Not saying that he wasn't a total nutjob, but surely you've heard of the [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue_Code_of_Silence"]Blue Code of Silence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/ame]. You know, the unspoken rule that anyone who speaks out against your fellow officers would be shunned and outcast? This is a documented and well-known thing. He may have been wrong, he may have been right, but if he
was right, this would prevent anyone from saying anything.
"It’s called the Blue Code of Silence, an unwritten rule among police officers not to rat on a fellow officer. Many feel it’s futile to challenge the blue code, because doing so could mean breaking longstanding traditions and feelings of brotherhood within law enforcement. Violating the silence could lead to being shunned, losing friends, losing back-up, receiving threats, having one’s own misconduct exposed and being terminated."
