Naturally, other cops are not going to criticize one of their own for a shooting - even a bad one. They need to present a unified front in order to maintain public support. How many more people would start to dislike police if they appeared to be fighting amongst themselves?
I'm not bashing or trying to justify their actions, just offering a possible explanation. Also, the us vs them mentality is greater in the LE field than most others, so they're going to tend to stick together. Once again, not bashing - just stating things the way I see them (and the way I was taught by other police officers).
