Didn't you used to be a teacher? Jeez....I feel very sorry for your students.

Why do you think they don't release details? Genuine question.... Do you think if there's a stabbing, and they come out immediately and say its a Muslim of Asian ethnicity its going to help the situation and stop riots etc.

How about this one, do you think if the police came out and told you all the information about a suspect that could prejudice a future trial? In this train situation, one of the suspects has been released and sounds like he was maybe arrested in error.

We have due process in this country. Everyone is innocent until proven guilty. Investigations need to happen and evidence needs to be compiled.

Seriously, use your head.
