Which is what you claimed. If you consider that there is an official OIG memo by the investigating agent stating that the two supervisor’s at the scene are just as culpable in covering up the shooting as the agents, it certainly indicates that there is a strong possibility the two agents did notify their supervisor’s.Po-tay-toe, po-tat-o... I don't think we were arguing about anything substantial, ahenry. When I was using the term "paperwork", I was using it to describe whatever official procedure follows a BP shooting.
I agree that it is somewhat unclear if the agents jumped through the appropriate hoops or not. Can you say that they didn’t with enough assurance to use that omission as evidence of a crime? You certainly accuse them of "becom[ing] a vigilante and/or a criminal dumbass" as if you can.I only meant that cops really should jump through all the hoops of department policy when they discharge their firearms. From where I stand it is unclear if this was done in this case
