No. Listen - investigations should NOT a game of when to release information or not. All relevant information is collected, then the suspect is either charged or not. If not charged, you can expect that the police will dump information to the public as to why no charges were warranted. If charges are levied, the evidence is turned over to the defense via discovery and the defense usually will decide how much to release prior to the trial.
I misspeak - the prosecutors office would dump the info if not charged.
Under normal circumstances I’d agree.
But these aren’t normal circumstances. Brown’s death is being leveraged for political purposes, to achieve political ends in what amounts to a no-huddle/hurry-up offence by the professional grievance industry.
If the cops wait until the “appropriate” time to release information the game will be long over. You can’t sit back and allow a political narrative rooted in “white cop executed black kid” to take hold and grow if it isn’t true.
Does it suck? Yes. But while it may not be the “approprite” thing to do, given the circumstances it may be the least-worst option.
