Having lived through this, I can attest to the general accuracy of this documentary with an exception.

No doubt! For the media to do that, it really shows you that they care more about a story, than human life...! It's quite sickening! Chief Moose was under enough pressure already, and then they go and pull a stunt like that.....
One news conference the police said the truckers (I believe there was 2) wished to keep their identity withheld. Certainly can't blame them with the way the media is
After watching this I can understand why the police and media don't get a long most times. The media behaved so badly and in my opinion was responsible for some of the people who died.
I agree 100%. They truly are at the bottom with serial killers and rapists. Fuck the media. If another "Lee Malvo" starts taking out media scum, I know there are quite a few who would not feel sorry for them at all.
Mohamed wanted to shoot 6 white people a day for a month, but you somehow think the media had anything to do with it. The media is the only reason they were found.
One of the officers couldn't keep his mouth shut....thats who was really at fault. A bad media is alot harder/impossible to maintain, as it's a reflection of your whole culture at that moment. I don't blame that chief though, I blame the public for having pretty low standards of conduct by officers in a few key ways in several police districts.... We've got a good department where I live now, but about half the outside hires we end up getting rid of because they are, frankly a liability--hot-headed and/or immature.
During this time I saw a cop working a traffic accident like a sitting duck. It wasn't sniper-related which was heroic duty. It was just a wreck that needed a cop. And he worked it out in the open without backup. That left an impression on me.

Yeah, it started to really bother him. If I recall, correctly, after the kid was shot, Chief Moose almost broke down into tears..... I live in Fredericksburg, VA., so I was watching everything that had to do with this case/investigation.
Place yourself in his shoes, it's allready burdening carrying responsibility for kids or even a drunk friend, now imagine it's the entire district and it's their lives at stake.
The way I remember it, Two truckers confirmed the tag, blocked the entrance and exit, I dont think they got the reward.We need a Truckers alert on alot of things like this.I started a Trucker news net,but we need an app with pictures,like the amber alert. I'm probably going to have to make one myself. Just give us a tag number and we are on it...I remember driving through Ohio when that guy was up there too. A heads up with some Intel would be appreciated... - Peace🎩
350k went to the snipers friend in Tacoma who identified and gave all info on both killers after realizing it was for sure his friend. The other 150k went to the first person who called in the license plate per police phone logs.
@@abigaildeeks8328 The guys were sleeping in the car so they weren't going anywhere. The original caller who first called in the license plates at the rest stop got 150k. The 350k went to the guy who first identified the actual killers, whom he was friends with. The truckers could have actually caused more chaos, blocking the exit, waking the guys up, which could have lead to a hostage situation. Generally what they did was good, but it may have been smarter to have one trucker watch the car, and the other trucker be on the ready to block the exit if the car started to leave. Fortunately things worked out. Also, most of the 1/2 million that was awarded, ended up being given by the two to the families of the victims, so in the end, the victims families got most of the money. So its all good.
Man only if what people knew what that man went through. He is a true national hero in my eyes. Not only dealing with one of the most horrific serial killings in US history, but dealing with the media as well. Most people would have quit that job. I bet he didn't get very much sleep due to the stress of it all.
@@leo29hornsfan I was also very impressed by police chief Moose while watching this; such genuine displays of sympathy are rare, both amongst the police and in general.
That won't stop a disgruntled killer . The news is probably the only means of getting the word out about cases like this . it's people do these things at the end of the day .there is pretty much no point blaming the news
@@mrronan2007 Cable 'news' shows are produced to make money, not to inform or protect the populace. They make more money from tragedy and pain, and aren't really in the business of stopping anything.

