He is willing to admit he understands why the public might think the relationship between prosecutors and officers is too close for a fair process. But, he reports, Deputy District Attorney Chris Lalli wouldn’t return his calls during the inquest because he wanted to distance himself from the police department. Moreover, Perkins notes, Henderson Police fight with the D.A.’s office all the time — about whom to prosecute, what charges to press, etc.

Is there a conflict of interst here?  You be the judge when not one police officer has ever been prosecuted for a shooting, ever.  Every single case from henderson to Metro has been justified.
