I have to say they played it pretty well. All I’m hearing on the local news is about moving on and having memorials and the like. The story seems to be all but off of the national radar. The authorities have totally dodged the questions of whether it was a police issued weapon, why it took them so long to respond to repeated 911 calls, and why they choose to execute him in the field rather than bring him to justice.
What I'm saying is often local authority is 'gagged' once they call the state in.......believe me no 'local authority' wants to withhold info (like death notification) for hours all the while knowing that the 'local grapevine' has already spread word.
of course its a dept issued weapon.
