ACLU unhappy with results of Vallejo police’s badge-bending lawsuit

The ACLU says the report shields department leadership after finding badge bending violated policy but was not tied to fatal shootings.

Summary by The Mercury News
Allegations surfaced nearly six years ago that a group of officers secretly “commemorated fatal shootings with beers, backyard barbecues, and by bending the points of their badges” each time someone was killed in the line of duty.
