I asked Chief Riddle why it took so long to fire Officer Gutierrez. “I had lost confidence in him.” When asked didn’t the video going viral play role in undermining ability to protect and serve in small town like Windsor? “Yes” was his one word response to that. @WAVY_News pic.twitter.com/VtIl4nVzk7
