One reporter asked a two part question, first was dumb, 2nd was specifically if the responding officers had long rifles. Evans weaseled around that very rehearsed.
I've noticed over the years that if you have 20 reporters asking questions you'll get about 8 really good and relevant questions; 7 that are totally STUPID; 9 that are a question (good or bad) already asked/answered; 12 that have received a "We can't answer that at this time" already and at least one where the reporter asks, "And WHO are YOU wearing?"
Yeah, I made up those numbers, but watch a few news briefings and you'll see this shit happen EVERY time.

and the media sometimes can't seem to understand why we cannot STAND them.

except Paula Ebben. She's a Goddess who can do NO wrong, EVER! Any stupid question SHE asks gets a pass!
