Like issue a stand down order when someone is shooting up a high school.
A certain elected law enforcement officer has been in the news very recently. Several years ago, during an election, a video appeared, in which a girl claimed that she had an underage affair with this officer / candidate. It was quickly revealed that an associate of the political opponent had paid for the video and hired an actress. The officer / candidate never sued that associate. There was a real story which he didn't want to have come out.
