Yes, the police do have the privilege of internally investigating an officer before declaring that the investigated officer has been cleared of wrongdoing.
Internal investigations are inherently untrustworthy. Particularly when they are conducted by government agencies.
Are you still waiting for the government to tell you the “Current Truth” or are you willing to believe the eyewitness testimony of those present?
I agree that too many dogs are shot without much thought but take a timeout and let the authorities do their jobs. This is an article written from the dog owner’s perpective(kind of like the race-baiters and the Treyvon Martin shooting)while the police sit back and say no comment
If it happened like the article states, someone should be fired. Until all facts are in, lets stop running around with torches and pitchforks calling for someone’s head. If I believed everything I read, I would have thought George Zimmerman was guilty just because Jessie and Al said so.
