With Hillsborough, although I don't think you can "blame" anyone for their actions at the time, the argument seems to be that the incident was covered up, lied about and blame put on others to absolve the Police.

Maybe if they had come clean at the beginning we would not have this mess now.

I agree completely.

What is horribly ironic is that one of those found out to have altered statements after the event, went on to be the Police Chief on Merseyside.
