It's cops like this guy that screw it up for all of them, if you ask me.
I like to think the reason they're not identifying him is because he's going to be penalized (suspended or fired?) for the false charges. More likely, though, I'd guess he's not Caucasian. It wouldn't be newsworthy unless he was.
New Orleans, LA - Earlier this month, news reports across the country ran with headlines about a police officer being shot in New Orleans, LA during an apparent struggle in front of a gas station. That suspect in the shooting, 18-year-old Michael Baker was promptly arrested at the scene and charged with attempted murder of a police officer. The case was open and shut and police had their man - that is until they reviewed the surveillance footage and found that Baker didn't pull the trigger - the cop did.

What is the point of rules that are not enforced?
