***Meanwhile, the Cookeville Police Department has instigated a third-party examination of the situation. A police chief in Gaithersburg, Md., will conduct an independent investigation. ***

It was in Maryland that the FBI (assisting local LEOs following a bank robbery) made a felony stop of the wrong car and shot the fellow in the passenger seat in his face, when he reached for his seatbelt buckle, trying to comply with the order to get out of the car. They then took many minutes to call for an ambulance.

I do not have much hope for reasonable results of this investigation.

Two words: Alberto Sepulveda. 11-years old, shot in the back as he lay on the floor during a SWAT raid. No criminal charges filed. I don't expect much of a stink over a dog, considering.

It looks like the TN police found a compliant dept to do the "independent" 3rd party review. Someone should tell them the MD dept cleared the FBI agent in blowing the eagle scout's face off with an M-16 point blank at a mistaken traffic stop when the victim was trying to both "FREEZE! DON'T MOVE!" and "GET OUT! GET OUT NOW" as multiple commands were screamed at him. He trie to unbuckle his seat belt and the FBI SWAT agent shot him in the face.
