Wow - looking at this thread. How is he circumventing the normal investigatory process? This is a simple traffic accident during the daylight while off duty. It was clearly investigated because the article said it will go on his driving record. He shouldn't be receiving any discipline for this but it said he wanted it to make a point whatever that is.
My only point is, we don't know... and not having what DID happen publicly known , leads some to assume it did not happen.
Im not assuming I know anything.. except, it would have been better (and this may or may not have happened) if the Chief had insisted his best officer had done exactly what is established and common had I or any other citizen ran someone down,, THEN ensured that was well publicized.
I guess at this point Im only poking at his PR execution, not any wrong doing criminally.
