No doubt that when all of the evidence is examined in light of departmental UOF training, she'll be vindicated. The DA is an elected official after all, and is politically safe from most criticism by sending it through the process.

I'll criticize him anyway. I think he's a POS who should be voted out of office in 2018.

Pistol-whipped detective says he didn't shoot attacker because of headlines

(CNN)A Birmingham, Alabama, police detective who was pistol-whipped unconscious said Friday that he hesitated to use force because he didn't want to be accused of needlessly killing an unarmed man.

"A lot of officers are being too cautious because of what's going on in the media," said the officer, who asked to remain anonymous for the safety of his family. "I hesitated because I didn't want to be in the media like I am right now."
Details of last week's incident in the Birmingham enclave of Roebuck remain sketchy -- such as how did the suspect get the officer's weapon -- but the six-year police veteran said he didn't shoot the man who attacked him during a traffic stop because of the outcry surrounding a spate of police shootings nationally.
"We don't want to be in the media," he said. "It's hard times right now for us."

Well if he's willing to use an "expendable" officer's life to exercise that safety, I'll go one better and say he needs recalled. I mean why wait? :anyone:
