The pattern here is that the city police force “investigates” any Sheriff’s department shootings. And the Sheriff’s department investigates any city PD shootings.
and then they wonder why almost no one trusts them.
The people investigating and determining facts should, in NO circumstances, be part of law enforcement or ever have been part of law enforcement. Cops, like doctors almost never turn on their own.
Guilty until proved innocent, ANYONE working for the government; cop, politician, judge.
And external prosecutors who never have to work with normal law enforcementt. If the cops don’t spike the investigation the prosecutors half ass the case, because nothing kills a career like having police decide you’re anti-cop and blowing your future cases.
