I don't think that is what the new Chief is saying ... or not saying.
FWIW I think it is highly unlikely that the guy who shot Ashli Babbitt is any kind of LEO or security.
I’ll step out there and agree with everything you said.
There is an investigation into the use of excessive force and an officer suspended. So he must be official law enforcement of some kind. If this was another George Floyd the officer’s name would be everywhere. Why is he so special and protected. The secracy is disturbing.
