Appears that nothing is likely to come out today

Advocate article

quote:

As rumors of an impending announcement continue to build, East Baton Rouge Mayor-President Sharon Weston Broome said on a local radio show Tuesday morning that she does not know the exact day or time that the U.S. Department of Justice will release its decision on the fatal police shooting of Alton Sterling.

“I think it would put us all in a better position if we did know,” Broome said in an interview on WBRP-FM Talk107.3. “I do not know the rationale behind their particular procedure, but unfortunately that is their protocol. We just have to be vigilant and try to get as much information as we can, when we can.”

Broome said “we just don’t know” when the decision will come, adding that it’s “very important for citizens not to panic or spread rumors” about the decision.

“I don’t want the citizens of the city or parish to operate from a framework of fear,” Broome said.


Too late regarding the bold text, I suppose.

would be really easy for DOJ rep to come out and confirm it isnt coming out today but i guess they dont want to set a precedent for this type of stuff?

I didn't want to start another thread, but I figured this could serve as a definitive one (or as definitive as we're going to get).

Best part of the article and you didn't quote it.

quote:

In response to a question from a radio listener who asked about Broome's thoughts on the shooting of Sterling, Broome said that it “would be a disservice for me to make a comment at this juncture when we are anticipating a decision" from the Justice Department, though she said that when the announcement is made, “you will know how I feel about the decision."

Does Broome not realize that out of the entire population of Baton Rouge there's only about 50 blacks who care about the child molesting, gun wheeling, drug dealing rapist

I don't think one thread will cut it. You should make a minimum of four.

LEO's wont be held responsible I think the local leaders know this as a fact. This isnt shocking by any means but just saying that is one facet of the report that has been leaked as well.

The DOJ is causing the anxiety and fueling the rumors in this town and while that in itself is disconcerting they also are costing this city, other local municipalities, educational facilities as well as private business a lot of money by not directly addressing said rumors. This needs to be addressed.

It has directly affected me in several ways both privately and in business. Meetings downtown closed because business closed, family with school etc...I'm sure it has affected a lot of people on this site in one way or another.

If she keeps acting stupid enough, she may be able to get herself recalled.
