FWIW, the DA's office normally does the local investigation of possible police malfeasance in Texas jurisidictions of any size. Of course, there has to be an internal investigation also, as there are policies and procedures that also apply. The FBI will always be presented the case to review, as the civil rights aspect is their sole jurisdiction. The Texas Rangers are the detective division of DPS...the next step after highway patrol. They are used by small jurisdictions that typically have never investigated a real crime, much less one involving law enforcement.

Obviously, this won't appease the cop haters, but nothing will


The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.
