Wauwatosa brawl prosecution

The Wauwatosa (WI) brawl between a black male and a pair of whites, one a lesbian and the other a transgendered male has reached the prosecution phase, following the arrest of the suspect some time ago.
It took police awhile to find the guy because he used somebody else's car.

This news update vindicates portions of my earlier analysis, as I had noted that the transgendered chap lobbed a chair at the suspect from about 10 feet away at one point.

Man could plead guilty in George Webb's brawl

Wauwatosa - The suspect in last year's brawl at a George Webb's over homosexuality and gay marriage could plead guilty as early as next month.

Jason Graham of the 4800 block of N. Sherman Blvd. was arrested late last year on felony charges of battery and bail jumping in connection with the early morning brawl Sept. 24 at the Webb's at 6108 W. Blue Mound Road.

He is tentatively scheduled to plead guilty March 20, according to court records.

Graham, 26, is accused of assaulting two men - one gay, one transgender - when a discussion on gay marriage widened to include other patrons.

The Milwaukee County district attorney's office recommended that one of the assaulted men be ticketed for disorderly conduct, but no ticket had been filed as of Monday, said Milwaukee County Sheriff's Office spokeswoman Kim Brooks. Wauwatosa police declined to ticket him.

I wonder why they declined to ticket him? I don't mean that sarcastically or anything. He behaved very aggressively during the incident, moving very quickly to confront the suspect/protect the lesbian (however you wish to view it). Their combined behavior undoubtedly helped ignite the violence.
Quite possibly, the Wauwatosa police didn't want to deal with a negative publicity campaign by Gay/Lesbian groups in Wisconsin.

Come to think of it, this report differs from earlier reports. The persons assaulted were a lesbian and a transgendered person.
Was the bad reporting early or late? Or did the lesbian opt to become a guy and the other dude wasn't transgendered, as was reported early in the development of the story?

Why is bad journalism so commonplace?
