[EAS] Blue Alert reply comments due Tuesday, August 29

[Phil Johnson]

I won't argue with Ed's assertion about the politics of "voluntary," but I
will state (again) that BLU Alerts are of no benefit to anyone but the
politicians who want to be seen as "doing something" about attacks on police
officers.  I have yet to see the citation of a single case in which a BLU
alert would have prevented the death of or injury to a cop.

Agreed that similar same politics of "voluntary" could apply to a blue
alert.  As with CAE, would anyone want to answer why a station didn't run an
alert and then someone was harmed?
