I have just finished reading all of the published opinions. I have concluded that some of the "opinion-givers" have not read Mr. Hoffman's report, nor the summary. I do not live in Boise. I live in Pennsylvania. I live close to Indiana, Pa., where Doug and Craig were from. I am employed by one of the "major television networks". I have followed this case from the beginning and have accumulated quite a file on this incident. I have been in this business for almost a decade. I know there are good cops, bad cops and cops who make mistakes and try to cover it up. I believe that this incident was a mistake. There is definately a cover-up. The officers involved know the truth. So do the witnesses. Some of the witnesses fear for their lives. What happened the early morning of September 20, 1997 was so unnecessary. Signals got crossed and all of the officers involved did not communicate. What a shame. Lack of communication killed those two boys and an officer. What is really a shame is the FBI and the Justice Department. They have been dragging their feet on this. Why dont they get off of their rear ends and give the Brodrick family and the Stall family piece of mind?? Let this nightmare end for everyone involved!! How can the BPD sleep at night when they know that they took the lives of two innocent boys and one of their own?? The officers involved ought to be ashamed of themselves. Even though it was an accident..things got out of hand..lack of communication. I hope that someone involved that night has the guts to come forward and put and end to this. I must sign this anonymous, because media people are supposed to have opinions, and I do not wish to lose my job.
