NRU Update

No surprises here, really, but this is what was reported from the review of LAPD files on Ruben Salazar's murder, so I guess I will post it. [Yes, I called it murder just as the coroner's inquest found he died at the hand of another. And a projectile of that kind in the head is hardly accidental.]

Apparently, beyond acknowledging that they were stupid, okay, they didn't really admit that... the police's report notes that they just admitted that mistakes were made. Wonder where they read that one?

Yeah... and their stupidity meant that they didn't really bother to figure out what really happened...

"The report acknowledged that its conclusions were limited on the key issue in Salazar's slaying — whether he was a victim of a plot by authorities — because sheriff's homicide detectives at the time discounted theories that the newsman was killed intentionally. As a result, they failed to ask questions that might have prevented the speculation and conspiracy theories that haunt the case to this day."

...or they knew all along and decided that the easiest way to bury the truth was to pretend to be serious bunglers.

And, if you buy this load of bull, I have several bridges to see you here in NM.

The Los Angeles Times did offer a link to the actual report, however, which is fun.

Time to watch some Sunday morning news shows...
