The family of Chicago Police Officer Krystal Rivera, who was fatally shot in the back by a fellow officer while on duty, is demanding an independent investigation into her death. They have called for city agencies to relinquish control of the probe and for the Illinois State Police to take over. The family’s lawyers have also announced a civil investigation into the shooting. Critics have questioned the official account that the shooting was accidental, and the family’s attorney has stated that the officer who killed Rivera should never have been hired by the Chicago Police Department. The case has drawn public attention and calls for transparency in the investigation.
The anti-police activists are using this BS story as a way to get Garrett Rolfe fired & prosecuted. Once an officer uses deadly force (reasonably) against one of their patron saints - they will never stop. https://t.co/2zIKNpXEWW
