Just the bare minimum of local reporting on this brutal attack. The perp was caught on film but is still at large. Why did the police wait until a month after the fact to release the surveillance video?

I dunno either. The news lady said the story wasn't reported until now because the victim was in intensive care and hurt too badly to speak. I have no idea why the cops didn't release the video for a month. Kinda seems like they don't care too much about catching the guy.

They do this where I live too. They release the video months after the crime and ask for the public's help. Prior to that, they treat the local media like a hot case of herpes.

I have no respect for someone who hurts people who can't even defend themselves. This older man couldn't do anything.. he didn't stand a chance.

Then perp walks away like he's a bonafide bad azz.
Psh..

I hope somebody does catch him. He needs to be locked up.

OK... being serious now
There are legitimate investigative reasons not to release the tape at times
Some of those include;
Protecting the victim
Working other leads
Not releasing information that may be needed to investigate other crimes committed by the suspect
Not releasing elements of the crime that the suspect can later refute by knowing what the state knows blow by blow ...

There's more .. but the above are some basic reasons

In this case the police have a video clearly showing the guy walking past a Walmart in broad daylight, charging at the victim and almost killing him with one punch. They have a closeup showing his face. But apparently, one month later, they still have no idea who he is. It's hard to believe they've done much investigating.

Maybe you're right, they haven't done much investigating. otoh, maybe they didn't want the attacker to know he was on video, to prevent him from fleeing the area, and released the video when their leads went cold.
