For weeks after the girls parents came forward, he again pleaded to the other partygoers to come forward with information about the possible sexual assault. Only one did, he said.
Everybody on those Web sites kept saying stuff that wasnt true and saying, why wasnt this person arrested, why arent the police doing anything about it, he said. Everybody wanted to incriminate more of the football players, some because some of the other schools in the area are simply jealous of Big Red.

That was simply because people were asking why more of the athletes involved were not charged. Those involved posted videos, tweets, FB posts, and pictures themselves and ADMITTED their involvement. You can try to defend all you want, but the more the people involved in the crime speak, the more they show their guilt and in the case of a police chief who would make such a comment as that one above, extreme bias against the victim.
They all need to recuse themselves and let the Feds do the investigation...if all the evidence hasn't already been hidden. I know Anonymous has found an reposted some information for safe keeping online before it gets scrubbed. There is plenty of evidence freely available.
