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.

I'm not a Blue Lives matter person but honestly...TMZ posted on social media an hour after the crash. If it took LAPD 10-15 minutes tops to get to the crash site, another 5 minutes to rapel down from helicopters to the victims on the hillside (which they did), and then another 10 minutes to get the county morgue on site for positive ID...how the hell are they supposed to get an hour's drive away to Kobe Bryant's house (hopefully Vanessa was home), sit her down and make the notification?

Time travel hasn't been invented yet folks.

TMZ wanted the scoop, they got it. But the LAPD aren't wrong for criticisming them. It's not just the Bryants who found out that a husband and father died this way - its all the passengers in the helicopter with kids of their own, its extended family across the country, and other loved ones.[/quote]

You think cops identify victims by their bodies on the scene?  :roll:

You really need to rethink your argument.

Maybe Twitter should not allow death reports which is where family and friends actually heard it first.

Please enlighten me. How would you want to identify a burned body and notify family an hour's drive away in under an hour?

Dental records take time to pull.

Tail flight number and aviation records (with passenger manifests) would involve not only the LAPD but the NTSB and LA County airport officials.

There is no way to get those positive IDs and then race over to someone's house (assuming the spouse isn't at work or at a baby appointment or traveling) in under an hour.

What if the LAPD did and got it wrong? Said one daughter was dead when in fact it was the other? Or only confirmed the 'famous' passenger but waited to notify the other family until hours later?[/quote]
