I'm shocked.

OK, so not really shocked at all.
A Washington DC police officer made the stunning admission that he was told to omit from a report the fact that a federal agent fired multiple times at a driver during a traffic stop.
The officer’s admission comes amid a series of shootings involving federal agents deployed to cities under the Donald Trump administration. It also reflects a broader pattern in which charges brought by federal agents are often dismissed once they reach court.
Last week, Metropolitan police department (MPD) officer Jason Sterling testified in court that he had been instructed by a “team leader” not to disclose details of a Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agent firing three times at a man, Phillip Brown, in Washington DC during a traffic stop earlier this month, according to the man’s lawyer, Quo Mieko S Judkins, Washington City Paper first reported.
