None of your assumptions are wrong!

Most good police work is not brillant. It is hard work to find linking data/facts that leave a trail to the bad guy.

I still believe that most street cops want to do this dirty work to find the bad guys. However in many cases their PC police chiefs don't want the bad guys caught.

I'm reposting part of your comments with no comments from me, except to say, you probably are not the first to raise this question: "Another thought: there may have been some voice scrambling employed, but if not, those various calls must have provided the politically incorrect probability that it was a black man's voice on the line. If so, was this critically useful piece of information withheld from the public for political reasons?"

So very true, and so very lacking in this case. Too many Ph.D.s in cheesy subjects like Urban Studies. Too many Ninja suits and MP5s. But nobody notices when they see the same car TEN TIMES and nobody notices it was modified to hide a sniper.

Policing suffers from the same diseases as public education: Too many credentials from dumbed-down postgraduate programs, a rigid unionization of the workforce, political correctness gone wild, topheavy management, inflated costs, too many personnel doing too little real work, etc. So why do we get jackboot lickers on this forum that won't say one bad word about cops? Contrast that with freeper teachers, military, and other government employees - all willing to rip the way their work is done these days. Until the blue wall of silence is torn down, it won't get any better.
