In an attempt to ease media relations, the St Louis Academy and Municipal Police Academy will offer a class called "Officer-Involved Shooting: You Can Win with the Media." Bob talks with the instructor, Rick Rosenthal, a former broadcast journalist and president of RAR Communications, about his plans to ease tensions between law enforcement and the media.

I'm curious to know if the police are offering a class on how to not abuse protesters?
Is Bob Garfield so caught up in The police are all villains mentality that he cannot see the constraints that they have on releasing information to the press? His questions and Rick Rosenthals answers could have done a much better job illustrating this so that those listening could understand rather than reinforcing the stereotypes that police are subhuman evil.
