When PC trumps public safety

Folks in Utah were really confused during the manhunt for Collin aka Mia Bailey after he killed his parents.

Everything that went out from the police regarding this person referred to him as ‘she’ and by Mia rather than Collin.  So the people in and around Washington City, UT were on the lookout for a female.

A shelter in place order was issued by police due to the ensuing manhunt, with police telling Washington City residents that they were on the look out for a woman who was “armed and dangerous.” 

After Bailey was apprehended, a resident who lived near to the Bailey home sent a text message to Utah pundit, Eric Moutsos, saying, “Now our family did know he was a man, but some families in the neighborhood thought a woman was on the loose.” The resident said that “One woman was taking a walk this morning and saw this guy walking in between some lots but just thought it was some random guy. Not looking for a guy, she said nothing to the authorities.”  

So if this mentally ill person had hurt or killed someone else, it would have been on the heads of the police for putting our erroneous information designed to protect the precious feelings of a murderer instead of protecting the populace. 

 



  1. “So if this mentally ill person had hurt or killed someone else”That's OK, as long as it's feelings are not hurt.

  2. The fuzz intentionally issuing erroneous identification happens. Two instances that I personally know about, one directly involving me.Those instances were intentional lies to avoid admitting they had made gross errors.This time is for a different reason. But it all adds up that they lie, on purpose, even if jeopardizing public safety.

  3. Heck—Really doesn’t make sense, does it?Rick—Yeah, they’ve definitely integrated the CYA into their world. Lies are lies and in this case, why bother to tell the residents anything if all they are going to tell them is bad info?
