    During the course of the investigation into the shooting, deputy Herandez resigned from the force.

    Good. So now maybe they should look into their hiring and retention policies to ensure this doesn’t happen again.

      Unfortunately, that’s not how this works. By resigning, the officer terminated the investigation. Is probably already working the next closest PD because they have no red flags ( because the previous investigation was unable to conclude). Quite the system.
