'Charge' is one thing. 'Convict' is another. We shall see. But the recent conviction of theTexan lady officer that killed the guy in his apartment - gives me hope.Dang, didn't expect this outcome... Just and FYI, Williamson County is very, very conservative and is adjacent to Travis County which is very, very liberal. Austin is the county seat of Travis County.
A Texas grand jury has indicted Williamson County Sheriff Robert Chody on an evidence tampering charge in the destruction of reality TV show footage that showed deputies chasing and using force on a Black man who died last year.
Williamson County District Attorney Shawn Dick and Travis County District Attorney Margaret Moore opened a joint investigation in June, a week after the Austin American-Statesman, part of the USA TODAY Network, and KVUE-TV revealed details of Ambler’s death and reported that “Live PD” had destroyed its footage.
Former Williamson County general counsel Jason Nassour, who was also at the scene of the March 2019 incident, also was indicted on a felony evidence tampering charge.
The indictments follow weeks of grand jury investigation that included testimony from deputies and others who were at the scene the night of Ambler’s death. Chody turned himself in at the Williamson County Jail, which he oversees, on Monday. His bond was set at $10,000.

If the apple tree gives so many bad apples in a single year, maybe it should be cut down.

Thought had by person at the White House: If you can remember, man, woman, car, camera, TV, you are fit to lead a country and no one has anything to worry about
Trees can always be regrown if you have seeds that are worth it, and are careful.Yeah, abolishing the police will be great!...lol

It's pretty shocking not only that he destroyed their footage, but that they closed the case without requesting the footage from the TV show. This Sheriff went off the rails. I don't think this could happen in most jurisdictions. It's good that the DA is pressing forward with this case.They have a habit of "accidentally destroying" or "losing" evidence bad for them, and boy the number of cameras that suffer a mysterious malfunction at the crucial moment is something to behold

If other apple trees in your field are continually killing people, then you should cut those ones down too.What "apple tree" are you referring to?
It sounds like this particular department has a bad sheriff, but they are likely to get a new one, which will doubtless want to clean house.
They did it sloppily here, but this kind of thing does happen with some frequency. We had one police station here in MA in which the booking vid would just so happen to malfunction when a DUI arrestee later claimed he was not drunk and requested the booking feed to prove it. Etc.
An awful lot of them cut corners when they can because courts and the public at large usually let's them get away with it. It's virtually impossible to prove that a given camera didn't malfunction, judges really don't want to effectively call cops liars when issuing decisions, and in any event, the are supposedly going after the bad guys so who cares if they cheat a little (the thinking seems to go).

Apdst doesnt understand that the "few bad apples" metaphor used to justify continued support for police agencies, doesn't hold up to scrutiny if we accept that they are bad apples and treat the system they belong to like we would an apple tree.
One that is continually putting out fruits that kill a different types of neighbor (some at higher rates than others) every couple of weeks.
He will spend 20 posts not getting that, and then will complain I am being mean to him, when I just want to point out the goofiness of his world view.
It is what it is.

When the supposedly "good" apples permit the coexistance with the "bad apples" in the same basket, the "good" apples become rotten too...
Texas has shown repeatedy bad signs that there is something deeply rotten in their law enforcement structure. Recall the case of the convicted (for murder) Dallas police woman who killed the black person in his own apartment and the way her cases was treated by the TX Rangers who refused to press with murder charges.
This particular case wasn't sloppy - the Sheriff intentionally destroyed the evidence.
