Officer Says He Wonāt Testify Against Colleague In Gray Case
And is that not the exact definition of blue cover my/their azzzzzzzzzzzz. Does not matter what another blue does, he/she/it is always, always justified and the supposedly good cops look the other way.

Yep, he got off, and heās willing to get his friends off too. This is exactly what BLM is protesting about. As long as this shit happens, there will be law with no order.

If he wants to ātake the Fifth,ā he should do it on the stand, in front of the jury.
they could get married. canāt be forced to testify against the spouse. of course, there is another option. take the stand. tell the truth. hmm?
The prosecutor should offer immunity for anything he says while on the stand.
Cuz, you know, it isnāt like he swore to uphold the law or anything.

Then it should have been offered earlier.
He figures that heās safe and if this becomes ācops vs a dead manā, unless the district attorney knows something that could win them the case, Porter (n friends) have the better hand
And so the Blue Wall of Silence stands firm.

The jury canāt do anything about it though since this isnāt about his trial. I would say they should go ahead and re-try him first. Once they have a verdict on his case one way or the other, they can then compel him to testify and jail him for contempt if he doesnāt. Donāt know if that would violate the speedy trial rights of the other cops though.
I would think a sworn Law Enforcement Officer invoking the 5th would prove to be very damning to any jury, especially in this case.
Makes me wonder if these black cops have numbed themselves to their actions or if they just do it to keep their jobs and or not feel like they are going to be subjected to being put into the most hazardous duty?
