Only skimmed through a bit so far.

This is from page 62:
Paterno did not immediately report what McQueary told him, explaining that he did not want to interfere with anyone’s weekend.

I see you posting all these anti-police threads and now you are complaining that JoePa didn't go to those same police. Guess it's easy to do in Obama's America, a place where you can take the popular side when it's convenient :jack:

But I agee with you on the fact that JoePa should have went to the police immediately.

One of the people he first notified was the university VP who had direct oversight of the Penn State Police Dept.

He did the right thing initially, from both a legal and moral perspective. It wasn't until the matter got into the hand of Curley, Schultz and Spanier that there was a coverup.

Yeah I noticed that too. Sometimes I think SK is just a bot program.

I haven't been complaining on this board about JoePa not going to the police but as a general matter I don't think it's inconsistent to complain about the police and at the same time say that there are cases in which something should be reported to the police.

I view the police as a necessary evil. But they are necessary. And there are obviously cases in which it's good to report something to them.

Like if some kid was kidnapped and you saw the kid with the kidnapper staying in a hotel, obviously it'd be good to report that to the police even if you can think of plenty of instances in which the police acted in manner that you don't approve of.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?
