Superintendent Wayne Rideout testified that he did not correct falsified reports in the media because his “...belief at the time is we needed to protect the facts we were gathering”. [LINK]
ARGH!!!
Excuse me.
The Medical Examiner that performed the autopsy testified that he was left with the false impression that Mr. Dziekanski was tasered just twice, as opposed to five times for 31 seconds.
So this failure to correct the false media reports also extends to misleading the medical examiner. Which is criminal.
They could have told the M.E. about the five taser shocks and asked him to keep the info to himself.
But they didn't.
Which is highly indicative.

I dont know about the taser but you cannot influence a pathologist in the execution of his duty. If the cops had provided opinion or information to the pathologist, it would be highly improper. The coroner is the one to be given information for his inquiry. The pathologist has a duty to perform without interference.
Hello Sal, thanks for your comment.
Reading between the lines, I believe that we're in basic agreement about letting people do their jobs without unethical influence.
I've replied in the blog with all the background.
