Families of individuals who lost their lives in officer-involved shootings across Contra Costa County call on the sheriff to resign after statements he made in a letter regarding the sentencing of a Danville officer involved in a 2018 fatal shooting.
Hall must spend at least 85% of his sentence, or 5.1 years, in prison before being eligible for parole.
Families say they are concerned not only about the insensitive nature of Livingston's remarks as they relate to the victims but also what his words say about supporting law enforcement officers regardless of being convicted in a court of law. "He clearly said that he was behind the officers who commit these crimes, and it’s a slap in the face to our families, to the loved ones that we’ve lost unjustly, and it gives us no confidence that our investigations will be conducted fairly, objectively, transparently or hold the people involved accountable," Bella Quinto Collins said.
Families in attendance also spoke about the upcoming election and how they are hoping for a new sheriff.This article tagged under:
