We had a case in the UK where a Police Inspector instructed police officers to rewrite their notebooks so that they reflected the official version of events rather than what actually happened.  The reports were accepted for about 10 years, then the individual police officers realised, the fans always knew, and the judges also realised  that they had been hoodwinked and pressurised into giving a false account of what actually happened.  And that was a football case where hundreds died due to police recklessness of organising and containing the crowd in the stands at a football match, so that when they tried to enter the stand, many of them were crushed to death because the stands were already full.

A leaked Louisville Metro Police Department memo shows investigators had more evidence than previously made public showing a connection between Breonna Taylor and the main target of the narcotics probe that led officers to barge into her home the night she was shot dead by police.

But the memo was written several weeks after Taylor’s death and includes details that weren't provided to the judge in the search warrant application as well as evidence that came to light after her death —prompting critics to slam it as an effort to smear Taylor and justify the deadly police raid.

The leaked memo, obtained by NBC News, addresses why the officers sought a warrant to enter Taylor’s apartment but says nothing about the use of force or other possible violations of Louisville police department policy, such as the blind firing of bullets into neighboring apartments.

“Breonna Taylor’s death was a tragedy. Period,” said Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer, who called the leak an effort to “sway opinion and impact the investigation.”

"It is deeply reckless for this information, which presents only a small fraction of the entire investigation, to be shared with the media while the criminal process remains ongoing,” Fischer added.
