Savannah Alderwoman raises concerns over police response to deadly shooting — Savannah Health news

SAVANNAH, Ga. (WTOC) - Savannah Alderwoman Linda Wilder-Bryan is calling for accountability after what she described as a disrespectful encounter with a police officer at the scene of Sunday’s deadly shooting near East 33rd and Cedar streets.Speaking outside Savannah Police Department headquarters Tuesday, the District 3 alderwoman said she felt bullied and intimidated by an officer, even after identifying herself. The shooting scene was not in her district.“There are good officers and bad officers and that day, I ran into a bad officer. I was bullied, I was intimidated,” Wilder-Bryan said.Wilder-Bryan also said officers ran out of gauze before emergency medical personnel arrived and that part of one victim’s body remained exposed to public view. She said she felt Mayor Van Johnson disregarded her concerns about the response.“I was not off-mark when I said they ran out of the stuff because they did. I was not wrong when I said the screen was not there because it wasn’t,” she said.Discu