Heading south out of Washington, driving a big truck.. ( tractor trailer) I was following a white van in the right lane. Suddenly a group of press jumped out from the trees onto the apron of the roadway. The Van hit their brakes...I lit up my trailer tires not to run into the back of the van. This could have ended badly. I was using my air horn to get that van going!.. Seeing I was trying not to hit him. The van took off.. No wreck... Thank God.! ... Stupid press, for what? Someone could have gotten killed. The truck driver usually gets the blame. A truck driver got these guys in a rest area...
You're full of shit. Its thousands upon thousands of white vans on the Freeway. No way did the media jump from trees to stop one white van. How the fuck would they even know where and when this said white van would pass that area. Who the fuck jumps out of trees on a highway? Why would the van even stop. None of what you said makes any sense.
Anyone who says that the Police are inhuman and anti general public should just view the tears streaming down Chief Moose's face. What a great officer this guy is; humane, balanced and stoic.As conspiratorial as this sounds, I firmly believe that the press played a macabre hand in this tragedy by prompting leaks and reporting these fragments of information.
I hear that. Still their just killers shooting citizens in some eyes. I think cops get a bad rap. Mostly social media and these millenials. Cops dont get credit when they do good, just catch nationwide press when one of them makes a mistake, and shoots a thug who was unarmed etc
Very well done and respectful how each victim is shown with their name and age. This tragedy seems to focus on the killers but this video took a minute to remember the victims.
To keep schools open with a sniper running around was a very dumb thing to do. I know that I would never send my child to school with a psycho sniper running around killing people.
"Finally, after 22 days of murder and mayhem Chief Moose and his investigators had the prime sniper suspects in custody." Yeah all thanks to an attentive truck driver whom the police didn't even bother to mention my name, or sought fit to thank. Instead they all slapped each other on the back and congratulated each other for a job well done. They should have stood up there at that podium and apologized for their inept handling of this investigation, and in which their bungling cost lives.

"Bureau of alcohol, tobacco and firearms"..... I'm from the Netherlands and I'm flabbergasted how, in America, firearms fall in the same category as alcohol and tobacco......
They're not under the "same category." They are just three things this particular federal agency, a bureau within the federal Department of Justice, deals with, chosen only because there's no other agency or bureau the three things properly fit into.
I was living in Bellingham at the time Mohomad was living in the homeless shelter. I saw him outside with that duffel bag...not knowing his ar15 was inside that bag.
I lived in Germantown, MD with my family at time of the killings. We were all terrified by this episode. I remember going to the gas station and standing so my car door and the gas pumps blocked the view of a potential sniper - pretty useless but I had to do something. The "white van" lead was ridiculous considering the hundreds, or even thousands, of white vans used by tradespeople in the DC area. We have often stopped in the rest area where the snipers were apprehended on WB I-70 between Frederick and Hagerstown, MD. As it turns out, the snipers used a Chevy car with a hole dilled in the trunk. It is on display at the Newseum in DC.
I remember this all to well as I live in DC & also lived in Montgomery County. It did have a way of putting an uncertain fear inside of me, my friends & some clients to just get in/out of our car or go into a convenient store! I was constantly looking over my shoulder as I work outdoors so at times I felt like a sitting duck ! It was a tense time for sure!
R P Boi stfu nowhere in the Quran says to forcefully convert people and attack people of other religions if you’re not attacked yourself; I have read the book front to back 3 times in my life, in 4 different languages.

So fuck off with that shit dude.
22:13, the lead on the white van - I was in the area at the time and the thing about the white van was very true and this documentary understates how terrified people were - when the lead on the white van came out, people were remarking how white vans were EVERYWHERE and how common they were and white vans were being pulled over all the time for inspection they also don't talk about the roadside inspections where they were checking EVERY vehicle coming in the Beltway and that made a 20 minute commute a 3+hour trip so everyone was exhausted and many people were driving in the side lanes- the traffic congestion was horrible and since people were in the side emergency lane, it was blocking ambulences and all kinds of secondary medical problems were happening as people were unable to get to medicine like insulin they had at home or to doctors or hospitals- since even the emergency the lanes were blocked by jerks trying to get around the checkstops, it blocked access for emergency vehicles so fires were worse and many people died who wouldn't have otherwise and weren't direct shooting victims of the Beltway Snipers because of lack of ambulance access also they blame the media for misleading the public about the white van but the police don't mention that they had pegged the sniper as a typical white lone wolf type guy, and they were way off on that one the fear was thick in the air, palatable and everyones eyes were darting around in terror it was almost surreal

You mean CNN, MSNBC, etc. You can't possibly blame one channel for breaking it if the others then dogpile on it afterwards. That's just intellectually disingenuous. Even Fox News jumped on this, because as much as you want to blame one company, they all operate on the same level.

