Ever.
I lived through the riots and saw and heard cops making up evidence. And forcing witness statements. I never trust law enforcement to be honest. I've seen them lie to my face personally, and stole 200 dollars from my husbands wallet while I was looking straight at the guy. Never got the money back, cause he lied.

They need to get rid of their bad apples and start telling the truth and then the first response wouldn't be for people to think they're lying.

Plenty of witness statements given to law enforcement have been coerced.
