Can confirm. A close friend of a family member was run over while riding his bicycle by a drunk cop, and his cop father helped to try and cover it up.

Putting out this kind of press release when CT cops have their own skeletons does nothing but demonstrate a lack of self awareness. And it's in really poor taste in my opinion.

5 different departments wouldn’t hire him and he almost failed out of CCSU criminology program. Daddy got him a job though.

Qualified immunity may soon be gone. I know it’s been on the table here for a while but I think they may take it away soon.

They just strengthened it by accident via some bill. Idk.
