Saturday, some 50 protesters gathered in downtown Stockton to protest police brutality, marching from the Stockton Police Department down El Dorado Street on their way to City Hall, where Burris was preparing to hold a news conference.
Stockton Police Chief Eric Jones said the case has been turned over to the San Joaquin County District Attorney's Office for review. District Attorney Tori Verber Salazar said her office is proceeding with its own independent investigation to determine if criminal charges should be brought against the officers who were fired, identified by police as Michael Stiles and Omar Villapudua.
Both officers served on the department's Community Response Team, police said. Stiles was hired by the department in 2018 and Villapudua in 2016.
