Alright then, lets look at the BBQ from a different perspective; from the EMT who was blackmailed.
How was he blackmailed?
Well, these politicans called his place of work and said they had these compromising photos of furries and because of that they were thinking of making cuts to their funding.
So why did this fur not ask for the photos in helping catch those responisble?
Was he worried about hurting our group by trying to help in the apprehension of those responsible?
If he wasn't worried about how bad it'd make the group look and instead worked it as a case of bringing bad individuals to justice then he would have forced their hand. If the politicians refused to show the evidence to witnesses that could help in the capture of the suspects and continued to simply use the ploy as a blackmail they would then be committing obstruction of justice. If they didn't have photos and were lying they would have committed slander. So either way they would have been screwed.
However, put in an unexpected situation those involved took the route of silence, trying to handle it internally instead of making a stink, where in this case making a stink would have been more preferable to our ends. They were too worried about causing drama.
