An official ONGOING police investigation is the very definition of a confidential process.
If Zullo was a real Arizona LEO he broke the law.
This is proof that Sheriff Joe’s posse are not considered public officer’s in the eyes of the law.
Ummm, they held a PRESS CONFERENCE to release the findings. It’s not a confidential matter. Way to disprove your own point.
