The Buffalo Police Department has put five officers on administrative leave as it continues to investigate the department’s response to the incident last April in which Erie County Sheriff Narcotics Chief D.J. Granville hit seven parked cars in his county-owned pickup truck. Police also, on the day the statute of limitations was set to expire, issued citations to Granville for leaving the scene of an accident.

Granville, is the so-called “blue wall of silence” — the unwritten understanding that law enforcement officers protect one another by refusing to report or corroborate wrongdoing among their ranks. For nearly a year Granville has been protected by that code.

Last year the sheriff's narcotics chief, in a county vehicle late at night, hit a bunch of parked cars. His sister-in-law, a Buffalo cop, oversaw the police response. No consequences, except for taxpayers who paid for the damage. Nothing to see here: https://t.co/fi5KdQ7qCB
