Trooper Daniel Martin STILL On Paid Leave

I find this utterly amazing.

Oklahoma Trooper Daniel Martin is still on paid leave, and Captain Chris West told The Oklahoman the investigation into his actions back in May has been “wrapped up for some time now”.

I have to agree with Richard O’Carroll in this. We’ve all seen the original video, we’ve seen the dashcam video, we’ve heard from the Trooper’s lawyer, we’ve heard from the patient, and the public has spoken. The only people we haven’t heard anything solid from are the people who oversee Trooper Daniel Martin.

The Oklahoma State Troopers obviously need to take a lesson from the Police Chief of Lincoln Park, Michigan who was quick and decisive when taking action against his offending officer. Dragging this out is only going to make the scrutiny that much worse on the decision rendered.

Really.
