Trujillo severance package questioned

After the investigation, the city released the following statement:

“The Seattle Police Department has been working diligently to investigate complaints brought to our attention. This investigation will be conducted b구미출장안마y an independent board that is fully independent of the city of Seattle.”

But the city’s attorney, David N. Reiner, a spokesman for Seattle’s mayor, said that after consulting with the police chief, the city’s decision to terminate the contract was based on his concegta5카지노rns about officers’ safety.

Reiner declined to comment specifically about the investigation of the department, but on Tuesday said the city’s lawyers considered a large number of factors before it made the severance deal with Trujillo, including the chief’s reputation, the mayor’s approval for the decision and whether “there’s a conflict of interest with regard to his business and his use of money. We thought carefully about the evidence before making our decision.”

But the decision was made on the basis that “there’s a conflict of interest” between the chief and his lawyer, Reiner said.

In addition to the severance, Trujillo is now barred from entering into new contract negotiations, Reiner said.

Trujillo was terminated from his employment with the Seattle Police Department in 2008 after two police officers died in a motorcycle crash and his former partner, Officer Brandon Merkels, was shot in 2010. Merkels was involved in a 2011 arrest where officers arrested an 18-year-old with a gun under the mistaken belief the weapon was actually a toy rifle.

Trujillo has been indicted multiple times in the fatal incidents, including a fatal shooting in 2007 th세종출장샵at was ruled a homicide by forensic evidence. He remains under court supervision for allegedly selling heroin and marijuana.

He is accused of selling heroin and marijuana that was found in the truck he was riding in the days before his 2013 arrest.

Trujillo has represented the city in several lawsuits over its controversial stops and frisks of black men — who may be wrongly stopped for minor traffic violations but then arrested because of racial disparities in the use of traffic control devices like stop signs. He has also represented officers in multiple cases in which he has contended officers are under threat from members of the media because of reports he is not a lawyer who can defend them.
