Missing words
Listening to the press conf by the Phoenix police on catching the two serial killers. I haven't heard even one utterance of the word "alleged" or any of its weasely cousins. The chief stated "We've caught these two monsters". Not the usual shit: "We've allegedly caught two alleged individuals who must, of course, be presumed innocent as the Constitution requires." (Of course it doesn't; that concept is nowhere in the Constitution.)
Refreshing.
Nearly all police announcements are aimed more at pleasing the Anti-Civilization Lawyers Union than informing the citizens. These Phoenix folks are focusing on telling the citizens what they need to know. ¶ 10:20 AM
