They were not kicked out before the presser
BUT the presser was only announced by tweet one hour before it happened.
aLSO a subsequent tweet by LVPD said there would be no admissions without press credentials and they would be inspected.
But far as I know, everybody who was there on time, a lot were not because of the short notice, were actually allowed inside.
Then they closed the door.
They chucked some people after the presser okay, people who had missed it and people who were dawdling and they refused CNN permission for an interview in the press room immediately after the event even though they had all their cameras set up from earlier, presumably, and had their press credentials in place.
It was an unecessary and hostile step to take- clearly seeing all journalists as the enemy.
Playing hardball from start to finish will not warm the public towards helping them.
They're taking it all so personally..its unprofessional of them, at least and wont endear them to the public that pays their salaries, a fact they too frequently forget. In every country.
imo
all behavior has meaning!!
It is the biggest mass murder in the nation
That big story
The world is watching -- and they call a presser in an hour -- come on now
I have seen video of a cop outside the presser before it starting being really nasty kicking people out .
But is was like someone filming it from there tv so I could not tell what outlet it was being aired on. The crawl on the bottom was hard to make out .
I will link it if I can find a way to find out which outlet it was on. It did look like a local tv outlet
As a taxpayer I feel ripped off.
According to officials there are 100's involved in trying to find the "truth"
72 hours had passed since they suddenly yelled presser in 60............no questions
and then they say nothing new
no from employer view ! We pay them.
In private sector of we had 100's of people on our payroll and in 72 hours they do nothing -- I might consider ...............
then we have to ask ourselves what is the purpose a press conference.
My sense is its to answer the medias questions about an event.
Yesterday was like saying your having a BBQ but you bring nothing to eat
kinda effed up IMO- they pulled it on a Friday - so it airs on the east coast late on a Friday afternoon .
They then get 48 hours further away from the story . Its a game. And typically it works ..........
there letting it fade out -- it will go down in history as this lone shooter
Any pressers for next week announced?
I did not think so ..........................
