In a recent statement that was made by Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall, “In the case of the Salt Lake City Officer Involved Critical Incident that resulted in the death of Bernardo Palacios Carbajal, District Attorney Sim Gill’s findings provide significant evidence of the justifiable actions of Salt Lake City police officers,” Salt Lake City “This evidence shows that our officers acted according to their training and the state law regarding the use of lethal force.”
She went on further to say: “I know that for some, today’s decision does not feel like justice. It has become increasingly apparent in our city and across the nation that there is a difference between what so many feels is morally correct, and what is considered appropriate and justified under the law.”
