Easton Police Chief reacts to Minneapolis Police custody death

Easton Police Chief Richard Doyle has released a statement about the actions of four officers in Minneapolis.  He says the direct action of one officer and those standing idly by are viewed as a failure of the morals, ethics, and standards of conduct they swore to uphold.  Chief Doyle shared an excerpt from the Easton Police Department Policy “Code of Ethics” reading in part that it's the duty of each officer to respect and protect the rights guaranteed to each citizen by the Constitution. No person may be deprived of constitutional rights because he/she is suspected of having committed a crime.  Doyle pointed out that the task of determining constitutionality of a statute lies with the court of proper jurisdiction.
