I am getting the story now that La Habra PD is stating that their officers did not observe the vandalism or attack on the memorial. LHPD is now stating that they are going to go after the news sources that put out the original story, and hope to get their story out.

Read my post 172. It covers my converstation with the La Habra City Manager. He returned my phone call to City Hall today.

He stated to me on the phone that no police witnissed the incident! He asserted that the police were not on the scene, and were only notified after the fact. He also stated that a report has been taken, but barring witnisses he did not hold out much hope for a prosocution. This seems to conflict with something else he told me, which was that if the police had gone in to break up the protest there would have been a 180 degree turn in how the article was written, and it would have made the police look like bad guys. Of course, one has to wonder if the police weren't there then how could they have "gone in" and broken up the the protest? He also reiterated what Captain Reese said about the owner of the fence having to file a complaint in order for the police to take any action. Again, this seemed to conflict with his assertion that no police were present.

Definitely some discrepancies here. They told me that they were outraged over the national press reports which he denied, and that they were hoping to get out their side of the story by tomorrow, as they have been inundated by hundreds of nasty calls and emails....
