It takes a LONG TIME, usually hours and often much longer than four hours, to do all the careful photography and measurements, etc, to properly document it. And no doubt, police wanted to be extra-careful to document the scene where one of their own shot someone dead in broad daylight.<br /><br />Look up recent deaths and note how long, if the news reports give the info, how long it was before the body was removed from the scene. There have been many much, much longer than four hours.<br /><br />This is, please, NOT to excuse in any way what happened when Brown was shot to death. None of us knows the details because the police have given us almost none.gyrfalconnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611810694571930415.post-31171233834478079922014-08-26T23:59:13.232-04:002014-08-26T23:59:13.232-04:00I did that the other day.
