hmmm, now, what to wear.....

I know what you mean Mtbkski (why the hell did you pick a username that is so difficult to spell, anyway)?

Should I wear a Glock? Perhaps a pair of Glocks? Nah, too gaudy. Perhaps an XD9 and a couple pocket pistols?

Damn, I'll be up all night trying on different rigs....

Best part is you're buying the ice cream! Oh, did I mention that earlier?

If you can go Pennsy let me know. I am planning on going. Anyone else in the Allentown area PM me. I have a four door PU can seat five comfortably.

I'd be glad to ride up with you again! I don't know if Emily will be up for it, but she probably will be. We included her trip to DC in her homeschool portfolio as a field trip and civics lesson.

I'm working that night. Maybe next time.

So far WBPD has hid the incident report behind the "ongoing investigation" claim. Since they will not tell the aggrieved citizen what crime he is being "investigated" for having committed it makes the PD look as if they are covering up something.

Regardless of the status of the "ongoing investigation", isn't the PD still required to provide such information on request as per Right To Know? IMHO it's not necessary to convince the WBPD that it's in their "best interest" to provide this information. Rather, they should be politely reminded that if they don't provide the information on request, they will be committing a crime.

No, they are not required to provide info about an investigation.

The issue is that WBPD is obviously covering up their indescretion by claiming a simple incident report is an "investigation". We all know there is nothing to investigate so that claim is simply BS.

They need to take their lumps and release the report as the repercussions to their acts on the incident scene are out shadowed by them lying about it being an investigation to cover their ass.
I should have written that more clearly.

[Pa. Patriot]

Anyone wanting to speak please PM me. Any one is free to speak, but we want to coordinate the speakers as well. No sense in 40 people saying the same thing over and over again that could be covered by 3 or 4 speakers.

OP updated to reflect this.

Got it, thanks for the clarification.

Well I just got word that my class is a definite go, so I will be teaching that night. I guess I shouldn't complain as business is real good right now, but this is one of those times where I would really like to be at the meeting.
