The police have the right to publish the story. Why are the mute about the subject? Is it because they do not want to share their side of the story? If they had one shred of evidence that they could stretch to some vague charge, they would have made the charge and then held a public conference to show how they got guns off the street. And we now know why the police are not sharing their side of the story (it is not flattering to them).
Even if it is a miniscule part of the LEO's responsibilities, it is a part of his/her responsibilities. There is no excuse for either not knowing or not finding out immediately and immediately rectifying the situation (without putting the real victims through the ringer).

Wrong. Someone was arrested (cuffed and stuffed would be arrested). Not charged, because there were no charges to be able to drum up. How about the person cuffed and stuffed? I would say he is worse for wear. How about the husband who had his firearm taken from him? And not returned to him (but his wife)?

That's what you want people to believe. You are flat out wrong here.
Pennsylvania citizens are peacefully asserting their 2A rights. And it is an uphill battle because most do not know the 2A laws (including police). And the asserting of their rights inconveniences the police. The police then push beyond their legal authority.
This will unfold the way things did in VA. It is a story, it will be a story and hopefully it will have a good ending where the majority in PA people and all the LEO in PA are aware of our rights and where the relationship between LEO and non-LEO in PA improves.
