the only problem with the Rangers is that you're still having LEO's investigating LEO's, so I'm not so sure about the confidence that's instilled.
yes, I'd rather the mayor stay out of it too, but you don't want a judge appointing a panel the judicial system shouldn't be involved at that point yet.
I don't know what the answer is....

Offduty officer pulled into parking lot and was followed by civilian. I'm assuming he thought this place would have cameras or he was indeed going for some eye candy. Officer decided to talk to civilian and maybe smooth things over, explain how his actions are not appropriate, i.e. deescalate the situation but also prevent civilian from doing this to others in the future.

Officer gets out of vehicle, walks around the front of his car, civilian gets out of his car and immediately shoots at the officer. Maybe he felt threatened and that's why he shot. The officer goes back to his car to retrieve his weapon, civilian is getting into his car, officer shoots the civilian through the passenger side window of his car, hits the civilian (maybe in the back hence why there are reports he might be paralyzed) and graces the civilian's passenger.

I hope there is a follow up to this.
