"I don't want to make things up ever" but " to protect a cop, I'm gonna"

"We'll do a little Walt Disney to protect the cop because it wouldn't have mattered because she is drunk anyway."

Alexandra Gabriela Torrensvilas, 23, of Hollywood, ended up charged with four counts of drunken driving and cited for improper lane change.

On Tuesday, Hollywood police officials placed Officer Dewey Pressley, 42, Officer Joel Francisco, 36, Sgt. Andrew Diaz, 39; and civilian Community Service Officer Karim Thomas, age unavailable; on administrative duty pending an internal affairs investigation and a review by the Broward State Attorney's Office, said spokesman Lt. Scott Pardon.
Public Defender Howard Finkelstein on Tuesday sent a letter to Hollywood Police Chief Chadwick Wagner calling for answers and accountability.

"Not only did these officers make a conscious decision to shift the blame to this young woman, but they made a concerted effort to write a narrative to fit 'their facts,' " Finkelstein wrote.

He said his office has at least 27 pending cases in which these four officers are listed as material state witnesses.

Pardon, the police department's spokesman, declined to respond to the allegations. "We'll see where the investigation goes," he said.

This was over a year ago anyone from California heard any news about this case?

1. It's not from California, it's from Florida.

And when it happened, it made local news for a while.

On edit: Since it broke over the summer, I don't believe there's been any further word. The investigation is probably still ongoing.

2. O sure, Walt Disney is in Florida too-thanks.

5. Yeah, I know it's confusing. Not just for Disney, but also because of Hollywood.

CA and FL both have one of each.

And the poster below is right that all five cops were fired:

3. It was in Florida and the 5 officers were fired

4. Really... I wonder what the investigation came up with for reasons to fire.

I know from the video it shows how they planned to fix the evidence. But I wonder what evidence they fixed because Torrensvilas said she is disputing the blood level they reported?

I looked up Hollywood Florida, and found an interview this women did with the Today Show: an exclusive interview on "The Today Show," Alexandra Torrensvilas said she first saw the video of the February arrest two weeks ago, and it made the whole incident make sense.
"It confirmed everything that I thought," Torrensvilas said. "I knew that's not what happened that night."

Torrensvilas said the damage has already been done.
"My reputation was, you know...you can't buy that back," she said.http://www.nbcmiami.com/news/local-beat/Woman-in-Hollywood-PD-Frame-Shame-Speaks-52352337.html

6. Isn't doctoring the evidence reason enough?

Regardless of whether or not Torrensilvas was drunk, she wasn't at fault in the accident. But the police colluded to make it look like she was.
