Providence Police Chief Oscar Perez Jr., on Monday, evaded questions on the Brown University shooter and declined to say what witnesses claim the shooter yelled before opening fire at the university.

If the shooter were a White male, we would likely know everything about him.

Rhode Island Officials held a press conference on Monday to provide updates on the Saturday shooting and ongoing investigation as the manhunt for the shooter remains underway.

Witnesses say the shooter “yelled something” before killing two students and wounding nine more, and early reports suggest the shooter shouted “Allahu Akbar” before opening fire.

But Perez wouldn’t tell reporters what he said, claiming, “That’s part of the investigation.”

A reporter even pleaded with Perez to tell reporters what the shooter said to help the public identify him, reasoning that “it’s possible a friend or family member might recognize if the person said something that was significant.”

However, Perez claimed that he could not say, suggesting the case may be in jeopardy if he were to share this evidence.

Later, when another reporter pressed Perez, he gave similar answers, dodging the question again. After reporters began to shout questions about apparent cell phone videos from the scene, Providence Mayor Brett Smiley stepped in to declare a wrap on the presser.

These days, the best approach is just to sit back and wait for Information, but here we are going on two days out, and they have nothing.

There is no "best approach" for incidents with political importance.

First reports always contain major errors. Later reports appear to always reflect official falsehoods intended to protect a pre-conceived narrative. It is very hard to determine what is really happening.

The best we can do is to reverse the narrative and infer the reality of a situation by what is denied. ("Don't believe any rumors until they have been officially denied") That is still a very error-prone technique.

Life is full of uncertainty.

LOL...I am taking that graphic!

Absolutely true. We have found there is even more uncertainty now, since the Media cannot be trusted to deliver unvarnished information in which to drive our individual decision making.

We have long since entered into Pravda territory, where we have to read between the lines of the government mouthpieces, or even go to foreign press sources to try to find information about events.

Sad but true.

“Providence Police Chief Oscar Perez Jr. and the round glasses mayor are two of the biggest imbeciles I’ve witnessed since the last time a Blue city mayor and police chief were in the news.”

These klutzes have a Chief Moose stench about them.

Hmmm..... interesting fact

I’ve seen no credible reports saying he shouted “Allahu Akbar.”

The refusal of the authorities to say what he shouted is all the "credible" we need. They fear the righteous anger and burning mosques that will result from us Infidels reacting.
