Showing Original Post only (View all)regarding Boulder shooting. [View all]
The way they handled this press conference is disgraceful. So apparently the only death that matters is that of the police officer. They did not even deign to say how many other victims.
They were lying to the press saying they dont know. It has been three hours.
Then they said they want to notify families first. That argument makes zero sense since they werent asked to name victims, just comfirm the extend of the shooting.
Its another instance were authorities are more interested in parading in front of cameras and congratule each other rather than inform people.
