My assumption is that the point was that theres no real reason to cast doubts on the investigation of something like this and instead go to other sources like an uninvolved union rep for what happened.
Yeah pretty much. Necessary function with no big incentive to do sketchy shit. Not my best phrasing, still fuck cops obviously. Just “They have no incentive to lie and they probably have access to the most information here”
I mean just at the basic level that most people kind of care about doing their job when it doesn’t conflict with other interests - Cops just usually have other interests that conflict with doing good things, or their job is explicitly to do bad. Plus “Alec Baldwin killed someone” is pretty interesting and I bet even cops are like “Huh that’s interesting I want to know how that happened”
why not

I mean it seems to put forth they'd give a shit here about clearing this up and running that assumption, why would they?
