easy target.
One police officer shoots someone, so all police are basically bad and totally new world order and baw and shit I better stay home and tell the internet that the police are to blame for everything because they shot a suspect. In fact, applying very similar logic, I could conclude that the police are people and one of them shot an innocent person so that means all people are fucking pigs and I hate them and baw and suchlike *wrings hands*

It was more the closing of ranks, covering of tracks etc (see below)
that I think people found a little ... distasteful.

I would be inclined to suggest that the backtracking and bullshit was the politics and politicians involved in the matter
as well as the higher ranking officers (who lost their jobs) talking shit and trying to defend themselves and their authority as an institution. I don't think their handling of a difficult situation should reflect badly on the average bobby.
