EVERY accused person has some degree of "flight risk". That, in itself, is not a good reason to post a bail amount that cannot be met.
Especially for people whom the arresting officers cannot show probable cause as being involved in any shooting.
A rational approach might have been to tell the prosecutors "I'll hold them for three days, long enough for the bullets to be taken from the bodies and ballistic tests run to compare with any guns the suspects were found with. Then I'm going to release anybody you do not show me probable cause for".
“with any guns the suspects were found with. “
When the cops came in, they dumped the guns. One dude is on video shooting and then dumping an object into a car with a busted window.
The cops retrieved his .32 in the car.
