Is it a double standard the cops won't release the name of one of their own?

you read that reason article, too?

It is absolutely a double standard similar to how cops don't get placed in general population if they go to prison. I do think that if the cop is charged with a crime that his name will be released.

That's not true. I've seen many times a shop owner or a civilians name is withheld until the investigation is complete.

I have read that Anonymous is going to release the name...

The Anonymous crew on this shift is fricking terrible. They haven't done anything right.

What if the officer is gay, Toddy? Would you still want his name released?

wasn't that just basically retweeting an alleged pic of that scenario?

Civilians' names are not always released, and cops' names are not always withheld. So I would say no, not necessarily a double standard. But I see your point.

I wonder if the events following the incident hadn't have happened or were less extreme, they might have released his name.

It probably also has to do with the fact that the officer is in an ongoing investigation, until everything is settled we won't know much about the cop.

note: double standard or not it makes sense that they are keeping his name under raps and I agree with it. He be dead within hours if his name was made public.
