NC attorney general, DA to discuss public corruption

Site Search

RALEIGH, N.C. — North Carolina's attorney general and Wake County's district attorney will talk Thursday about the best way to combat public corruption.

Attorney General Roy Cooper and Wake County District Attorney Colon Willoughby will outline their legislative proposals at a 10:30 a.m. press conference in Raleigh.

Last week, Cooper called on lawmakers and the governor to reconsider recommendations he made more than six years ago that he believes will make schools safer.

They include more school resource officers; a statewide school tip line to report threats anonymously and more training for educators on recognizing potential safety threats.

Cooper said in a news release that schools have put many of the recommendations in place, including routine lockdown drills.

Actually, the story talks about THIS week, AG & DA are discussing public corruption. LAST week, (see paragraph 3) they talked about school safety. It's not "bad news and editing", per doggypoos. It's people reading the article too quickly. pageredmon

Read slowly the title of the article. Now what do you expect this article to be about? Public corruption.

Now read the article. Notice - ONE SENTENCE about corruption followed by THREE PARAGRAPHS on school safety. This is not about people reading too quickly; it is about a title that does not accurately reflect the subject of the article. English 101.

It is interesting that these 2, the NC ATTORNEY GENERAL and Wake County DA are discussing *public corruption*....only when and if those who are committing it are held accountable and responsible for what they do....will it make a difference....when there are things going on, such as people filing *false police reports* and nothing is done about this...(ONE EXAMPLE)....talking the talk does not actually make a difference....ACTION is needed....and then I have to wonder....who exactly is *overseeing that those who are supposed to be enforcing the law are actually doing what they are suppose to do*...I think we have a *never ending story here*....and nothing actually improves the situations which need to be addressed.

Two corrupt politicians working together. Good for them. Wouldnt trust either one with my garbage. The AG just steps into any case in NC and makes an excuse to dismiss the charges.

So what corruption is this story talking about. Seems to be talking about public and school safety. Problem to me is the media that allows bad news and editing.
