It is the cops statements that are inconsistant with one another, but the "cops can do no wrong" crowd will never acknowledge that fact.
I'm curious as to whether boot polish is preferred as a main course, or does one use it as a condiment?
Don’t tase me Bro!
I am just a sarcastic old cynic with a lifetime of experience. Since the individuals you noted as giving contradictory sworn statements were both officers of the State, as a practical matter your question of “who is lying” is purely an arcane philosphical exercise. I do salute you for asking the question.
