CLEAT Response to Taylor Trial Hung Jury
AUSTIN — Police officers are hired and trained by cities with elected officials at the helm. Officers are regularly discredited and discarded by those same people at the first sign of politically generated outrage. Political winds and trends do not keep families and communities safe; that’s done by the brave men and women of law enforcement.
Officers deserve the best legal representation available to them, and we have consistently shown respect for the outcome of jury decisions. We realize the intricate details of critical incidents combined with the complexity of law enforcement training and legal responsibilities are difficult to process. CLEAT will continue to represent Officer Taylor as long as it takes to clear his name.
CLEAT remains committed to our honored duty of representing our members.
