San Mateo County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe says "It's Possible."

Original post made by Michael G. Stogner, another community, on Nov 18, 2014

Why doesn't he tell the public the truth, he knows the answer by now.

3 Menlo Park Police Officers were involved in a shooting death of a citizen, They were wearing video cameras.

Does anybody honestly believe Mr. Wagstaffe's statement of "It's Possible that none of the cameras were turned on."

He is in control of the investigation.

What the evah-luving-ell....

What the h are they hiding?

Why do we give them all these tax dollars for toys they turn off?

I know, lets give them drones and armored tanks, too.

Cameras worn by cops are a great tool to protect the public as well as the police, but when police officers get to turn off cameras, it turns into a situation that just helps them and harms the public. When cameras are turned off in a situation like this, there should be a jury instruction to infer that the cop turned it off because it depicted him in a bad light.

3 turned them off? What are they all hiding? 1 is questionable. 3?

CONSPIRACY.

The Almanac can just call the Police Chief of Menlo Park Police and put this to rest right now.

Video cameras on or off that moment?

Ongoing investigation. The chief is unlikely to comment. And Wagstaff shouldn't be running his mouth either.

Whay is MPPD's policy on camera use? That should be public record.

This is from previous Almanac story on this subject.

"Menlo Park Police Chief Robert Jonsen said that video footage of the shooting from the cameras worn by the officers will be given to the District Attorney's Office for review, but not released to the public."
