I tell you what, bub, in every other city in the country they immediately announce the name of the policeman who shot and that they are an admin leave awaiting investigation. I am right.

But they don't reveal details during an investigation, unless it helps advance the investigation, or it holding onto the information becomes no longer necessary. Your "counter-point" (I am using quotes, because it was such a weak counter), only posits that the name is released. Not that they start releasing other information that is actually applicable to the investigation. So you completely miss the point.

But you don't even try to address the bigger point, which is: what do you know, about this specific investigation, that enables you to be able to play armchair quarterback? Do you know why they didn't release more information? I don't. And if you don't, you have no justification to say that it was an error.

But the bigger problem is that you choose to blame the police, when it is clearly the fault of the media, and others, for fanning the flames, even though they didn't have any real basis to do so.

You are not right. At all. Now if it turns out that the police' rationale for withholding information was insufficient, then, yes, the police will have made a mistake. But there is no way, at all, that you can know that, given what we know now.

You don’t withhold information for a week while your city burns.

It doesn’t take a week to get the essentials about what happened.

I really don’t care how you characterize my comments, I know they are correct and I will place the blame for stupidity and ineptitude where it lies — with the police department.
