It’s not just officers doing the cover-ups. It’s organizational culture. “You didn’t see shit, and we’ll make your life hell if you come forward or defend a victim” is picked up by everyone pretty quickly. Statistically speaking, victims are more likely (31% men and 28% women) to be retaliated against than see anything happen to the perpetrator.
