Scholar, can you tell me what a "tax layer" is while you are at it?

Reason, probably a radiator pusher that is more adept at chasing tail lights.

Scholar by stating a new leader in the department would make this much easier, are you referring to going back to the "good ole boy system" where the cops cover for each other and victimize everyone else?

Based on his/her grammar and true persona reflected in the obviously angry later postings, I suspect that if this quality of writing reflects his/her ability to complete police reports, it explains a lot of why he/she is bitter.

Another consideration is that the media generally call the police every hour on the hour for information on cases like this. How much of this was paraphrased by news staff and how much of it is quotations? Spreading information around that could interfere with an investigation by intimidating potential witnesses or alter the perception of potential jury pool candidates is a crime. People should be careful what they say for the unintended consequences that result. If you want to be mad about wasted tax money on sidetrack investigations be mad at the rumor mongers since failure to follow up on any source of information could have serious ramifications once the matter goes to trial and a person is charged.

There is no deputy chief right now so the chief is probably pretty much stuck putting out most of the information so the investigators can try to do their job without distractions.

Hey scholar, I'm sure you have voiced your concerns to the powers that be and have documented evidence to back up your claims right? Pretty petty to take our your vendetta at the cost of the sorrow of a family and the image of a community. If you are with EPD I think I'll move out in the county.

Hey Scholar what is a "lier?"

Me, here's your first posting "Second, the police know this wasn't a random shooting, because the police are the ones who sent Mr. Flores to the Rodeway to begin with. The police should have kept eyes on his vehicle if Mr. Flores was helping them make a bust. It wouldn't have saved his life, but it would of kept the shooter from getting away."

I don't see the "if" until your second posting. I'd sure be happy if you would like to share with the rest of us how you know this information?

You know the old adage, if you tell a lie to enough people, it becomes the truth. I hope the cops get a civil attorney and sue some people for slander. The paper too for allowing these less-than-factual postings to remain.

If you have so much proof of police misconduct you are obligated by law to turn it over to the county attorney or the state attorney general. Failure to do so and it comes out later, you can be prosecuted.

New thought - same thread: In consideration, not that it matters much, I can no longer participate in the denegration that takes place here. It serves no purpose and I see no improvement in the negative slant that seems to happen here. I suspect that if Jesus Christ himself posted here, somebody would find something wrong with him, but at least he is used to being crucified I guess. I wish you all well. Hopefully the positive aspects of this community will prevail.
