That's what I can't figure out.
It's called an investigation..which takes time...premature news serves nobody’s interests and should not be released because people want it served like a McDonalds order.
Furthermore...the police officer and his family were already being threatened before the riots even broke out. They know the public there in that community and it doesn't take much to incite them....long standing rage of blacks toward cops is prevalent there...not hard to assume any information which would be counter to what the people wanted to "believe" wouldn't help the situation...they were ready for a fight and had already determined guilt of the officers involved before the riots..
Because a good professional police department don’t go off half cock and release information that hasn’t been thoroughly checked double check swore proven and investigated. Their job is NOT to provide headlines! Their job is to establish FACTS. Unfortunately you can not do such a thorough investigation at the speed of half-truths, innuendo,supposition and out right bald-face lies that the media is more than willing to print and the race-baiters more than willing to spread.
Maybe didn’t have the store video to prove some of the situation?
>>Why didn’t the police release all this info in the beginning?
>>That’s what I can’t figure out.
Too busy dealing with all the rioting and looting?
