Name calling and sarcasm of this variety don't work for me as I find no humor or value in them. They reek of contempt, which serves as a cover for anger and fear, two strong feelings I respect that involve vulnerability and can also include a sense of powerlessness and overwhelm. Contempt is corrosive and can destroy a person from the inside out. Anger and fear however have the ability to alert and motivate one to action, positive or negative.
According to what I've been reading,"... Patel broke from standard FBI protocol in the best possible way: against all recommendations from his own people, he demanded the immediate public release of surveillance footage showing the suspect.
That cracked the case wide open. Within hours, the bureau had released crystal-clear images of Robinson, surveillance video of his movements, and offered a substantial reward. The media blitz worked exactly as Patel intended—Robinson's own family recognized him from the footage and contacted authorities.
True or not with regard to Patel, it appears to have been the release of the images that brought about the capture.

How many times has a tip resulted in capture? Remember the Beltway Sniper?
