If I had to guess and this is strictly a guess.....It is a union deal.....they have to follow procedure in order of investigation and then if the cop is charged the name is released.

I figure it's a "police are more important than civilians" type thing like this, but FWIW, she's already been charged with manslaughter.

Those are civilian jobs. What government officials? What protections?

They are still protected in ways that other civilians are not protected.......Im honestly not sure on the specifics but I am related to a county clerk and they have certain protections related to their job just like any profession has.

I don't have any special protections. I don't think most jobs do. Even lawyers and doctors only have a few, but they are more in the interest of the client/patient (confidentiality). I know of no civilian jobs that protect a criminal's identity, or anything like that. If you're a doctor and you have a DUI, they're not protecting you.

True but if you are a doctor and mess up....you are not criminally liable. That is a protection offered based on your profession.....I dont think it is a police department's policy to let polices get DUI's and not be prosecuted.

To an extent, but non-doctors are also afforded that same sort of protection (good samaritan laws), and doctors do go to jail sometimes for negligence. Nevertheless, this would be a protection for a doctor in the performance of his job. I understand if a cop is involved in a shooting on the job, why they wouldn't release the name. We're talking about what a cop did to her neighbor on her own time.

Citizens are afforded some protections as far as good samaritan laws but no different than citizens are offered protection if they use self defense or stop someone else from being hurt. The Samaritan law allows for basic lifesaving measures not medical procedures. Cops are never considered off the job......It sounds like she is guilty as can be....they followed procedure and charged her with a crime.

You're looking at this with too broad of a perspective. Not every department, agency, sheriff's office etc. operates the same regarding how and when names are released. There's no overarching law (that I'm aware of--new laws are added everyday) requiring a time line of when names of the involved are released therefore it's up to the respective agency. For example, Nashville released the names of their officers in the last two OIS's within 24 hours. For better or worse, they're one of the most transparent departments around, releasing the names of their officers before the investigation is completed.

The Dallas Mayor is saying the officer parked on the wrong floor of her parking garage.

Wrong floor, wrong apartment, unable to notice that it wasn’t her apartment once the guy opened the door........either she was drunk/high or it was pre-meditated.

I agree..... if it was a legitimate mistake then what does that say about her ability to be an officer?

Exactly... that was the whole point. Her name wasn't released for several days.

Why does it matter? I’m sure it is probably in their contract how these things are allowed to be done.... it is probably for good reason too.... look at what happened to the cop in Mike Browns case.... He is 100% innocent and having to live in seclusion.

I am curious. Was the brother using the “word” as a term of endearment, or was he using it as a term of degradation?

Was he referring to the white male as a monkey? Or as a buddy?

Inquiring honkey minds want to know.
