    Detective Tom Murphy spoke during the council’s public comment period, a week after Sheline and Councilor Linda Scott announced the formation of the committee on the heels of two public forums on the topic.    
    Murphy said “certain politicians” are trying to “pit the community against the Police Department,” and are “spinning a tragic situation into a political game for their reelections.”    
    “We are not your enemy,” he said. “We only care about the well-being of this city and its safety.”

        I am anti QI, and as far as my views on police I think my profile makes it clear, but to be fair it protects against civil cases, not criminal.
