Bad PR
Knoxville Police Department spokesman Darrell DeBusk:
We do not respond to blog postings. If we were to respond to blogs we would need to create a new position just to keep up with all of the comments. Legitimate questions posed to the department by our citizens will be answered. Responding to opinions and computer chatter will not change perceptions or opinions.
Seems they don’t like being asked about their status as tax collectors. After all, we know they’ve responded to blog postings in the past involving their police officer body-slamming a guy because the officer thought he was in Ohio.
