What smoking gun?
So I was talking to a public official yesterday and he asked me an interesting question;
“Who is doing an independent review and investigation of the Tuthill shooting?â€
I told him that it seems they are reviewing it themselves (SFPD). He pointed out to me that since the SFPD doesn’t have an internal affairs department that normally if they have an officer use their firearm in a related shooting incident, the Sheriff’s office or the state DCI investigates it.
Maybe they are, maybe they aren’t. Will we ever know what happened?
The police force has grown and there’s been enough incidents. It’s time for an internal affairs unit. There used to be a civil service procedure for city employee complaints. Presently, there’s no complaint or ethics process. How can the police be policed? I’ve walked into city personnel. There’s rarely someone there. When you say you have a complaint, they angrilly push you out the door.
Dan, I know what you are saying, but this isn’t the issue here, unless someone comes forward and says they didn’t much like being shot at multiple times. This is more of a procedural investigation.
Uh Dan, the City website says their PD does have an internal unit called Professional Standards. Try again.
Stu actually wrote a great column about this;
