What ends were the police serving by not being more dismissive of the White Van Theory?

What ends were the police serving by not being more dismissive of the White Van Theory?

For one thing, the hope is that is would make the shooters think the police were on the wrong trail, lulling them into overconfidence...

It fit the profile the feds were feeding the local cops and the local cops believing the feds were omnipotent or something ignored the rest and now it has come back to haunt them.

I firmly believe once this is all over and the full story comes to light we will see that it was government incompetence and PC that killed most of those poor folks, that if the cops had gone with their gut instinct and eye witness reports instead of what some profiler was feeding them we could have caught this guy and saved about half of those who died.

As it appears now the locals we on the right tract but for whatever reason discounted the obvious. They had this guy several times and let him slip thru their fingers.
