Yes, it's quite possible that the police chief declined to be interviewed, under advice from legal council. I would imagine that there will always be some exceptions, but my guess is that the great majority of our citizenry would not file a lawsuit, if the perpetuators of mistakes like these would promptly fess up to the mistake, and take immediate steps to make the victim whole again. It seems not only immoral, but also foolish to leave a victim of your mistake hanging in a difficult position for days on end, due to your mistake. This gives the suffering victim too much time to think in terms of retaliation. But then, I may be a victim of my own wishful thinking.
