Not asking the chief for an opinion. The chief’s statement is OPINION ONLY and speculation. Not a confirm and solid answer that’s seals the case.

So now we are back again to there has been NO confirmation that a department policy was broken, just one agency employee giving his personal opinion.
What type of proof would you possibly accept? Wouldn’t the interpretation of a policy pretty much always be one persons opinion?
Take the actual policy and compare it to the actions of the accused. If his actions are in alignment of the policy OR not in alignment of the policy, then let the cards fall where they should.

LOL at being painted so far into a corner that the straw you’re grasping is “the chief of fucking polices opinion on department policy carries little to no weight at all.”
The chief is one witness only, just one. He is giving his own opinion only, its not "law" or supersedes evidence in the case. Police chiefs make mistakes all the time and they are not the "gods". Again, just because he has rank in the agency, doesnt mean his opinion only is some final word or ends the case. Department policy is the law here and whether the officer followed it or not. An opinion is just that, an opinion, not proof.
