I have talked with a couple of reporters this morning. They have told me that if there is a community meeting, and a police officer is making a presentation or answering questions from neighbors, the police officer would probably feel as free now as before to talk, even if there are reporters present.
They were not sure of the answer to one scenario. Let's say there is a community meeting on some moderately hot topic. A police officer is taking questions from neighbors in the room. There are reporters present, and they start raising their hands and directing questions to the police officer. Would the police officer feel as free as before to answer the questions coming from the reporters? Or would the police officer feel she had to refer the questions to someone else? The reporters didn't know. Does anybody in City Hall know? Jay Clark Cooper TEMPORARY REMINDER: 1. David Brauer is our Issues List Bodhisattva 2.
