The independent watchdog, which oversees police conduct, alleges that authorities hindered their ability to fully investigate the shooting.

Bias read (Center): The article presents a balanced account of conflicting positions: the independent watchdog alleging obstruction and the police chief expressing commitment to cooperation. There is no clear ideological slant in the framing of the issue, nor is there evidence of one-sided sourcing or editorializing.
