The chaos going on, error -- erroneous reports. i give them the benefit of the doubt, the fog of war, uncertainty in those situations. what i would love to see them tighten up from my perspective is the messaging, the information theyre giving out. initially there were a lot of press conferences that the metropolitan police department gave. in some of them it was a full rift. >> you think theyre stloesing too much or theorizing in public? >> i would like to see more discipline from the pr perspe...
