If they knew anything about law enforcement, especially the feds, they'd realize that Moose was, quite simply, the face out front. If I remember correctly, the task force consisted of members (primarily the chiefs or sheriffs or their designees) of the cities/counties in Maryland, the cities/counties in Virginia, DC, the respective state law enforcement agencies, the FBI, the ATF, the Secret Service, Postal Inspectors, and other unknown federal & state alphabet agencies, but yet we're supposed to believe that Moose was the one with absolute power because he was black--and that's said without one scintilla of proof.
Look, all the profilers blew it. Even though they were willing to consider a woman as a sniper (because of Aileen Wournos because she killed her johns) as an outside chance, they didn't consider someone of another race. There have been black serial killers. There have been Hispanic serial killers. I can even think of one Asian serial killer just off the top of my head (Charles Ng). They also leaned towards this being one, not two, serial killer, because most serial killers work alone. They couldn't figure out his motive, because most serial killers like killing up close & personal. M & M didn't. They also, knowing what we know now, had more than one MO--robbery, thrill, and at least one for possible personal revenge. They had no set geographical area. From what we know now, they've killed on both coasts and places inbetween. And the cops in a number of jurisdictions blew it, from Washington state to Arizona to Louisiana to Alabama to Georgia to Virginia to Maryland to the District of Columbia to (possibly) Florida--and probably more states we don't know about yet. The connections weren't made early on. But yet, it's Moose's fault because he's black and he doesn't talk right. Pretty amazing, huh?
I used to think that during early stages of the investigation. Moose proved me wrong. Moose was in charge of the investigation, and he bears responsibility for these very serious transgressions - they should have caught Muhammad on October 8th, but let him go because they were looking for "a white van with white people." There apparently were so many entries on that Caprice in their database that a simple SQL query would have floated it right to the top of the investigation. Yet they doggedly ignored their own database, witness accounts and phone calls that should have established the ethnicity of the shooters. You can defend Moose from culpability all you want. But IMO the buck stops with this Moose.
If that is what you boil it down to, then you are ignoring what else has been brought out about Moose.
Now that is just too easy - the old 'let's call them racist or bigot that will win the argument - we have gotten past that - we now recognize those statement for what they are - lack of facts or reasons.
I don't care if the man is black, white, or pea-green with purple spots - apparently he was the talking head and I doubt anyone forced him out there to take that job. Just a guess on my part. But he was also the chief of police and people were being murdered. If he had evidence that pointed otherwise, I don't care how many FBI, ATF, or whatever other alphabet organization said otherwise, he should have said something. PEOPLE WERE BEING KILLED!! I don't care who made what mistake - mistakes were made and he shares as much of the blame as anyone else and, myself, what is so disgusting is that he is apparently accepting all the accolades rather than admitting he was part of an investigation that allowed other innocents to be killed. Screaming 'bigot' at the people who are pointing that out will not change the facts - now in the past it might have silenced them - but not anymore - just won't work.
From what I read he is being condemned for being a anti-white. It seems there is plenty of documentation to prove that. This would naturally lead a thinking person to question just how much of the 'non-investigation' of what would seem to be credible leads and we now know were credible were not followed because of his hatred of whites. If he was just a pawn of the FBI, it seems he was a very willing pawn.
