Someone posted the resume for Moose and his past history earlier. Can someone please point me to that information. Also is it true that he was fired in Seattle? Thanks

Dealing with Excessive Force Issues
I agree. I do not believe that he is in charge. I doubt he wants to be in total charge. He is playing his part...as are thousands of others.
Moose is turning this stuff in to a zoo. I thought he was a poor choice for a front man the first time I heard him.
After that, it was all down hill. And, he keeps proving he's not up for the job.
Now, I think the theory that the murderer is getting his jollies taunting Moose is quite valid. Moose isn't doing
any future victims any favors by conducting the "press conferences" as some inept farce, almost on the level of a
Mel Brooks movie. Or Airplane!.
Instead of spouting hate, why don't you share with us specifically what Moose could be doing differently in this case?
Did you trip? Sneeze? - Fall asleep on the keyboard? - What does that say?
Excellent point! I doubt the keyboard cops will have any suggestions, much less a answer.
There is really no defense against a sniper. They are trying to draw him out so that they can learn more about him/them. As they learn they will piece together some info that may lead to a bust. This is going to take time.
The moose is not calling all the shots, he is but a messenger. (a fairly well pissed off on at that) The FBI is there. The ATF is there. I heard some idiot on FOX calling for the National Guard to be deployed.(now that will be something)
I suggest and will volunteer to sit on a corner in a easy chair with a bullseye T shirt and draw the SOB out into the open! That might work.
Anyone else have a suggestion?
