They’ve got his back
The Utah FOP is lambasting Salt Lake County District Attorney Sim Gill. The comments are in response to his announcement that he has filed manslaughter charges against former West Valley City Police Detective Shaun Cowley. “it’s extremely unethical,” says Ian Adams, spokesperson for the Utah Fraternal Order of Police. Adams says Gill took too long in bringing the charges and is politicizing the case. They are also accusing him of parading evidence from the case in front of the press. “Our position is not that officers should never be charged,” says Adams, “our position is those investigations just like any investigation should be timely, should be fair and equitable.
