I'm late in this thread, but...
I am sick and tired of this racist stuff. We don't need it. It isn't helping us, and it isn't honest.
Agreed. Unfortunately, the spokespeople for the police haven't been particularly well spoken and thus the observations. However, I know I wouldn't be well spoken either faced with cameras, a hostile press, after sleepless nights - but it doesn't mean these individuals aren't good at what they do. Not catching the shooter doesn't mean the LEO's aren't good either - this guy just may be better.
