Because of death threats from the public.
Wonder if they would give the same treatment to a suspect who shot a police officer who was getting threats from the public!
I guarantee they would not only release the name but also any background that made him look bad!
Cops are so clueless they don't even understand how bad this double standard looks!

(16,072 posts)It's not that the cops are clueless about how bad this double standard looks...the fact is that they just don't care!
The word of one bad cop is more dependable then the eyewitness account of any number of witnesses...hell if Christ came to earth to testify against this cop, the jury would still find the cop not guilty!!!

(5,066 posts)Cops protect their own.In florida there were reports that zimmerman may have been helped by fact there were rasist cops In department.Even if others in department know a cop Is bad they still protect him.
Even if officer who killed Michael Brown were to be tried he would likely be found not guilty.
