The real story is the local Foxboro police department. The chief is the Patriots' head of security. No conflict of interest there.

What do you think happened?

Local police department, whose chief is also the head of security for the Patriots, tries to bury a potentially embarrassing incident for the team.

Really? Risk his career for an embarrassing incident?

To be fair, he probably figured that with just slight, hard to notice, editing no one would know and it's not like he was covering up a murder. I think he bent protocol, but know for a fact it happens in other cities too. Officers giving a pass to the home town team, or calling the teams babysitters to clean up isn't isolated to NE

I think that that's definitely possible. I think the way the narrative is presented sorta changes the connotations. They way PTR said it, it sounded like a Law and Order episode.

It's promo talking about the pats.... Of course it's going to sound dramatic. And who knows- it could be the tip of the iceberg... But police have plenty of conflicts of interest and side gigs and relationships and interests that can skew how they handle things.

 

If a guy dropped a 911 call off the record for a non-offense that would cause a lot of embarrassment, it's still a violation of protocol which is a slippery slope, but it doesn't equate 1:1 as proof of some nefarious scheme in place

Yup. Small town politics/police.

Except in this case the Foxboro chief of police is the Patriots head of security.

What if you were facing the Patriots in the playoffs and something like this would result in a game suspension for a Pats player, except the local cops covered it up? Still feel the same?
