1. Emotions are part of being human. Life without them would be boring. 2. The only, the only source that reported the story originally was the "emotional" one. The facts about what happened are embedded in it. 3. The difference between the two stories, as I recall, is that time had passed and emotions had cooled. But that doesn't mean that the original rendition's bits about the actions of the police were any less reprehensible. Peace, D. Mindock
