These police departments need a whole new paradigm in how to control information. This Chinese water torture method in the age of social media is a loser. They should have had a statement out on this within 4-6 hours. That's plenty of time to take it and even vet it a bit. They let the narrative stew on social media for almost 24 hours and it blew up on them. Now they're trying to put toothpaste back in the tube.

I agree with this completely. I think the decisions on shifting the case to St Louis county police and the FBI involvement played a part in the lack of dissemination of information in a timely manner.

I dont even want to start talking about the parochial nature of the st louis suburbs and the over abundance of small municipalities that dot the county. Thats a whole other subject that drives me crazy.
