This is a continuation of a story that appeared in Sundays Gazette-Mail. During an Oct. 9 news conference, Charleston police released the video from the night Patrolman Jerry Jones and Brian Good were killed. The video details a dark, tragic scene where two young men die. One of the deaths, police say, was a justified killing, and the other, an accident. When asked at the news conference if there was any concern about the sheriffs department investigating the Charleston Police, with whom they work very closely, Charleston Mayor Danny Jones said no. The FBI could come in to investigate any time they want to, he said. The investigation was impartial and fair, and there was no need for anyone else to investigate the matter, he said.

About 70 South End residents, buoyed by the NAACP, recently called for a citizen oversight board for the police department in the wake of an alleged instance of excessive force, but Mayor James Miron said he won't authorize one. "All administrative oversight goes through the mayor," said Miron, an attorney for 12 years before becoming the town's first mayor in November."If I felt I couldn't handle the job, I would (form a board). But I can read a sworn statement and police reports as well as the next guy, probably better NAACP Connecticut President Scot X.
