The reasons:

1. No AK 47 or High Capacity “clip” was involved. Political hay cannot be made.
2. Hard to attach the “Poor boy gone wrong because of uncaring society” label to a stone cold killer. Political hay cannot be made.
3. One of the Officer killed was Latino. Hard to make a case against Racist Pigs. Political hay cannot be made.
4. The other Officer killed was a woman. Hard to make a case against Sexist Pigs. Political hay cannot be made.
5. No community or national faux religious “leader” available for comments. There is no political hay to be made.

Expect some small extra coverage of the officers during their burial, specially if lots of out of town cops come to pay their respects. It makes for good video.
