So this is a screenshot of the Pittsburgh P.D. email.
This is a clarification of Cmdr Joseph's email.
“The Pittsburgh Bureau of Police receives information daily that we evaluate and prepare for if the event should occur. Events can include anything from extreme weather to potential demonstrations,”
“Often the events we prepare for do not occur. However, through an abundance of caution, we attempt to adequately prepare for an appropriate response,” he continued. “We receive information regularly about potential events and/or threats, assess the credibility of the information and plan for a potential event. In this case, we have not assessed the credibility of the potential for disturbances, and we do not have any knowledge of the President’s decision-making process.”
-Pittsburgh Public Safety Director Wendell Hissrich.
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette termed Joseph's email "alarming"--ACCURATELY. It was...inartfully drafted by Cmdr Joseph. "We have received information...There is a belief..." It sure sounds like the belief that Trump is about to fire Mueller imminently is based on "information" the police department "received," especially when the "There is a belief" part is given its own paragraph! Read differently however and in conjunction with Director Hissrich's clarification Joseph's "There is a belief" refers to the protesters, "There is a belief" among the protesters. I can't really fault Joseph. Stylistically, the email was inartful.
