Why is flight risk relevant if he's not even going to be charged with a crime?!

He said the investigation would be ongoing, but he said he "was unable to determine at the scene that there was any intent to commit an assault."
Collegedale Officer Paul Crosby said when he arrived at the scene he found a large group of people gathered outside the door of the store. He said some "were obviously angry and were pointing fingers and yelling."

Astonishing. They are unable to establish intent from shving an elderly man to the ground, and shoving another man thru glass. Presumably these things happened accidentally and not on purpose?

Ahhhhhhhhhhh . . . and as it turns out . . .
the ‘good’ detective needs merely
a few
DOZEN
ANGER MANAGEMENT REFRESHER COURSES.
Then all will be well in GLOCKamora.
And the good citizens can walk about in WallyWorld confident that local PEACE keepers are
ON DUTY in THEIR ‘best’ interests.
