I feel for the police. I have seen more than my fair share of deceased victims. From small kids to older adults. It is never easy. That is why suicide and divorce alcoholism and other tragedys are high among LE. You have to see unspeakable carnage, and then keep it detached to be able to do the job to serve the victim, and then go home and be a mom or dad. I remember, after being at the site of the OKC bombing all day the first day, going home and crying all night long. Didn't cry a drop during that day. But that night, just fell apart. Unbelievable. And for the LEAs now. They must be feeling hopeless. No real clues. Getting yanked around by this guy. You talk about a sick feeling. But still. TO the public, and more importantly, to the perp. They need a strong, strong front. No crying. No whining. No wimpering. A strong stance. "We will find you. You will pay. Your future is certain. You demise will not be pleasant". Something to that effect.

I agree that a stong stance, front if you will, is necessary. As much as I undertand that Moose is in a precarious situation, he is far from presenting such a front.

Moose is anything BUT that. I've seen him stumble, fumble, get VERY angry, chew the media out, multiple times, even cried, for Pete's sake. Give me strength. He says really rude things to these reporters who ask valid questions. These COps look totally clueless. Not very confidence inspiring, imo.

Yes, a "Do Not Sleep" warning/response like that steely-eyed sheriff out in San Diego had is the approach I'd like to hear. It instills a great deal more confidence in their efforts and it is more in keeping with the mindset of most Americans.
