Small(er) town, 28,000 odd population. Which probably means a smaller PD.
Either:
- PD is small enough that anger over misconduct can override union solidarity/Blue-Flu etc.
- It's a symptom of a larger fight/animosity between the PD (or it's union) and the town.
- The officers accused of misconduct aren't liked, popularity/clique issues going on.
I think it would have more meaning if the police union of a major city were to do this.
