I don't want to rush to judgment, but this sounds like Standard Operating Procedure. Let me guess, Elio Carrion is not white. Let me guess again. The shooter is white. Let me guess, one more time. The department is withholding judgment until a white official investigation is convened that will exonerate the white shooter. I'm just guessing. I'm sure there are plenty of white folks who are plenty pissed off about this - but this sounds like an instance where a little premeditated action would not be out of bounds. Let's see what works.
