SALT LAKE CITY – The Utah chapter of the Fraternal Order of Police is urging leaders in Cottonwood Heights to discipline a city councilwoman who confronted officers at a protest that ended in violence last year.
Ian Adams, the union s executive director, alleges Tali Bruce continued to wade into ongoing assaults on officers and interfere with their ability to defend themselves and make arrests at the Aug. 2 march. Her continued membership of your council is an embarrassment to the entire state, Adams wrote in a Wednesday letter addressed to the city council.
A day earlier, the Utah Attorney General s Office released a report backing how officers handled demonstration. Investigators in the office found police did not use excessive force and acted appropriately, but said the city s police department could have planned better when it came to coordinating with other agencies and communicating with organizers of the demonstration.
