Given how someone has already pointed out that a person has basically confessed already, I think it would be imprudent to rule out the more mundane possibility that the cops in question really are that shitty at their jobs and that this has mostly been the thin blue line trying to cover for their own initial incompetence.

Yep, odds are the shooter's parents are buddies/family with the cops or they go to the same church. I can just see it, the shooter told some story about it being an accident (and for all we know it was but that doesn't matter) and then it's "his life can't be ruined over an accident with an out-of-towner". Fuck this shit.

Here’s a thought… since they very clearly are lying about so much else, maybe they’re lying about that too. Either to create a reasonable doubt for the guy they are clearly trying to protect, or to cover for their earlier incompetence/lies in not immediately finding/disclosing the gunshot wound.

If you have a need for some rural areas there is some really interesting stuff in central and eastern Washington -generally some places that look unique and unfamiliar (to folks not from Washington at least) may be useful for creating a sci-fi world that doesn't just feel like Seattle with a few special effects.

  • Any number of modern looking airbnbs in the middle of nowhere
  • Channeled Scablands
  • Frenchman Coulee
  • Idk what of it could be accessed to film (safely and legally) at but there's all the old Hanford stuff out by Richland
  • Plenty of small eastern WA farm towns that basically look abandoned
  • Pioneer cemeteries
  • Wind farms
  • The wheat fields outside of Pullman post harvest will look like a post apocalyptic landscape
  • Ghost towns like Bodie
  • Leavenworth if you need a scene to take place in Bavaria for some reason or want to trap a character in a simulation thats looks like a tourist trap made up city

It's kind of incredible how little sense any of the stories make... Like if I saw a movie where a criminal or the police came up with these excuses, I would say it's terrible writing - nobody would put forward a story that stupid, and expect anyone to buy it.
