Becker and Buttars Sitting In A Tree…
Mayor Becker thinks Sen. Buttar’s bill to make police misconduct confidential is a great idea. Apparantly Salt Lake County already has this policy for their police officers and Becker’s SL City officers want the same deal.
Becker is every bit as wrong to support this as Sen. Buttars.
Police who don’t answer for misconduct are a bigger risk to Utah’s citizens than the criminals they are charged to detain.
