also catching up with the murder rate...

  Funny you mention that. I was reading about the Australian woman killed after calling 911 and the news was all over the place. Then suddenly the coverage stopped. I don't even have to mention it and everybody can already guess why it happened "suddenly".

    It's a travesty we have to "guess". Note how all the Officers' body cams were conveniently switch off during this horrific incident. I doubt we will ever know let alone get significant change to what is a very disturbing problem.

    I can't guess. Please fill me in. It's front page news here in Oz. But the article I am reading - understandably - concentrates on why the body camera was off. I am more concerned by the fact that it seems (according to meager, circumstantial evidenence we have) that the policeman turned up and shot what seems to be an innocent witness.

    I guess I'll say it. They cut off the reporting as soon as they mentioned/discovered he was a Somalian refugee named Mohamed Noor that was rushed through the police academy. The media couldn't push their sensationalist garbage so they stopped reporting.

    The coverage Stopped? Funny I am seeing new updates as info is made available Google News has 2 stories on the front page and simply search shows new stories being posted in regular intervals with the lastest on 34 mins ago so no the coverage has not stopped

    It's been in the top three stories on Google news since it happened and still is this morning.

  are you implying that there is a correlation between civil forfeiture and Murder rate?
