force the players to cooperate

They have cooperated; even offered to take lie detector tests, but the police told them that it wasn't necessary.

They all talked to the police within the first few days.

I think the DA was trying to intimidate via media and now that it failed they are engaged in CYA.

The only cooperate that will save the DA is a confession.
