Pretty sure murdering people in their own home is a fireable offense, but Amber Guyger still has a job and is freely walking the streets right now.
The Chief of Police is outright lying about why they can’t fire her.
It was clear there was a lot of frustration, and attendees still wanted to know why Guyger has not been fired. “I can’t do that because there are both local, state and federal laws that prohibit me from taking action,” Hall said. “There are civil service laws we have to adhere to.”
Justin Moore, a civil rights attorney was a panelist at the meeting and was surprised by the Chief’s comments. “I was completely mystified, and I really didn’t understand where it came from last night. It seemed like Chief Hall might not have been well informed on the law,” said Moore.
The Dallas Police Department general orders do allow the chief to take action, saying, “The Chief of Police may circumvent all formal disciplinary procedures to render an immediate decision when it deems it necessary to preserve the integrity of the department.”
The general orders are the policies that officers have to follow and are governed by within the department.
It was unclear what laws chief Hall was referring to, but she promised she would release copies of the laws.
Police chiefs across the state and in Dallas have fired officers under criminal investigation. An internal investigation is typically conducted, but the chief can order that process to be expedited.
The Dallas Police Department has fired other officers while under criminal investigation including Amy Wilburn who shot a man in his car and Cardan Spencer who shot a mentally ill man standing in street. “There is nothing that prevents a police chief from firing somebody on the spot or at least launching an internal affairs investigation,” said Moore.
This has been a cover-up from the start. Cops always protect their own and don’t be shocked if she gets away with murder. No way a black man could have shot a white woman cop in her own home and not be 1000 feet under the jail right now.
