  • Almost a year after her death, Laura Gast's family members say they're still waiting for answers. But the entire case file that could give them those answers was being kept from prosecutors for more than six months.

They should have reinstated officer Disney who was fired by the former chief for turning him in at BCI the new chief. Seems he's the only one with any integrity on that force. The former, and prior chief certainly didn't have any and they couldn't have covered it up all by themselves. Others knew what was going on.

    When the police do things like this they walk away most the time untouched by the justice system. If the average citizen did anything remotely close to what they did we would be in jail/prison. Police should be under a differnt punishment system that's far more severe than the rest of us. Having a badge shouldn't grant immunity from the law or slaps on the wrist. So few cops face justice for their wrong doings and its created this abuse of power. They get caught they resign or fired just to end up at another department. We need far more oversight into law enforcement throughout this country. Good cops are walking away from law enforcement at an alarming rate.
