People think we're being excessive asking for a special prosecutor. Not so.

According to a December 2014 Washington Post poll, Democrats and Republicans alike overwhelmingly agree that outside prosecutors should investigate police shootings.

Other jurisdictions like New York, Wisconsin, and Connecticut have recognized the need to wrest the review of police involved shootings from local prosecutors, even though none of these states have the additional conflict created by felony review. The same appears to be true for the 13 other states that introduced legislation to require special prosecutors to investigate officer-involved shootings.

It's not only sound practice in surrounding states based upon a history of absent objectivity in police murders, but it's actually considered best practices according to the recommendations of the Obama Task Force on 21st Century Policing.

Specifically action item 2.2.3: The task force encourages
policies that mandate the use of external and
independent prosecutors in cases of police use of
force resulting in death, officer-involved shootings
resulting in injury or death, or in-custody deaths."
