Spokespeople
Watching the news lately one can't help but notice with the type of stories that are being aired, that there is an abundant number of spokespeople that have no clue what is going on. In particular an officer acting as a spokesperson during a high speed pursuit cannot confirm anything about the pursuit, the suspect, or the events leading up to the chase, all he can say is "i have no information"....what is your job? Is it not to provide information to the public in hopes of helping ensure their safety as well as satisfying our nosy/curious natures? I thought so, in fact, I assumed that was part of the description of the job. But you know what they say about assuming things...
What happened to happy news?? We have fires, dead bodies in pools, suicidal car chases, but nothing about furry animals (happy news...not of them being beaten or killed) or some outstanding citizen or young adult.
"it's the mother f---ing times" for sure that can explain this I suppose. but is that in no way an excuse to be slacking on your job if you are hired to provide information to the public.