Am wondering what year this actually did happen. The opening scene starts out ``. . . .that October was . . .'' am looking it up . . . OK, was '02. Oh, edited to say, annoyed that Don Vito uses ``u'' character for word, ``you.''
Lmao that caught me too. I guess he thinks the public's knowlege of guns is so rudimentary that he had to dumb it down as much as he did, to the point where it's just wrong lol
I recently listened to a great audiobook on the DC sniper case: "Call me god". Even though it was written by former FBI agent, it really highlights the ineptitude of US law enforcement. One unbelievable scene was when they found a letter, suspected to be from the killer, near one of the crime scenes. In the middle of one of the biggest investigations in US history, there was no proper organization. The local town sheriff, stood in a car park, surrounded by a random collection of representatives from the myriad of redundant law enforcement agencies and called for a show of hands to decide what they should do with the evidence just discovered. The only reason the killers were found was that someone who knew them called the FBI and told them who their identities and the car they were driving.
Regardless they'd of been caught.. When u have a sniper loose in a city how can u do tings in a organised fashion it was on the fly bro.... Hard to stop a gunman in a boot
I know the media would say they've got a job to do... I'd have thought they have a bigger job to exercise their brains and consciences and use some common sense. It it wasn't released by the Chief, don't report it.
@callyharley Sadly, it's been proven that the police lie ALL the time. If cops would start being honest maybe the media would be willing to trust what the police tell them and only report that info. Don't blame the media for a problem that cops created. And "we the people" SHOULD NOT allow the government to make laws to censor the free press. That's a really slippery slope that we should not want to go down.
@Mildly Amusing Channel Don't lump the police in with the media. There are something like 18,000 law enforcement agencies in the United States. They form part of the public trust, which they sometimes break. But for the most part, they do what we need them to do. The media? A very different beast. Truth in reporting is not its priority. Profit is at the top of the list, which makes them far more mercenary in the way they conduct themselves. They have agendas, they have biases. Not only does the truth not matter anymore, facts don't matter anymore.
Anyone remember how the media turned on the chief of police because he was mad at the media n called them out for releasing the information about the card. How they started releasing info about his life. Following his family.
My uncle lived right around the corner he was terrified. I was in middle school when 9/11 happened and then this happened.....f’d up years in my lifetime I’ll never forget.
God, that was such a crazy frightening time. One of the shootings (the boy at Benjamin Tasker Middle School) happened on my work commute, on a two lane road. Somehow I missed the shooting by five minutes. A few days later I was at work in an office building in Bowie when a white box truck was pulled over, surrounded by six county/unmarked police cars, the driver was face down on the pavement, handcuffed, with at least three guns pointed at his head. After a very tense 90-100 minutes, the driver was let go, probably scared out of his mind. The whole time period was tense and unlike anything I had ever seen before. The memories are still so vivid, almost 20 years later.
I have known an ex-French Foreign Legion, if you knew one you wouldn't dismiss it so fast. Luckily most of them continue as Mercenaries rather than taking it out on the public.
@Samsung McKone I also used to think they were the fourth estate but once I looked into it I realized that they are not. The mainstream media has an agenda and has lied multiple times. This is well documented. They have abdicated their role as the "fourth estate" and actively work to subvert the republic. Look up the annual FBI "Operation Cross Country", which arrests people who are prostituting children, and ask yourself why the perpetrators are never listed by name or have their photos shown by national media. Some local news organizations will publish the names and photos and the perpetrators are overwhelmingly Black. The MSM lies by omission when they decide not to cover it. We still hear about Dylann Roof, the scumbag who killed Black people at a church but there have been at least two shootings of Whites in churches by Blacks and you can't name the killers. The story is buried.
@Samsung McKone Typical. I responded to you with a statement of facts and you come back with an accusatory wall of text. Here's an example of CNN lying through selective editing. "With his sister calling for peace" when she was actually telling the rioters to attack the White suburbs. Yes, they apologized after the outrage when they were called out by other non-MSM journalists. What else could they do? czcams.com/video/ZpWf6b2T3uE/video.html Based on your response I know you'll just come up with another wall of text insinuating that I am a conspiracy theorist so I'm not going to bother giving you other evidence. It exists in abundance. No one is buying your "fourth estate" delusion any more.
@Blood Beryl That reminds me, _your_ mother told me to tell you get off YT and do your middle-school homework. Right after she coughed up a load of my spunk.
Could the chief not just shut out the media? I think in most countries the police would just say "no comment". Then again, this doesn't really happen anywhere else. Much respect for the guy though, he must have been under immens pressure.
By the way, has anyone looked into who was giving the press information before the police? I'd want them up on obstruction of justice charges at the very least!
Probably a cop with a conscience - maybe with children themselves - thinking the public should be aware of the danger. Would you, if you were a resident of the area, prefer to have this information kept from you?
Mike Sheen more people got killed because the media released everything the police were doing to try to catch the sniper. I would prefer the police catch the murderers and not the media, so yes I would prefer that they not mess with an investigation involving a mass murderer on the loose.
To be honest, I would much rather have the police catch the creep first, THEN have the press report on it! In this instance though, the danger was clear so warning the public was important. HOWEVER. There's a big difference between warning the innocent and telling the perp what the police know, or worse, releasing information BEFORE the police have a chance to act on it. Lives were at stake. How many people died because the shooters were forewarned by the press? In my opinion. That kind of reporting should leave you open to prosecution as an accessory. Now, before all you Americans start screaming about the first amendment, let me say this. The press have a great deal of power and to quote the late awesome Mr Lee, with great power comes great responsibility. The modern press seem to have forgotten that.
@@MikeSheen1972 it seems to have come from the Federal level. one message was media released an hour before the local police even got the read the note. Cops get into barrier fights all the time; the RCMP and local cops have real hard ons for each other, especially Quebec le Surette and Vancouver police. they either want all the lglory or it's get even time and destroy the others' credibilty for later. Seen it myself.
223 and the 22 cal family are squirl/light game rounds, its actaully very small compared to other rifle rounds, it's one of the smallest rifle rounds, as a hunter I know that.
It's interesting that the FBI formulated a profile of the killer, yet they didn't relate the specifics in the documentary when given the opportunity. I'm sure that the profile was exact, because they're expert FBI profilers, yet surely they could have lauded the work done by themselves to augment the public's belief that they are good at catching killers
I live 15 mins. away from the Fredericksburg Gas Station death..... Everyone was terrified around here and when they say they closed 95, they closed it...!!!! No traffic moved anywhere for hours and hours..... People really were ducking down and weaving back and forth, as they pumped gas! Every death was horrible and so very sad..... But one stands out so much more to me, than the others. I try to think about, how I would have dealt with the same thing happening to me..... It was the Home Depot shooting 40 mins. north of me. A husband and wife were loading their vehicle, and for whatever reason they switched spots. The wife was killed, standing where her husband stood, just seconds before.....
I remember watching the news for a month straight following this story. It was pretty insane and people thought it was more attacks because 9/11 was still fresh in everyone's mind.
I remember when they sent an army of agents into the North Carolina woods after Eric Robert Rudolph and couldn't find him! Years later a dirt road deputy on his first day out of orientation caught him dumpster diving!
I'm pretty sure this is narrated by Ian McShane and the Sniper's first name was John? It took several years but that was an even better choice than originally intended
That's stupid the media waited to confirm the sniper was off the street to release the information but what they should of waited on, they didn't hesitate to release...
This is why we appreciate all cops. Local, County, State & Federal. They protect us from these lunatics & crazies and bring those responsible to justice. Not an easy nor lucrative job. Like our brave men & women serving in America’s armed forces, never forget. Their human, capable of making mistakes. While you run from harm, they ran at it.

