re: DOJ reportedly asked Ferguson cops not to release robbery video

The problem with the release, as it was conducted, is the idiot Police Chief did not establish relevance to the shooting. In fact, he implied the shooting had no connection with the robbery whatsoever. If that is what he believes, he should not have released the tape. The timing to coincide with release of the name of the officer stunk to high heaven.

What bothers me here is that you clearly have a local, incompetent police force that was, behind the scenes, being directed by an "incompetent" federal agency.

The Ferguson group is special, but when you've got the DOJ breathing down your neck, your stupidity will be multiplied due to outside pressure.
