The city’s investigator also described four witnesses who alleged that White’s abuse of his first wife was much worse than has been previously disclosed, and included allegations of him holding her face to a stove, burning her hair, and kicking and choking her. The investigator wrote “it was confirmed” that White’s former wife “repeatedly reported both physical and mental abuse” to the department but the department’s internal affairs office did not investigate until she sought a restraining order in May 1999.
The report also documented the department’s pattern of protecting its own. The city’s investigator tried to contact 21 witnesses regarding White, but only seven agreed to speak to her.
The police department that has a history of protecting child rapists has a history of protecting domestic abusers. Go figure.
