More: Sheriff's officials claimed following the shooting that it was unclear whether Savannah was shot by deputies or her father, and they said deputies didn't realize it was her when she got out of the car. For nearly two years, they refused to release footage of the shooting.
But on Friday, the department disclosed nearly a dozen video files to the independent journalist Joey Scott, who filed records requests 18 months prior. The clips " which were shared with the Guardian and include helicopter footage " show deputies shooting at Savannah as she followed their instructions to move toward them. The videos also suggest deputies shot her after two officers remarked that it was the girl who exited. The footage, and the sheriff's narration of the video, further make clear she was killed by deputies, not her father.
The sheriff's department declined to comment.

That needs to be litigated if it isn't already.
That was a deliberate attempt to harm the father's character, by the people who actually killed the girl.

Has the killer been promoted yet?

The father's character is already pretty shot (pun not intended).
Bigger issue is killing the person you were trying to save as they were following your directions.
Either the was under the influence or is too stupid to wear a badge.

Cops are taught that their guns are the answer to every situation. When all you have is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.

Paging Gunslinger. Paging Gunslinger. Why did they teach you to shoot everybody to death at the drop of a hat? Or is this not quite the case and there's a little more to it?
