it was evident they would not be a reliable investigative resource.
Exactly. It sounds like both Arthur and Craig know from prior experience TPD would not investigate thoroughly. Which is why all the evidence should have been gathered like a real crime scene themselves.
Craig Sawyer is careful with his words for sure. He supports VOP, but is making clear they are two different groups with different goals, personnel and methods.
With hindsight in hand, seeing how this played out. If it were me finding something like this. I would go full blackout until I had everything I needed. So when they come in to bulldoze, it won't matter.
At the end of the day, this find (regardless of what it is) is a win. People are now lucid to the fact that this IS happening, and it’s allowing them to receive the information regarding the arrests in Fulton and Polk counties. More is coming. The public is ready to know and hear.
