Have the police had a formal press conference yet? If not, why not? They’re getting maligned, too...
They were having them regularly until a few weeks ago. The mob wanted blood, and was impatient. So, higher ups did the smart thing and transferred the case to an independent investigator. IIRC, the assignment, as it stands now, was given out by order of the governor of the state. As it should be, no formal announcements, no comments, no NOTHING from the current investigator. The mob will hear from her when she's reached her conclusion.
The police work for a City Council that has already bought into the false narrative. Defending themselves would be risky.
