Jan Scully saves money by letting cops kill people

Sacramento County District Attorney saves money by ceasing investigations of police shootings

Allegedly "wrestling with budget cuts," DA Jan Scully has ceased monitoring police shootings to determine whether the officers’ kills were justified and whether the investigations into them were conducted thoroughly, or at all.

Not that it really matters. After all, in the past 10 years, the Sacramento County DA’s office has investigated 93 officer-involved shootings and in-custody deaths, and not one has resulted in a criminal prosecution, even though many of those killed were unarmed.

Policy director for the Northern California ACLU, Allen Hopper, says he is "not aware of other DA’s offices dropping their officer-involved shooting units."
