of some aspects of evidence gathering there would likely be some involvement, but another law enforcement agency should lead the investigation.
The way that these shootings normally are handled is that officers are investigated by their own employing agencies and the decision whether to file charges is made by local prosecutors who work day in and
day out with the officers' agency,” says David Sklansky, professor of law at Stanford University
and faculty co-director of the Stanford Criminal Justice Center.
