They deliberately and callously beat the man to death. To argue otherwise, with the evidence at hand and their tampering with the evidence they illegally confiscated, shows a blatant misunderstanding of the what happened according to witness statements. Even their boss called in the FBI. Your failed attempt to cover for these murderers calls your "logic" and thinking into question.
I'm covering for murders because I call out your misuse of words?
You are projecting way too much.
