In advance of the so-called press conference which turned into a civil disturbance, we had several police officer groups who had heard about it, ask us to post the press release from Quannel X announcing it. Their reasoning was the general public was not aware of it and would not turn out for it. These were people The Police News has regular contact with and we agreed and wanted to help get a large turn out.
So, we did and it worked. According to those groups The Police News was responsible for the large turn-out because no other news source had announced it.
And speaking of those news sources, once again I watched the area TV stations, and their on-scene reporters, give completely different versions of what actually happened. One station filmed their 'live' report several hours after it was over and everyone was gone. Yet they called it 'live from the scene'. Either they are idiots or they think we are.
Anyway, the reason for this post is just to let our readers know why we posted Ralph Quannel's press release. We receive everyone he put's out in our email and this is the first one we have ever posted. We did it for our brothers and sisters in law enforcement who asked us to.
