Off. Wilson has injuries

Hmmmmmm, so, he did not just shoot him out of racism? Interesting...

Funny how this info is always held back till after all the crap rolls downhill. What is Jessie Jackwagon saying now?

[Riverpigusmc]

It did not fit Holder's agenda. THAT is why it wasn't released earlier. Just like the whole Zimmerman/Martin thing, the admins assertions will prove false

Well I hate to say it but if they would have just let the police/dea/dci whom ever complete the investigation and let the facts come out things might have been different from the get go. I don't think that the PD knew what to do with this event. they shoudl have been more forthcomming with info. Now its way out of controll....this is really sad all around.

The term I hear most is "follies"........Local PD was in over their head, was obvious when their Top Cop was damn near stuttering through a Q&A with reporters.

Zackly...they are not prepared for such an event. When this went down no matter what it was a higher agency should of stepped in, that was the point i was trying to make in my ramblings.

they just had no experiance in such an event.....it was as bad as my spelling skills

I hate to differ, but I think it is good to withhold this type of information until the usual suspects have gone on the record with outlandish BS. Then release the facts, and make them look foolish. Like the so-called witness, who has now been caught in several lies.

On the contrary, releasing this info earlier could've saved hundreds of thousands of dollars in tax payers money for the extra police, Nat. Guard, etc. Not to mention all the money that the businesses and other property that were lost due to the vandalism and looting.

Withholding info and releasing it later makes it look like they were trying to hide something and came up with an escape route.

Never the less, what happened was unfortunate and shouldn't have happened.

Just my opinion.

I understand, per a Q&A on TV, that releasing the info after proper documentation is standard procedure, but,this situation, I feel, needed swift transparency. I agree with Ell, alot of hurt, destruction and theft could have been avoided.

Exactly, they will think the story and injuries were concocted to get the cop off. If you explain the injuries sustained by the cop and the preliminary finding then you don't allow the "hands up, don't shoot" to take root. Now it has grown beyond the incident and is being used as an excuse regardless of the facts of the case.

I just hate to agree with but I think this is a true statement. To release what they know as soon they know makes the public feel better.
