Naming the Capitol Cop Who Killed Unarmed Jan. 6 Rioter Ashli Babbitt | | bhpioneer.com: Most police departments — including Washington, D.C.’s Metropolitan Police — are required to release an officer’s name within days of a fatal shooting.

It can keep the public in the dark about the identity and investigation of an officer involved in a shooting indefinitely.
