So many people are missing the point or are lying and pretending to miss the point.

It's not about releasing the manifesto.

It's about lying about the motive. The calls for the manifesto came up as a direct result of the police claiming no motive. There were obviously four major things involved: transgenderism, Christianity, children, and White people. There was reason to suspect that there was maybe at least one thing involved.

But "no official motive, killer just happened to be trans lol" was their official answer (Had it been a male rightwing/trump supporter white shooter killing black kids or gay kids, that Manifesto would have been leaked within days, and the media would have eaten it up).

We now know that they knew the motive (or at least part of one) and now the question is why they refused to acknowledge it. Given the motive this literally validates right wing opinion (one of them) and it also suggests that the systems of authority are all in collaboration with supporting that motive... Otherwise they'd have not covered it up.

The weird thing to me is that police in the US tend to lean conservative and right wing. The entire concept of hierarchical authority (ie military or police) is right wing by definition and this is Tennessee. The idea of a crazy transgender anti-white child murder being protected by the police doesn't make any sense unless they are agreeing to follow the orders of a liberal political bureaucrat and the leak of the documents is the police response to being forced to cover it up.

If makes sense if you realise that for the last couple of decades the best way to get promoted in the police is to spout the correct woke nonsense and PC platitudes. The ordinary cops might be right wing but pretty much all the management act left wing (even if they privately aren't).

It's absurd to call any police department "left wing". Perhaps Liberal but that isn't leftist.

“Agreeing to follow the orders of a liberal political bureaucrat”

Aka the people who sign the cops’ paychecks. Most cops might have their own beliefs, but not many are willing to risk their jobs, pensions, and in some cases, freedom, to go against the what they are being told to do.

I also suspect that the, ahem, “request” to not release this document came from someone at the federal level and it filtered down from there.
