Another stand-down order from Val and Obama.
No wonder the mayor made that freudian slip about needing "room to destroy".
And I would add that any information about what happened is probably being held back now not because the police chief wants to hold back information but because the White Hut wants to hold back information.
Probably a good guess.
The police did state they were told to stand down.
I expect they will be punished for admitting that.
