“Isn’t this tainting the evidence?”
Easier to explain away as it is put into the memory hole.
What happened today, AT THAT CRIME SCENE, is as big a story as the ordinal shooting.
Why wasn’t there a police presence there? Why didn’t anyone in the “herd” say “IS THIS LEGAL?” (The landlord used a crowbar!!! to open the townhouse).
WHY did this happen? Because evidence NEEDED to be tainted...and “workplace” violence can be the reason and everyone can go Holiday shopping, and you’re right...down the memory hole.