Yep. We were told by the media that it was a White man with a white Chevy van. Gave lots of cover to the killers.
The way I remember it, Two truckers confirmed the tag, blocked the entrance and exit, I dont think they got the reward.We need a Truckers alert on alot of things like this.I started a Trucker news net,but we need an app with pictures,like the amber alert. I'm probably going to have to make one myself. Just give us a tag number and we are on it...I remember driving through Ohio when that guy was up there too. A heads up with some Intel would be appreciated... - Peace🎩
Truckinstuff I read that about the truckers.
They should have been given a lot more credit!
They knew these guys were armed and VERY dangerous!
350k went to the snipers friend in Tacoma who identified and gave all info on both killers after realizing it was for sure his friend.
The other 150k went to the first person who called in the license plate per police phone logs.
Truckinstuff So the people who made it possible to collar these murderes hardly get credit and no reward money ? Not fair!!!!
@@abigaildeeks8328 The guys were sleeping in the car so they weren't going anywhere.
The original caller who first called in the license plates at the rest stop got 150k.
The 350k went to the guy who first identified the actual killers, whom he was friends with.
The truckers could have actually caused more chaos, blocking the exit, waking the guys up, which could have lead to a hostage situation. Generally what they did was good, but it may have been smarter to have one trucker watch the car, and the other trucker be on the ready to block the exit if the car started to leave.
Fortunately things worked out.
Also, most of the 1/2 million that was awarded, ended up being given by the two to the families of the victims, so in the end, the victims families got most of the money. So its all good.
What guy? You say I was in Ohio when that guy was up there
I remember feeling sadness on a new level and profound respect for Mr.Moose.

