Frankly this is just garbage. Eye-witness accounts are pretty much the WORST thing to go by in a criminal investigation. They are almost without exception unrealiable. This has been proven time and time again. Specifically in this case, NOBODY saw the snipers fire the gun, because they were shooting from the closed trunk of a car. Anybody who says they saw a black man, or a white man for that matter was just making it up or seeing what they wanted to see. The police were correct to ignore most of them.

And dexactly how many other cars do you think were ticketed in those areas ove rhte course of the weeks? And the Police were supposed to know this one was the bad guys? Come on. Give us a break please?

No, the cops got lucky, and the bad guys got stupid. Honestly this is how most if not all cases are broken. The good guys keep working and watching and wait for the bad guys to make a mistake. That's the way it works. It's no different there than anywhere else.
