After reading a transcript of today’s press conference with the AG here’s some questions I have about what appears to be the most bungled and inept “manhunt” in US history,
- Exactly when in the History Of This Planet (other than in Arkansas) has anyone shot themselves three times in the head with a full power handgun?
- Peterson’s fourth wound was a non contact rifle wound. If a police sniper could hit him in the arm, why not a follow-up shot to prevent further action on Peterson’s part?
- If Peterson was on a cell phone, why was it so hard to determine his location, even if he tried to give a false location?
- If a responding Deputy was fired upon by Peterson, why wasn’t that Deputy able to regain/maintain contact with Peterson?
- The survivor of the Crandon massacre was conscious after the shooting and I presume knew Peterson. Was the survivor promptly questioned as to the identity of the assailant? There should have been no confusion as to whom the assailant was. Was there?
- Why are the arrests logs and 911 tapes not being made available to media requests? There is no law preventing these items being disclosed in a timely fashion
- How about the police radio tapes and police cell phone logs?
- What? “They have also asked me to ask the community at large to stop talking to the press. As such, we in the law enforcement community will do our part by having no further comments to the press from Forest County.”

With a cop identified as the perp, it should be a thorough investigation.