Thanks for the upload! This is a great doco followed in actual time. I had no idea it was such an unbelievable media circus
The chief crying really got to me...
Real tears
Man only if what people knew what that man went through. He is a true national hero in my eyes. Not only dealing with one of the most horrific serial killings in US history, but dealing with the media as well. Most people would have quit that job. I bet he didn't get very much sleep due to the stress of it all.

TURN OFF TV NEWS, you will live a better life
@Patrick Banfield and most of it is outright lies, or lies by omission, is inaccurate or otherwise fabricated. Who needs that?
Yep !!! I won't watch it at all ...
That won't stop a disgruntled killer . The news is probably the only means of getting the word out about cases like this . it's people do these things at the end of the day .there is pretty much no point blaming the news
I stopped watching the news a long time ago.
@@mrronan2007 Cable 'news' shows are produced to make money, not to inform or protect the populace. They make more money from tragedy and pain, and aren't really in the business of stopping anything. I manage to survive and stay informed without cable TV news. Also, local radio stations keep me informed of what I need to know.
Heading south out of Washington, driving a big truck.. ( tractor trailer) I was following a white van in the right lane. Suddenly a group of press jumped out from the trees onto the apron of the roadway. The Van hit their brakes...I lit up my trailer tires not to run into the back of the van. This could have ended badly. I was using my air horn to get that van going!.. Seeing I was trying not to hit him. The van took off.. No wreck... Thank God.! ... Stupid press, for what? Someone could have gotten killed. The truck driver usually gets the blame. A truck driver got these guys in a rest area...
Most truck accidents are by car or pick up prick drivers fault.
@Jin p No Way... Just glad I didn't take the guy out.......8 tires on trailer....
You're full of shit. Its thousands upon thousands of white vans on the Freeway. No way did the media jump from trees to stop one white van. How the fuck would they even know where and when this said white van would pass that area. Who the fuck jumps out of trees on a highway? Why would the van even stop. None of what you said makes any sense.
Excellent narration by Ian MacShane

Anyone who says that the Police are inhuman and anti general public should just view the tears streaming down Chief Moose's face. What a great officer this guy is; humane, balanced and stoic.As conspiratorial as this sounds, I firmly believe that the press played a macabre hand in this tragedy by prompting leaks and reporting these fragments of information.
True, Robert. Who on earth would have wanted to be in Moose's shoes?
Robert Dore generally cops are cool. A small portion of them are assholes
You would have whined the press wasn't doing their job if they had kept their mouth shut.
agree
I hear that. Still their just killers shooting citizens in some eyes. I think cops get a bad rap. Mostly social media and these millenials. Cops dont get credit when they do good, just catch nationwide press when one of them makes a mistake, and shoots a thug who was unarmed etc
The video quality makes me feel old.

This sniper was pure evil.
To keep schools open with a sniper running around was a very dumb thing to do. I know that I would never send my child to school with a psycho sniper running around killing people.
How would you know? The news organization is corrupt to
Indeed.
They cancelled all outdoor activities baseball, football etc..
"Finally, after 22 days of murder and mayhem Chief Moose and his investigators had the prime sniper suspects in custody." Yeah all thanks to an attentive truck driver whom the police didn't even bother to mention my name, or sought fit to thank. Instead they all slapped each other on the back and congratulated each other for a job well done. They should have stood up there at that podium and apologized for their inept handling of this investigation, and in which their bungling cost lives.
Were you the truck driver?
You was the truck driver?..You said they didn't mention my name or did you mean by name??..If SO I will like to Thank You Sir.

I was living in Bellingham at the time Mohomad was living in the homeless shelter. I saw him outside with that duffel bag...not knowing his ar15 was inside that bag.
Oh, the evil that men do...these cowards are despicable
Women do just as bad.
most terrifying time it was like waking up every single day to find out whats next,
I lived in Germantown, MD with my family at time of the killings. We were all terrified by this episode. I remember going to the gas station and standing so my car door and the gas pumps blocked the view of a potential sniper - pretty useless but I had to do something. The "white van" lead was ridiculous considering the hundreds, or even thousands, of white vans used by tradespeople in the DC area. We have often stopped in the rest area where the snipers were apprehended on WB I-70 between Frederick and Hagerstown, MD. As it turns out, the snipers used a Chevy car with a hole dilled in the trunk. It is on display at the Newseum in DC.
I remember this all to well as I live in DC & also lived in Montgomery County. It did have a way of putting an uncertain fear inside of me, my friends & some clients to just get in/out of our car or go into a convenient store! I was constantly looking over my shoulder as I work outdoors so at times I felt like a sitting duck ! It was a tense time for sure!

