E-mail sent by Allegheny Co. District Attorney raises eyebrows

PITTSBURGH — An email sent out by Allegheny County District Attorney Stephen Zappala's fundraising campaign is raising some eyebrows.

The email touts a grand jury report released last week, criticizing how the city investigates police-involved shootings, saying in part:

"...Any law enforcement officers or government officials who obstruct investigations into critical incidents, such as the police shooting of a suspect, will be subject to a grand jury investigation. Your contribution of $250, $100 or whatever works best for you, will go a long way toward our efforts to keep our justice system working for the people."
