What I find interesting is that the occupants aren't profiled. No mention of race, hair color, etc.
This situation is pushing the standard of PC but most won't have a problem with it. My problem is that the cops appear to be clueless in the standard of PC, other than the vehicle description.
I have seen everyone of those characteristics reported many times the problem is that so far witness accounts include both white and brown. Are you saying that the cops should pick one and concentrate only on brown or white? The white van and the caliber of the weapon are the only consistent facts we know of and the white van is problematical but it cannot be ignored until it is shown to be mere coincidence especially vans with ladder racks
