9. Next step: no local prosecutors
Tue Dec 2, 2014, 11:27 AM

Local prosecutors are dependent on the trust, good will and cooperation of the local police in their job: building cases on police evidence. It is a conflict of interest to require the local prosecutor to indict a policeman. A special prosecutor from outside the area should be appointed.

Besides this conflict of interest, McCulloch has family who are in law inforcement, his father was killed by a black felon and he is on the board of an organization that supports the families of policemen and firefighters who have been killed.

His superiors know all this and still did not demand that he step down.
