``We were looking for a white van with white people, and we ended up with a blue car with black people,'' said Washington, D.C., Police Chief Charles Ramsey, whose department ran the Caprice's license Oct. 3, just hours before a fatal shooting in Washington that has been tied to the sniper suspects, John Allen Muhammad, 41, and John Lee Malvo, 17.

Very well said, Grampa Dave.
The only thing I'd add to that is that there's valid reason for the feds to label this as a 'hate crime'.
These two Islamakazis, as you call them, picked the victims they did, because they hate all Americans and non-Muslims.
If a skin-head tried to extort $10 million dollars by targeting 13 black people for death, the PC crowd would by crying hate crime.
Why not now?
Have you seen the Comedy Central show called "Trigger Happy?" The creator of the show (a British man) pulls off a stunt where he is walking down the street dressed like a bandit, holding a big sign over his head that says "THIEF", and he is walking to his car, which has a big sign reading "GETAWAY CAR" on it. He only rolls video when there are patrol cops walking by, and they can be captured on video. The cops won't/don't even look his way!
That's why we need about 90% fewer rules, so we can train a cost-effective police force to competently enforce the important ones, like "Thou shalt not murder." And then we could also fire anyone who thinks an Urban Studies Ph.D. is a good thing for a cop to have.
Absolutely. I'm not sure even powerful database like Oracle or SQL would have been needed. An off the self d-base app. like MS Access could have easily done the job. Simply using the match command from the individual database tables from each roadblock would have quickly isolated the license plates showing up more than once.
In retrospect, it appears runaway Political Correctness made 2 bumbling, unorganized, low rent, drifting psychopaths into some kind of elusive, intrepid, highly organized Day of the Jackal style sniper team. Simply Amazing.
Let’s hope that the facts of this case see the light of day. These 2 killers should have been apprehended weeks ago.

However, you have laid out the way to make our police forces effective, cost effective and able to protect the innocent.
I firmly believe that the only way the PCers can stay in power in any organization, public or corporate, is to control the flow of information. Their power is insured when they control the information on critical issues and only allow what they want out after it is laundered.
Remember the info relayed to the team collecting the info was hand written on to carbon copy forms. That system would preclude the real data from getting into what you proposed.
And to top it all off this POS is a homosexual who tells all he met that the teenager was his son........yeah sure.
One more insane product of a socialist democratic society that jumps through hoops per se to protect......this in a PC world that is afraid to call criminal worthless trash on the carpet and hold accountable for what they really are .........a murdering POS that should be hung for their crimes "in public " during prime time on national TV !
Stay Safe , Stay Armed and CYA Dave !

It sounds like a classic that should be run over and over after what happened the past two weeks.
You got my blood boiling.
What's the purpose of collecting data if no one analyzes them?
Since we know that the perps' car was stopped at least 10 times, we could at least narrow down the potential suspicious vehicles to a few, if not one.
Incompetence run amok
It's willful negligence, imo, and Moose should be jailed. It's an elementary procedure, isn't it, and would've taken 5 seconds to run that search? But, nooooooooooo . . . they were having too much fun inconveniencing hundreds of thousands of commuters and yanking white guys out of their trucks, throwing them to the ground, and handcuffing them. A big dog and pony show.
But it seems they've slipped up on controlling the flow of info on where the money was to go. A sharp Freeper got past their redactions, and shows others how to do it here
As Rush is fond of saying, "Follow the money" and it leads to an odd place in this case.
Carbon copy forms? I didn't even know those were still made.
