How does a young man go from being a scared, sacred, and shy witness against a police officer one week and a bold, brutal, and brazen marijuana dealer the next week?

How many pot distribution centers did the men from Alexandria, Louisiana drive pass on their way to Dallas, Texas?

How could there have been a gun battle which killed one person and severely injured another one, and there is not one media report over the weekend of gun-battle injuries related to the death of Joshua Brown?

If the Dallas Police coordinated with the medical center to keep news of Mitchell’s gun wounds from the media, then why did they cover up this Saturday night shooting?

Since Mitchell was dropped off at the medical center by his partners in crime, then what information about his whereabouts could police possibly want to keep Mitchell’s buddies from knowing?

Given the fact the police had a suspect the night of the killing, why did they not release this information to the public?

The police knew that Mitchell’s buddies dropped him off at the medical center, so why did the cops pretend they did not have a clue where the blue car seen speeding away from the scene had gone?
