On June 6 this happened. An off-duty police officer allegedly fired his service weapon in the #adirondacks after a confrontation with Black kids. He later allegedly acknowledged lying about the incident to New York State Police. 1/ https://twitter.com/RobertGavinTU/status/1288094953797754880
The same day June 6 @NYGovCuomo tweeted this. 2/ https://twitter.com/NYGovCuomo/status/1269298067968274432
The @nyspolice never posted this incident on their blotter and closed the investigation without filing charges. The Essex County DA has declined to discuss the case according to the @timesunion. It appears the officer will retire with no disciplinary hearing or charges. 3/
Glad the @timesunion broke the story. Seems like a lot more questions need to be asked by news organizations about how this incident was handled/investigated/resolved. End/
