They’re probably hoping that “post election” there will be a lot less press on the subject. Plus if they announced charges against the Allen staffers on Monday – it would be 1) National News and 2)would definitely affect the election [although that effect could just as easily mean raising the ire of republicans enough to motivate them (further?) to get out and vote].
Generally the police don’t “shine” when there’s a national spotlight on them.
There was a time when a news reporter would not merely read a PD Press Release, but would have called the Chief and asked him why assault charges had not been filed. You know, pursue the story. Guess it takes a freelancer, and former Marine to ask the tough questions. And they wonder why their audience is going away.
