Excuse me. I didn't know you were THE authority on why LE authorities hold press conferences to thank each other.
They needed to give kudos to those who assisted them.
IF -- repeat, if -- they need to do so, it can be done privately or through a press release. They don't need to grandstand in front of mics.
I didn't claim to be THE authority on anything. I said "I have already addressed this", because your statement was in a response to one of my posts. Sorry for the misunderstanding.
