  1. I noticed that after you printed this story and an earlier one about this shady police group, the “other” newspaper in town essentially re-wrote your story and posted it online. Does the Post get any money from them when they steal your stories? They have these ads asking the public for money saying “Support Local Journalism.” They might as well say, “Support Local Plagiarism.”
