I'm glad to see the protests expanding. People need to step up the protests until they get some answers. I have a feeling that if the video backed up the officers story it would have been released already.

The police investigating themselves has to stop.
Hey Pknopp, as you seem to be ignorant of how police shootings are reviewed, here's your Cliff Note on the topic.
An officer gets involved in a shooting on duty.
Step One: The officer is placed on either desk duty or administrative leave and not to be back on the streets until cleared.
Step Two: The evidence (body cam, physical evidence and witness testimony) is brought before a....now get this...."INDEPENDENT CIVILIAN REVIEW BOARD," and the board renders its decision as to whether the matter should be considered justifiable in the line of duty, or moved on to the District Attorney for possible criminal charges.
Step Three: If the shooting is considered justified, the officer is notified by his/her department and can return to patrolling the streets. Even if ignorant/uneducated public is angry about it.
Step Four: If the shooting is judged not justified, the officer is informed that he/she is no longer on the police force, should obtain a lawyer and must report to the police department for processing. The officer is given a hearing before a judge, whereupon he/she is asked to enter his/her plea (guilty or not guilty). If the officer pleads not guilty, the judge will arrange for a trial date, of which he/she will be notified. Also at this hearing, the decision of whether there will be a bond so that he/she may be free until the trial, or no bond and must remain in custody until the trial.
That is the brief, overall description of how it works. Actual Civilian Review Boards make the decision as to whether to move forward with a prosecution or not.
Last: Pknopp, we are aware that you are and have been a Communist and want this nation to become divided and conquered by Communism. It isn't going to happen.
