As far as having a direct article to the police statement, no I don't.
How do you know the police are well aware of Wilkinson wildly exaggerating reports?

Because Van Auken said so?

If I do eventually see a police report though I'll be sure to post it
Bye bye.

Interesting how the deniers are basing everything upon the word of Van Auken and ignore the eyewitnesses and the police reaction to the event....

Hmm, that's funny... the police didn't seem to notice any racial overtones in the mob. But if you want to question the actual neighborhood newspaper's report and the councilwoman's word because it doesn't work with your agenda, that's fine too.

Perhaps because the mob ran away when the police arrived?

Wilkinson has claimed this was the 5th large mob (60-70 strong) this month of violent black youth terrorizing, threatening death upon, and assaulting the white community of Peoria Illinois. He also says smaller violent mobs (10-12 strong) of black youths do the same things several nights each week.

If that's true, where are the pictures? Where are the Facebook posts? Where are the youtube videos? It's impossible in this day and age that they wouldn't exist. In addition, where are the local news stories? Where are the police reports (those are public records).

No, I actually said I wouldn't find the police statement when you're perfectly capable of doing so.

But since you refuse to entertain the possibility that your favorite witness is embellishing the story, I probably am wasting my time arguing with you. Thanks for pointing that out. See ya.

I googled Barbara Van Auken and it looks like she is a controversial figure possibly with a drinking problem. She is on record calling other people liars when it suits her agenda. Why is she so quick to go to the media with a statement that includes an insult to her fellow council members? She doesn't sound credible at all. And I noticed she is the only Peoria offical quoted so far. Is she the official spokeswoman for the city or did other officials have enough sense not to call a constituent a liar with no proof?

Could you provide where Wilkinson stated where "black youth terrorizing, threatening death upon, and assaulting the white community of Peoria Illinois"?
Thanks.
While you are at it,could you post where he stated "smaller violent mobs of black youths do the same things several nights each week"?

Back around we go...

Are you asserting that unless it is posted on Youtube,Facebook or somewhere else,it never happened?

Well if it is public record,one fo you deniers should easily find it and can post it here.

Well...you are the one stating the police are well aware of Wilkinson fabricating stories...I just thought since that is your position you had some proof.

My mistake.

It is quite possible he is lying,but then there is equally the possibility he is not.

You seem unable to believe a mob of black youths would ever shout racial threats...for some reason known only to you.
