DC cop techniques

[Max B. Sawicky]

. . . Then, on Sunday, a man wearing a black bandanna was singled out by 
police in a sea of protesters and found with bottles of gasoline in 
his backpack, Ramsey said. How did they discover the one person with 
lethal possessions in the middle of the crowd? Yesterday, they 
indicated that other protesters had fingered him. . . .

I thought it was curious that the person arrested
was never named in the paper.  Unless he was underage,
there is no privacy right in this respect.  Ordinarily
in such circumstances the fuzz would announce charges
and display the merchandise, and the press would hound
the person a bit, but his face was never shown on tv.
There has been no subsequent news about this arrest.
If I had to bet, it would be that the incident was
staged to further justify police misconduct.
