[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I read just now that someone (cannot remember who) temporarily stepped down from the Moab Police Department due to the negative publicity from the released police body cam footage.

I have watched that 1HR+ footage twice & the cops who handled the Brian/Gabby situation on 8/12 in Utah never paid attention to the witness account of someone witnessing Brian as the true aggressor.
[b]Now that it has been revealed that the cops on the scene DID in fact know that there was a witness account of someone actually seeing Brian strike Gabby this is utterly outrageous to me.[/b]

Just because Brian had marks on his face, he was labeled the victim.
Those officers while friendly (except Officer Pratt IMO) were kind to both Brian + Gabby, their police work was so shoddy.

Sadly it took Gabby’s death for the truth to have come out that the authorities did a horrible job.

Do we know that the police received the information from both 911 calls? I hadn’t seen that.[/quote]

We don’t.  An officer was put on leave while the incident is investigated. We know that there were two 911 calls — one said that Gabby was hitting him, the other said Brian was the aggressor. We know the officers knew of the first, but we don’t know if they were told of the second. From the video, it appears not. Brian did have marks on his face, which supported the report of the first call. Gabby admitted she hit him. It sounds like probably both were true.

It’s possible that the dispatcher made a mistake by not passing in the info from the second call. The video doesn’t show the officers getting another call from the dispatcher. However, officers had already been dispatched, so maybe they decided they didn’t need to pass along the additional info?  A mistake in hindsight, but I still don’t think the Police action on the scene was “shoddy” in light of what they knew.

Yes, it’s heartbreaking that Gabby was so close to getting help. But, despite the fact that she didn’t ask for help, they separated her from Brian, & gave her possession of her van. She could have simply driven away. [/quote]

More training DV is needed, obviously. He might have had the scratches but she clearly was the one that was mentally distraught. That should not have been minimized or ignored in their assessment. But it was.[/quote]
