Hahaha totaly advertisement of crime family is something that none serious criminal will like it. Delete that idea.
And since we are talking about that, you have already done a connection with a criminal family without valid proofs
but, you are reporters, you can say what ever you want without give a shit.
About the rest, on my first post, I gave you a suggestion to make better your page and my "problem" about sponsorship
of LCPD was only this question, do we give our money for something usefull?
LCPD says that is about new recruitments, none ads about them. Beside that LCPD says, they want to remind people of
their existance, do you need to pay for that? First and most important, show that in the streets, do your job and keep citizents
safe, second when any newspaper or TV news says something for a scene wich LCPD is involved that is not a free advertisement?
So what is the point to pay for something that is already free? At the end, looks like they are better on psychology staff, such as, suggestions about people`s personality.
About your "pretty sure" thought, trust me I try to join LEO a long time ago before you even open your newspaper.
So tipicaly that makes the ads useless, since people was and will join them without get informed by an ad.
Last about real life news, for example in my country nothing similar happens. Is not about our countries or what so ever.
I dont have problem with the sponsorship it self, I do have problem when I see that state money are spenting without
a proper reason, thats all.
