Nov 2017

The article that appeared online in the local newspaper
http://triblive.com/local/valleynewsdispatch/

has been pulled from their site supposedly due to requests from the police department involved.
Also a similar article appearing in the Pittsburgh Post Gazette
http://www.post-gazette.com/

appears to have either been buried, renamed or pulled making it very difficult to find.

The local rumors are that the police department is pissed because of the publicity yet are not willing to accept blame. So far no action concerning the officers involved has taken place.

And people get pissed over kneeling foe the 1933 national anthem.
