The trooper, who has been on the force for just over a year, has been placed on administrative leave for violating unspecified police procedures and the Department of Public Safety’s courtesy policy. The agency would not address questions about whether the trooper acted appropriately by drawing his stun gun or pulling her out of the vehicle.
That is good. I think that is an appropriate action.
I don’t blame the family for wanting an independent autopsy. Hopefully that will answer questions for everyone.
HA!
