DFO: For the life of me, I can’t figure out why police agencies keep names of officers involved in shootings away from us — and by extension, the public — for as long as possible. If an Average Joe or Jane is involved in the shooting, we know their names ASAP and can get them out to the public, unless a next-of-kin situation exists. Everyone’s going to find out eventually anyway.
