    Not clear. First they grabbed the wrong guy and let him go. Then the pigs said they had someone in custody. Then they said they released them, but it wasn’t clear if they meant the first or second person.

    I’m betting they know nothing because the state setup an online tipline and is begging for info.

      So the first guy they suspected was George Hodgson Zinn who apparently said something like ‘I’d do it again’ when he was near some of the cops. They let him go because he didn’t match footage they have of the shooter and he was in the wrong place for the shot. Then they rearrested him for obstruction of justice. I’m not sure on the second, maybe it’s the same person and they got mixed up with a game of telephone.

        Why did he get arrested for obstruction? Or is this just a childish rational police response of “we made ourselves look stupid so you have to suffer”?
