Council statement on police investigation expected today
Toward the bottom of today's story on City Manager Mitchell Johnson's latest statement about the Greensboro Police Department investigation, it mentions that City Council is expected to release its own statement on the investigation today.
We're expecting that statement between 3 and 4 p.m., and we'll get it up online as soon as we can.
Based on interviews conducted with council members over the past couple of weeks, here are some of the likely points the council's statement will include:
* We trust and support Mitchell Johnson;
* We'd like to release more information about the investigation but can't for various legal/personnel reasons;
* Based on all we've seen, we fully support the way the investigation has been handled.
While you're waiting, here's the link to our story archive on the police department investigation.
Update: Here's the text of the council's statement.
