I think you're probably in the ballpark with your probabilities Todd.
I think it's the added wrinkle of "Bad PD" thrown in there being what's causing the majority of the issues. It's the appearance of improper response/coverup/whatever else that has inflamed things to this point.
If it had been dealt with better as it happened/in the immediate aftermath I don't think it gets this far out of control.
I get that they're all independent PD's, but it seems to me that this situation was really screaming for a more experienced/professional response from the PD from the instant after the shooting on.
Like there should be some county/state level officer who's job is to get called everytime there's an officer-involved shooting and coordinate everything from "okay yes there's an ambulance on the way. Okay, CSI is on the way" all the way through the PR. Because I think with an experienced person doing that you remove a lot of the flashpoints.
