"If we put it this way, the police department will not only be free of blame but will also be credited. But will people believe it?" Ed asked.
"Whether they believe it or not depends on what you say. Gather the reporters and hold a press conference to announce tonight's results. Make sure everyone is on the same page and doesn't report recklessly. Tell the reporters that this is the truth of tonight's events, and any false reports will be subject to accountability by the Los Angeles Police Department."
Ed nodded vigorously.
"Yes, yes, we can't let them write whatever they want. We must have a unified story. As long as public opinion is on our side, the public won't doubt it."
When Ed got out of the car, his previously worried face was now filled with excitement.
If this worked out, it would be a huge achievement.
As for the truth, it didn't matter at all.
