I will tweet the story and email it to everyone I know. I think someone posted some phone numbers, I will call them also.
It is an absolute disgrace that not one of their elected officials has the guts to call the family. A Marine, 'support the troops'. Was there ever a more empty phrase than that.
They are liars and criminals. To claim he had an ax and a knife. Thank god for the video and that they did not know about it. They put the story in the press. You would think by now the press would investigate these stories and stop taking them directly from the police.
Amy did a wonderful job of presenting this case, giving them time to tell their story and allowing his son the space to cry without pressuring him. The end of the video was so tastefully done, with so much respect which apparently he would never get had the story not been made public.
I will tweet the story to Al Sharpton and a few other TV hosts also.
Thank you for posting this. It is a truly heart-breaking story. I give his son credit for his restraint and his demeanor. He is such a far better man than all of them, the cops, the elected officials, the media put together. I hope the media now corrects that story you linked to.
Maybe some calls to them asking that they publish the facts now would be a good idea also.
The cops' names have not been released after nearly six months. Just like Scott Olsen. And Kayvan Sabhegi. The US police departments need to be thoroughly cleaned out. They are an increasing threat to the public.
