2. “A defendant deals with the police as a single entity. He is not required to differentiate among city, parish or state officials, or officers who might have been working another shift when his attorney instructed that he not give any statements. Once the defendant has "... expressed his desire to deal with the police only through counsel," Edwards v. Arizona, supra, at 484, 101 S.Ct. at 1885 , all successive officers who deal with the defendant are held to have knowledge of this fact.”
