Not even the Springsteen spokes-lackey claimed that the police escort was a part of the paid detail. Even he conceded the escort, as opposed to the security during the concert, was simply a common practice--ie, a courtesy.
And, if you're so concerned about the Diallo family, tell us: Did Springsteen make a donation to the Diallo family or did he just write a sanctimonious song? And if he did make a donation why not just let it go at that? Why did this so-called working class hero feel the need to attack working class police officers (other than for a then-trendy swipe at then-mayor Guiliani)?
