This young man and his widow were in high school with my kids here in Nashville. I heard exactly what happened way back when it happened. This warrants a federal criminal investigation for civil rights violations and I have called both of my Senators and the White House and spoken to actual human beings about it as well as having e-mailed our Congressman. Mesa PD would not let the widow see the video and intimidated her about “going to the media”. They kept it all tightly wrapped until they got their punk cop acquitted. They had already fired him for other disregard of procedures and I think they just didn’t want to have to pay a huge financial settlement.
I wonder - ss there anything preventing the family from filing a civil suit against the cop - ala OJ?
