In case anyone was wondering why Acevedo was protecting Javi Ortiz, this New Times article leaves no doubt:

Javi gave Acevedo the news story that he wanted early on to pretend he was "fighting corruption." In return, Acevedo protected the most corrupt cop in the department from discipline, gave him a cushy job with a raise and even made a reprimand disappear for him.

Javi was so grateful he gave the Chief a car wash in an ACTUAL TRAFFIC CRASH COVERUP. Now he's filing for whistleblower protection to avoid being implicated in the Acevedo crash coverup. Incredible.
