Eyewitness testimony conflicts sharply on the question of how close they were in pursuit of the Mercedes. But most witnesses, including the first two policemen on the scene, paint an unflattering picture of their antics in the wake of the accident, when they hovered around the car, insulted one another and vied for the best photo angles.

Gibson and Glover turn the cops' bad habit of saving serious conversations for the middle of serious...
