A press conference would just add fuel to the fires, as nobody would believe a word they said anyways.....................
The biggest issue with law enforcement is that they withhold everything until they think they have every answer. It’s not like they are going to try this guy.
The could have had a press conference on Monday.
They had the operations plan. They know who signed off on the responsibility for that building. And they know why it wasn’t covered. This stuff is all documented and is part of the “project plan.” I’ve seen these done for very large local events.
I am figuring their biggest problem right now is things like, “We thought we secured the building.” “XX was supposed to do that, but it didn’t happen.” “The radio traffic was not precise, and the snipers did not know where to look.” “The snipers behind the President thought that building was secure, and they assumed the shooter on the roof was one of their guys…so they did not shoot until the sniper started shooting.”
None of those answers are going to make anyone happy.
The Director should just quit and admit this was a cluster-muck.
