The rest of the article tells you nothing, readers.
Or maybe this one passage really tells you everything.
"Traub said authorities were investigating why police believed Crosby had a knife and whether he was wielding a knife when he allegedly charged at the officers."
WTF? Either he HAD a KNIFE, or he didn't?
Police "believe," but don't know "whether" he did or not?
And you couldn't have just TASERED HIM?
Or SUBDUE HIM, you big toughies?
WTF?!
So, HOW COME the NEWSWOMAN gets SPECIAL TREATMENT, huh?
"She threatened to call a news crew and put a state trooper "on TV and ruin [his] life," according to a police report. She flailed her arms and screamed at State Police when they took her into custody after her Delta flight landed that Sunday night, according to the report... and struck Trooper Gary Hodgdon in the chest, breaking the prescription glasses in his pocket.... an alcohol- and prescription drug-fueled tirade."
Oh, by the way, the Globe report?
They don't know anything, and they aren't trying to find out.
Typical!!!
Read it for yourself; I gave you the link.
