the only refs i see to this assertion is from non-credible sources (e.g., rightscoop and weaselzippers??? c'mon). the former refs an msnbc reporter who merely ASKS the question, did DOJ do this; she was NOT reporting that either the DOJ had advised against it or that the police had rejected that advice.

just for the record, had the DOJ requested they withhold it, and the police refused, it's just another nail in the coffin for the ferguson PD in a civil case against their actions.

oddly, the police chief (not defending him, but hey howdy, would NOT wanna be him right now) came right out and said he was acting under command of st. louis cty when that decision was made, had not yet made command transition to MO HP. in his head, i guess.

what a mess.

still, may i again ask for you link on this; otherwise, your assertion is all still speculation.
