[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This from the Sherriff.... TMZ is slammed for its quest to become first.  In doing what they did, they become last in compassion.

Must have been leaked by his staff so he is just deflecting.[/quote]

Doesn’t matter - other news outlets knew, but chose not to report it initially.[/quote]

Except rumors were already all over Twitter and people were wondering if it was hoax. Better to actually know than to wonder. Cops need to work under a new model, they could have easily informed quicker. [/quote]

People?  So what if “people” were wondering if it was a hoax. I did too before it was confirmed and only TMZ was reporting it. It is more important for the families to know than for me to know for sure.[/quote]

The fact is the cops need to notify the family before their kids/family hear about it on Twitter.

The cops need to do a better job.

That is why the cops are blaming TMZ, it's a red herring and you fell for it hook, line and sinker.[/quote]
Do you work for TMZ, you dip$hit?[/quote]

No LEO and I know better than you.[/quote]
You’re a disgrace to your profession. And a disgrace of a human. 9 people died. It’s not your personal entertainment.[/quote]

It is the job of LEO to notify family quickly and they didn’t.

That is not TMZ’s fault.

From what I understand the crash was in a very hard to reach area, on the side of a mountain with trees, brush, etc and no road leading to it.  Hence when the helicopter went down it took a considerable amount of time for first responders to reach it and at that point it had been burning for some time making positive IDs difficult (I highly doubt once you reached the wreckage you could point and say oh yeah that’s him, not meaning to be crude).  But what was readily available was the flight plan and radar tracking, there are real flight pattern enthusiasts who track this stuff IRT online, I believe anyone can track it.  Hence average people could learn this particular helicopter crashed online via radar and then there were eye witnesses and the assumption was made Bryant was on his own chopper.  But then the confusion who else and how many.

So in LE’s defense, things just happened too fast and with the internet and social media it can be impossible to control. I do agree TMZ was out of line to break it so quickly, I think of the other families, especially the one of the girl with both her parents with her on the helicopter and the two children left behind hearing this news.   What if they were alone when they heard it?  What if they just read it online? Horrible [/quote]
