Power with Control
Think most folks stopped when the Sheriff went encrypted. Oddly enough, was looking over the Sheriffs reports and the following words caught my eye. Along the lines of "The reports the Sheriffs department has deemed of interest to the public". Which begs the question as to who is deciding that and what criteria they are using.
=anything that doesn't make the SO look bad?
I know the LEO Loyalty Association will be up in arms over this, but has anybody been watching the various programs on the JonBonnet Ramsey Investigation?
A&E had one in particular that was scary. According to their spin the Boulder police went into the investigation 100 percent certain it was a family member. They tried to make their mistakes (letting the father search the house) into an admission of guilt. They fed all sorts of lies to (false reports) to the media and denied the existence of certain evidence.
It was the District Attorney who had to bring in an outside investigator who developed pretty convincing evidence that the Ramsey's had nothing to do with the child's death, and that there was evidence that someone did get in the house through the basement window.
DA refused to press charges, police made it political and had the governor appoint a special prosecutor. Of course he got an indictment from a grand jury - which most intelligent people should know by now is almost 100 percent. Again the DA refused to prosecute, finally the new DA has to apologize and exonerate the family after years of intense media scrutiny.
Point, just because the police say it's so, doesn't mean it is. Obviously the relationship between the DA's office and the police department were damaged - and still are because the police are standing by their original premise and the DA's office (including career prosecutors) are just as adamant that the police blew the investigation and missed the real killer.
He who controls the information can shape public opinion.
