I'm glad the widow will be taken case of.

I remember hearing about this.case.

I live in Phoenix. The ONLY reason they changed their mind and are giving her the proper benefits is because the story hit the news and the public raised hell. Otherwise she would have been blown off. The new Chief here has an 80% disapproval rating from his officers.

The evidence that they have is conflictory and doesn't point to either suicide or homicide exclusively.

If public opinion were a deciding factor in Phoenix governance, the downtown trolley would never exist.

And that would be a bad thing for what it cost us? It does nothing more than our existing bus service did.

Why try to expand and warp my appreciation for doing the correct thing into an anti-police/anti-Drenth prevarication?

No where in any of my posts about Sean Drenth have I ever complained about the costs of his suspicious death investigation or the awarding to his family their survivor benefits.

I know one of the homicide investigators in this case and some of the Central City/500 officers also involved. What has been disclosed publicly and to me shows that neither suicide nor homicide can be currently proved in a scientific way. This is a highly unusual case and when in doubt, the benefits should be awarded to the survivors.

Phoenix governance cares very little for public opinion, beyond special interest groups/interests that are/were headed by Oscar Tillman, Mary Rose Wilcox, Tom Simplot, etc. The trolley was never wanted except by those who envision an eastern urban model.

The logic in my statement is linear.

I understand.
