I noticed Jawando, Navarro, Glass or any of the rest of them couldn’t provide an actual quote of one of these “threatening” messages.

I guess we’re all just supposed to take their word for it, huh?

Police reports are public information. A journalist could ask for them. So could you.

So could you. And since I'm not the one making the claim, then the burden of doing so is yours.

So get busy, skippy.

They wouldnt need the extra security if the threats werent real.

The question really is, why did Channel 7 let Kevin Lewis run a story with no named sources, and no statement from the executive branch? It’s the executive branch that runs the police department.. sloppy, tabloid reporting.

Perhaps because the sources fear retaliation. "Whistleblower protection for me but, not for thee" perhaps? While u are at it, why don't you put your name on your post.

The police do such a great job so consistently that (shock) any grumblings from the force have merit. Plus, why would Kevin Lewis make up a story when there are many other community/individual issues he could shine a spotlight on? I understand you think Sinclair is the new Illuminati and all but, come on.

Pp here. If a council member needs protection, they should receive it. I've heard Marc Elrich's responses: he has been quick to dismiss critics' security concerns so, I actually wouldn't mind hearing his response. I am glad he is taking security seriously.
