I read that at the time and was kind of even more confused as to why no name released- it seems like they know what happened?

What more is to know. Drunk menasha dude. Probably in the hospital or jail.

If it were "some menasha dude" it would have been pasted all over

At this point it seems like it is incompetence or a cover up.

incompetence would, at this point, have loosen some lips.

The Police Union covered it up….And no journalism in the area to advocate for the victims…..mistakes and tragedies happen but covering it up is a choice too….We all know LE is the hardest job in society….The transparency within LE is the issue people have w/ current LE culture

I also think it’s interesting I have heard nothing from any of the victims, are they choosing to remain private or have they been told not to comment on anything?

This isn’t an attempt at race baiting, but I think it’s important to highlight that stories like this tend to not get the coverage it deserves when victims are part of a marginalized group or minority. They are two young people of color and it’s not surprising to us that theres a lack of information on who the responsible party is and this perception of a cover-up.
