Public confidence cannot be elevated behind closed doors.  Shine some light on this matter.  I have had contact, as a citizen complainant, with one of the offices named as a defendant.  Found him to be a gentleman and helpful. This officer was the lead investigator in an off duty police officers assaultive conduct wherein I was a witness,  The officer played it right down the middle and the off duty officer was convicted at trial for assault in the third degree.  This officer needs the opportunity to defend himself.  This matter is more than a family dispute.   Some named defendants have been caught in the web of intrigue.  They need to clear their names or accept responsibility. If I was a party to this and named in a federal civil suit.... I would want a trial.  Five named officers and 1-50 John Does, apparently additional officers, acting under the color of law.  We need a trial and the plaintiff must prove his case.
