Decision to use on-duty officers for funeral procession of David Brown Jr. spurs outrage CRIME Blog dallasnews.com
"A cop-killer who is the son of the Dallas police chief continued to stir deep emotions Friday as he headed to his grave.
An apparent last-minute decision by a deputy police chief to provide assistance during part of David Brown Jr.'s funeral procession angered some police associations. The city manager quickly issued a written statement distancing herself and Chief David Brown from the decision.
'This was not a planned event nor a full honor escort,' according to the statement issued late Friday afternoon evening by Dallas City Manager Mary Suhm. 'The action will be fully investigated and may lead to disciplinary action.'
Officers said the assistance included 10 to 12 motorcycles and at least one squad car.
David Brown Jr., who killed Lancaster police Officer Craig Shaw and an innocent bystander June 20 before being shot by other officers, was buried in Lincoln Memorial Cemetery in Dallas."
