Where have you seen that the mayor *issued* these orders ???
News I have read said that "state officials" were called in shortly after this incident......SOP since cops were involved.
My guess would be that "state officials" also *gagged* the mayor from talking to the press.
I have to disagree. In the early going it seamed like the mayor was answering more questions than the police.
If he is a three term Mayor, he is largely to blame in the flawed hiring process....
