WI Shooting Followup - Still in "Gag Order" mode

[NukemJim]

No psychological evaluation, no mental tests, nothing, could have predicted this would have happened

Uhmm... Ehrrr..... Could you please show us the documentation on the above statement? Sorry I am not trying to be offensive but I do wonder where that came from.

Hi Rifleman,

What scares me is that this is the kind of incident the Founders wanted a free press for. When LEO's complain they aren't getting a fair shake or public trust... This is the sort of thing is the reason why. Who will guard us from our guardians?

Yup! Most thorough case of suicide we ever investigated!

Wasn't it Stalin who said, "Any fool can commit a murder. It takes an artist to commit a suicide."

The gag order doesn't surprise me at all. We had a questionable shoot go down a few years ago. A senior LEO working with a UC was caught in a firefight WITH NO WEAPON ON HIS PERSON.

It stunk to high heaven. The whole situation.

Gag order.

No one's talked about it since.

an almost universal approach government takes when it screws up. nothing really new.

most of the time when they clam up it is to avoid the embarrassment. but once in a while there is actually a good reason for it.

From the article....

The Journal Sentinel was told that reports and investigative materials related to the case were mailed last week, but so far nothing has arrived.

Wow. "It's in the mail"....

It's in the mail

Nothing like blaming it on another government agency.

So it's probably reasonable to assume that he committed the crime with a department-issued (or at the very least, approved) rifle. And when he tried to run for it, they opened fire.

Gotta wonder what the whole story really is.

"The Kegleys hindered the operation more than they helped," Van Cleve said. "They made themselves hostages. I think they thought they were being goody two-shoes and were going to talk the guy out. They should have gotten the hell out of there and let us do our job, and it would have gone much smoother."

Just the paranoid in me..but I have to say that statement certainly can be read more than one way...