22:13, the lead on the white van - I was in the area at the time and the thing about the white van was very true and this documentary understates how terrified people were - when the lead on the white van came out, people were remarking how white vans were EVERYWHERE and how common they were and white vans were being pulled over all the time for inspection
they also don't talk about the roadside inspections where they were checking EVERY vehicle coming in the Beltway and that made a 20 minute commute a 3+hour trip so everyone was exhausted and many people were driving in the side lanes- the traffic congestion was horrible and since people were in the side emergency lane, it was blocking ambulences and all kinds of secondary medical problems were happening as people were unable to get to medicine like insulin they had at home or to doctors or hospitals- since even the emergency the lanes were blocked by jerks trying to get around the checkstops, it blocked access for emergency vehicles so fires were worse and many people died who wouldn't have otherwise and weren't direct shooting victims of the Beltway Snipers because of lack of ambulance access
also they blame the media for misleading the public about the white van but the police don't mention that they had pegged the sniper as a typical white lone wolf type guy, and they were way off on that one
the fear was thick in the air, palatable and everyones eyes were darting around in terror it was almost surreal
I remember details such as you mention.

Oh my...am watching this on Thursday 3 October 😳😳😳2019
Brenda Nkhoma am really annoyed that instead of I am or I’m u say am
Am wondering what year this actually did happen. The opening scene starts out ``. . . .that October was . . .'' am looking it up . . . OK, was '02. Oh, edited to say, annoyed that Don Vito uses ``u'' character for word, ``you.''
did the ATF gun guy actually say "the head of the bullet...the projectile that leaves the bullet"? wow...what an informed expert
Lmao that caught me too. I guess he thinks the public's knowlege of guns is so rudimentary that he had to dumb it down as much as he did, to the point where it's just wrong lol
RIP those who passed from this tragic event..
"But this October, everything changed." That is how the video begins. Makes one wonder just what was cut out?
I recently listened to a great audiobook on the DC sniper case: "Call me god". Even though it was written by former FBI agent, it really highlights the ineptitude of US law enforcement. One unbelievable scene was when they found a letter, suspected to be from the killer, near one of the crime scenes. In the middle of one of the biggest investigations in US history, there was no proper organization. The local town sheriff, stood in a car park, surrounded by a random collection of representatives from the myriad of redundant law enforcement agencies and called for a show of hands to decide what they should do with the evidence just discovered. The only reason the killers were found was that someone who knew them called the FBI and told them who their identities and the car they were driving.
Regardless they'd of been caught.. When u have a sniper loose in a city how can u do tings in a organised fashion it was on the fly bro.... Hard to stop a gunman in a boot
I know the media would say they've got a job to do... I'd have thought they have a bigger job to exercise their brains and consciences and use some common sense. It it wasn't released by the Chief, don't report it.
Definitely past time for laws to control what they do since they don’t seem to have common sense
@callyharley
Sadly, it's been proven that the police lie ALL the time. If cops would start being honest maybe the media would be willing to trust what the police tell them and only report that info. Don't blame the media for a problem that cops created. And "we the people" SHOULD NOT allow the government to make laws to censor the free press. That's a really slippery slope that we should not want to go down.
@Mildly Amusing Channel Don't lump the police in with the media. There are something like 18,000 law enforcement agencies in the United States. They form part of the public trust, which they sometimes break. But for the most part, they do what we need them to do.
The media? A very different beast. Truth in reporting is not its priority. Profit is at the top of the list, which makes them far more mercenary in the way they conduct themselves. They have agendas, they have biases. Not only does the truth not matter anymore, facts don't matter anymore.

i lived in dc suburb chief moose excellent job
Anyone remember how the media turned on the chief of police because he was mad at the media n called them out for releasing the information about the card. How they started releasing info about his life. Following his family.
My uncle lived right around the corner he was terrified. I was in middle school when 9/11 happened and then this happened.....f’d up years in my lifetime I’ll never forget.
God, that was such a crazy frightening time. One of the shootings (the boy at Benjamin Tasker Middle School) happened on my work commute, on a two lane road. Somehow I missed the shooting by five minutes. A few days later I was at work in an office building in Bowie when a white box truck was pulled over, surrounded by six county/unmarked police cars, the driver was face down on the pavement, handcuffed, with at least three guns pointed at his head. After a very tense 90-100 minutes, the driver was let go, probably scared out of his mind. The whole time period was tense and unlike anything I had ever seen before. The memories are still so vivid, almost 20 years later.
I say fire all the reporters responsible along with the cop that leaked it!

