And I’m sure there is more to the story...
...
As your article states, there is more to the story, and a formal investigation, but that’s not going to stop some people from using the incident to agitate people against the police before the investigation is complete.
... unless, of course, it’s the police investigating the police, in which case the obvious conflict of interest will, if anything, make people even more agitated.
Ever notice that when a non-officer individual is seemingly caught on video committing an apparent (or actual) crime, the police never tell us that there is “more to the story”, while when an officer is involved, the excuse is always “there is more to the story?
There is a claim that a 911 call was made (no transcript as yet) and no statement from anyone other than from the police (no conflict of interest, there).
The “formal investigation” is the department investigating itself.
No conflict of interest, there.
Any intelligent child, would love to (if allowed) conduct a “formal investigation” concerning parental accusations of childish misbehavior. Any parent who allowed a child to do so and accepted those findings, would be foolish.
Shame on us, as a society, for letting the magical-costumed ones attempt to pull the same trick.
