I have a theory about the sketch of the shooter/s. First, why is it taking so long? It seems Moose has been promising it for days, yet surely if the public's help is wanted, they'd get the sketch out ASAP, like they've done in every case – cases of lesser magnitude – I can recall. I mean, that's always a top priority, is't it?

Now… I think the preponderance of eyewitness descriptions is pointing to a "swarthy"- or "olive-skinned"-type male, or males. And I think Chief Moose is stalling on releasing the composite drawing because “he” (people telling him what to say) is afraid that everyone with a gun is going to target ME-appearing people. I think that they're hoping they'll capture the killer before public demands sketch, and that once perp is in custody, there won't be as much revenge taken.

They're playing both ends agains the middle, though.

There may be another factor in play here, which aids and abets Moose, et al, obvious reluctance to target a "group of people"

There were more than a few ME-looking customers in that shopping center Monday night, which makes sense, since there is a large concentration of them in that area. Last night, Arafat's buddy, Rita Cosby, had a phone interview with a "witness" who spoke in a decidedly middle-eastern accent, who emphatically ID'd the perps as "white." How many of these supposed "witnesses" have called or come forward to promote that theory, I wonder?

What we seem to have here is "witness by committee" -- with no ranking of contradictory evidence based on credibility of witnesses. Thus we have two renderings of a van, instead of someone in LE taking the bold initiative of making a decision on the most likely description. This type of investigation also spreads the blame for failure over a wide area, which may be the point, considering who's in charge.