@Samsung McKone
I also used to think they were the fourth estate but once I looked into it I realized that they are not. The mainstream media has an agenda and has lied multiple times. This is well documented. They have abdicated their role as the "fourth estate" and actively work to subvert the republic. Look up the annual FBI "Operation Cross Country", which arrests people who are prostituting children, and ask yourself why the perpetrators are never listed by name or have their photos shown by national media. Some local news organizations will publish the names and photos and the perpetrators are overwhelmingly Black. The MSM lies by omission when they decide not to cover it.
We still hear about Dylann Roof, the scumbag who killed Black people at a church but there have been at least two shootings of Whites in churches by Blacks and you can't name the killers. The story is buried.
@Samsung McKone
Typical. I responded to you with a statement of facts and you come back with an accusatory wall of text.
Here's an example of CNN lying through selective editing. "With his sister calling for peace" when she was actually telling the rioters to attack the White suburbs. Yes, they apologized after the outrage when they were called out by other non-MSM journalists. What else could they do?
czcams.com/video/ZpWf6b2T3uE/video.html
Based on your response I know you'll just come up with another wall of text insinuating that I am a conspiracy theorist so I'm not going to bother giving you other evidence. It exists in abundance. No one is buying your "fourth estate" delusion any more.

Could the chief not just shut out the media? I think in most countries the police would just say "no comment". Then again, this doesn't really happen anywhere else.
Much respect for the guy though, he must have been under immens pressure.
By the way, has anyone looked into who was giving the press information before the police? I'd want them up on obstruction of justice charges at the very least!
Probably a cop with a conscience - maybe with children themselves - thinking the public should be aware of the danger. Would you, if you were a resident of the area, prefer to have this information kept from you?
Mike Sheen more people got killed because the media released everything the police were doing to try to catch the sniper. I would prefer the police catch the murderers and not the media, so yes I would prefer that they not mess with an investigation involving a mass murderer on the loose.
@@tylertucker2758 Fair call. I wasn't condoning the leak of information, just stating why someone would do it.
To be honest, I would much rather have the police catch the creep first, THEN have the press report on it! In this instance though, the danger was clear so warning the public was important. HOWEVER. There's a big difference between warning the innocent and telling the perp what the police know, or worse, releasing information BEFORE the police have a chance to act on it. Lives were at stake. How many people died because the shooters were forewarned by the press? In my opinion. That kind of reporting should leave you open to prosecution as an accessory. Now, before all you Americans start screaming about the first amendment, let me say this. The press have a great deal of power and to quote the late awesome Mr Lee, with great power comes great responsibility. The modern press seem to have forgotten that.
@@MikeSheen1972 it seems to have come from the Federal level. one message was media released an hour before the local police even got the read the note. Cops get into barrier fights all the time; the RCMP and local cops have real hard ons for each other, especially Quebec le Surette and Vancouver police. they either want all the lglory or it's get even time and destroy the others' credibilty for later. Seen it myself.

It's interesting that the FBI formulated a profile of the killer, yet they didn't relate the specifics in the documentary when given the opportunity. I'm sure that the profile was exact, because they're expert FBI profilers, yet surely they could have lauded the work done by themselves to augment the public's belief that they are good at catching killers

I live 15 mins. away from the Fredericksburg Gas Station death..... Everyone was terrified around here and when they say they closed 95, they closed it...!!!! No traffic moved anywhere for hours and hours..... People really were ducking down and weaving back and forth, as they pumped gas! Every death was horrible and so very sad..... But one stands out so much more to me, than the others. I try to think about, how I would have dealt with the same thing happening to me..... It was the Home Depot shooting 40 mins. north of me. A husband and wife were loading their vehicle, and for whatever reason they switched spots. The wife was killed, standing where her husband stood, just seconds before.....
I remember watching the news for a month straight following this story. It was pretty insane and people thought it was more attacks because 9/11 was still fresh in everyone's mind.
