One of their cops was drunk on duty. He ran over three motorcyclists with his cruiser, killing one and injuring the other two. They did a blood-alcohol test on him and the result was 0.19 BAC, which is damn near 2.5 times the legal limit.
The brass said that nobody noticed that he was drunk after the accident. SOP in Indy, though, is to do a blood draw for BAC when a cop is involved in an on-duty crash and that is what has the cop looking at a lot of prison time.
What they really don't like admitting is that someone who can have a 0.19 BAC and act completely normal is a really serious drinker. There is no way that he could have been drinking like that without other cops knowing about it. This guy was soused on the job, driving a heavy Crown Vic, carrying a gun, and the Blue Curtain descended to make sure that nobody saw nothing, nobody said nothing and nobody did nothing about it.
Until he killed somebody.
The Blue Wall of Silence claims another dead bystander. Nothing ever changes.
