Sic 'em Dave. Why have they not announced the plates that were on the station wagon this morning. We could have millions of eyes on the lookout.

And they could release the notes too....

The police 'handing' this case just leads to more dead people.

One of the keys to being a great Politically Correct Police Chief is when something like this happens to pass out the Bravo Sierra and never pass out data that can get the community involved. If the community gets involved, the criminals regardless of race or whatever might be caught.

Also, when you are a PC Police and fail to catch the bad guys, you then state that your department was under budget and needs more real cops. Your budget is increased and instead hiring more good street cops, you hire more diversity consultants and promote more PC queens to take care of the increase in your budget.

I have another theory. It is one basic goal of domestic terrorism to put a wedge between the government and the people, and create distrust. More or less the marxist terrorist MO, but effective nonetheless.

Thus, the shooter deliberately bypasses shots at cops, leaves communications for the cops that he knows will not be completely shared with the public, and the media speculation and little leaks just play it up all the better.

In the end, you have a case that seems unsolveable to the ordinary citizen, they have reason to distrust the police (and LE in general), and they see themselves as separated from justice; mere targets for the amusement of others.

This is effective terrorism! Consider what is going to be going through people's minds across the country on Halloween. Not to mention the nutjobs that will emulate this, or individuals cells that will get the idea that they should activate. Who knows, maybe capitalism has rubbed off on the Hamas-in-the-US set and they are making bids for jihadinasty money from saddam?
