my .02 on that would be to change that if there aren't officers lined up already to speak. If there is thats great, but I think that would change the whole aspect of it to alot of people in the media-- Don't want to false advertise.

Does anyone proofread this stuff? I am hoping to make it and say a few words, but it is the wife's birthday and try as I might, I have not yet found a way to skate for a few hours.....

[TaurusGuy]

I will most likely be there...unless something happens during the day, I am there.

I wish I could make it, but I'm stuck in Kalifornia until Thursday night!

I've sent David Codrea an update, as he requested to know when this was happening. I hope it's OK that I sent him a link to this thread.

I parse the sentence as follows:

by Dickson City, PA, police officers))

plan to register their concerns

to the Dickson City Borough Council

on Tuesday, May 13, at 7PM...

By chance, is there anyone from Lancaster County or surrounding counties that are planning to drive up? Please PM me if you do! Thanks!

Did the same person who wrote the sieg heil one write this one? At some point, if anyone wants this issue taken seriously, someone is going to need to proofread these press releases instead of throwing out the first things that pop into their heads. The grammar stinks. The comma goes after the word officers, and complaints are registered with someone, not to someone. The constant Nazi and communist references are better left in the sixties. Say they violated laws, and illegally arrested citizens. Say they acted criminally. But the Nazi, jack boot, Gestapo references make all involved look like radical hippies who are not to be taken seriously. Seriously. The enthusiasm is great, but the delivery is doing more harm than good.

I WILL be in attendance but I am very local and will be shooting over right after work.

Did anybody make sure the press and news media is coming? Did you get put on the agenda? Times for non agenda public comment can be legally limited to x number of minutes per person so be organized.

I don't believe it's officially on the agenda, but they are aware that people are coming. Prepared statements will be brief and to the point. Be prepared to stand and show your support of those speaking when asked by them to do so.
