Wasn't even their call to make though, was it? The PD may have requested it (though it's not actually clear to me from what I'm reading whether that was actually the case or not), but it's the FAA that made the decision.
On witnesses, I heard on the radio... Saturday night, I think (but it may have been a rebroadcast) that they already had three people with some pretty damning testimony. They also mentioned some ballistic testing that was being done, which sounds like it could be pretty significant. If what they claimed happened in the car can be proven not to have happened, it's going to pretty much kill any credibility the Ferguson PD have left.*
