SHOOTING: A flawed investigation

| September 14, 2011 10:00 PM

I hope results from the upcoming civil trial concerning officer Brian Hirzel, who shot and killed Pastor Wayne Creach, will not allow him to shoot anything but a slingshot or a gun with rubber bullets.

The way I see it, the investigations conducted by the Spokane County Sheriff's Citizen Advisory Board and the Deadly Force Review Board should have been conducted by out-of-state boards who would have been unbiased.

Officer Hirzel should lose his badge, never be able to serve as an officer again, but put in jail and be fined heavily.
