Chief Kunkle to Speak About Officer Robert Powell at 2 PM

|

No one’s sure what the gist of his comments will be, but he will address Officer Powell’s behavior during the March 17 traffic stop in front of Baylor Regional Medical Center today at a 2 p.m. press conference. Doubt there will be a suspension announcement, but I’m sure you’ll hear about an investigation and a few words about the proper behavior in that situation.

UPDATE: Watch it here. Or here.

2ND UPDATE: Lost my video feed after a few minutes, but what I caught was: Powell is being placed on administrative leave and the Department will file administrative charges; Kunkle personally apologized to Ryan Moats and his family and complimented Moats and his wife on their patience in dealing with Powell; the Department only became aware of the incident on March 23, and Kunkle is trying to figure out why that happened. If you caught the rest, update us in the comments.
