So let's look at it from a different perspective. Let's say the media posts a picture of suspect. This person is innocent, but shows up in a video and the police want to talk to them. The picture goes out and someone decides to take matters into their own hands and attacks this person. Perhaps even kills this person?

I know this doesn't happen often, but it has in the past. Hell, just accidentally suggesting that someone is a suspect can ruin their lives.

Yes, posting the pictures can help and in some cases maybe it is a good idea, but I can surely understand why they would not want to publicize the pictures.
