The Land of Enscandalment huh.
Especially when it comes to APD. They have had so many shootings in which surviving family members received large settlements and rarely have the officers been relieved of duty.
APD has a new police chief that was asked in a press conference if he felt this latest shooting, of the homeless man, was justified and he said yes.
He evidently got taken to the woodshed by the Mayor because on the next night’s news the new chief was saying “he was caught off guard” by the question and shouldn’t have said something that quickly and no, it doesn’t appear to be justified.
The Justice Dept. has been asked to review it and it wasn’t that long ago that the Justice Dept. did an in-depth investigation of APD’s use of force. In fact, I don’t believe the final paperwork on that has been delivered. Could be wrong on that though.
