What did you expect from Junior Bosley? Lol. Yeah, that seems obvious, too.

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.

Grow up. I'd rather accurate information a few days later than a twitter circus of unsourced, unverified bullshite information that normally follows events such as these.

Absolutely true. Just tell the frickin' truth. Any delay when it all came down in full view...speaks of manipulation. They'll pay for that.

I had heard on Hannity that the fatal shot was fired from WITHIN the car. Close range, shouldn't be hard to verify.

Have you ever dealt with a vast majority of police amin types? Telling them that their way of doing things is wrong is to say the least difficult.

We have a guy that used to be in broadcast that is now in my line of work. He was called in to critique our media releases. Every suggestion he had was deemed not needed.
