The other side of it is if the department is being... let's call it audited for lack of a better word, they can't say much of anything.

That they suspended them with pay says there is some degree of uncertainty as to what is going on.

It might be that one officer was doing something wrong. Or it may be that the entire department was either up to shenanigans or turning a blind eye.

Or perhaps the council is up to shenanigans.

Either way there is not enough information in the article to make any sort of judgment.

No, not enough information. But I watch a lot of videos about police/citizen encounters and I see a lot of what I’d call abuse of power involved even though the officers managed to lead into coming up with enough charges to arrest a detainee with. Interestingly enough a lot of those situations involve officers who were tatted-up pretty good on their arms and looked like they worked out on steriods.
