Chief defends cop after Steeler coach's arrest is questioned (Yahoo Sports)

Pittsburgh's acting police chief is defending an officer who arrested Steelers coach Joey Porter outside a bar Sunday night after the independent Citizens Police Review Board announced it's investigating. Review board executive director Elizabeth Pittinger says the ''high visibility'' of the incident prompted the review, even though the board typically doesn't investigate unless someone complains about police misconduct. Porter's attorney says they didn't file a complaint about the officer's conduct.
