Your recollections are correct.
And so far as Moose knowing the nationality from the get go or for a while afterwards, I believe is bull. If one thinks that, one would have to believe there were others on the Taskforce that knew who these two were also.
True, but Chief Moose was the man.
If Moose was white, this accusation would have never been presented.
Nonsense. Just take a look at the beating the white profilers and journalists have taken, for saying the sniper had to be white. A white police chief would have taken all that and more -- demands for his dismissal.
Then demands for dismimissal would have to cover more than Moose (other chiefs involved, FBI, other heads of the Taskforce). All those that have such a hard on for Moose evidently suffer from a lack of viagra.
Unless one can prove that Moose had knowledge of the perps being black, then I think that they should just be quiet until they can provide the evidence.
In America I thought you are innocent until proving quilty.
While I was typing this respone, Fox News just played a recording of the call of October 15, which was not phoned into the Tip line but to Rockville City Police. The voice to me sounded as if he could have been a young hispanic, foreign, it had an accent. You would not readily assume it was a black male.
If you have not heard it, turn on one of the cable news stations, I'm sure they will play in numerous times today.
In Moose's statement of that day, he asked the caller to call back, because the person the caller talked to could not understand the caller.
