With respect, none of us 'regular citizens' have any idea whatsoever whether or not MS has thanked law enf.' for their efforts; the only ones who know that answer would be the ENTIRE group (each & every single one) of ALL law enf.' officers with whom MS has communicated (& anyone each of those many individuals may have then told).
With respect, I have seen zero evidence of MS being 'rude'. I saw video of MS trying to get out of his home with his 2 little daughters to walk the 2 dogs down the street. And I saw video of MS being aggressively approached by some reporter (MS had the trash bags, perhaps wearing a stethoscope and, or headphones...). I do NOT find anyone who steers clear of the press to be 'rude': On the contrary, I find such conduct shows KEEN SANITY!! (&, furthermore, in this case, MS has stated he is being relentlessly 'stalked', pursued, 'followed', by press, at least at the office site - I have no 1sthand knowledge, but do not have reason to think MS lied when he wrote that to the patients...)
The only time I can conceive when it would make sense for a 'regular' person to want to go b4 cameras would be, say, if a missing person/child, killer or kidnapper, etc., needs to be found & loved ones want to try to help publicize the need. In this case, we know that law enf.' was 'on' to CWW & JR very, very soon, so no need whatsoever for MS to go on camera.
MS asking on G@F@ndM@ for $1MM in donations on day one after the terrible murder of Teresa, I wouldn't label that 'rude' on MS' part; rather, adjectives such as bizarre, wierd, highly-suspicious enter my mind...
