The police actions are the bigger outrage for sure. But whoever wrote those emails isn’t someone who I’d give the benefit of the doubt about what was said that day, like supposed police references to Hoyt or Kearns, or other supposed threats the police made.

“Buffalo, NY – A top official in Buffalo’s Mayoral Administration has confidentially and anonymously disclosed a series of emails, and text messages, between (name redacted) and a local journalist.”

The phrase “a series of emails” is an unusual description. Not unheard of, but unusual.

Let’s look at http://www.sail-it.net and see if “a series of” is a favorite expression.

Well, well, here we have “a series of tools”, “a series of questions”, “a series of topics”. And in the press release, we had a “series of emails”. What a series of coincidences!

(1.) The unusual use of capitalized first letters of many messages by BOTH people chatting, the “adminsitration official” and the “journalist”. How many people IM that way? We’re to beleive both of these guys do?

11:15 AM (admin official name redacted) There is my stud, hey wife and kids are gone for the night wanna go all the way for the entire night?
11:16 AM (journalist name redacted) Yeah but my wife will wonder were I am

Nice capitalizing of There and Yeah.

More:

9:28 AM (journalist name redacted) Just not feel comfortable in threesomes
9:29 AM (journalist name redacted) Could it be just the two of us?
9:30 AM (journalist name redacted) She can watch if she likes
11:12 AM (admin official name redacted) Greenbacks your career no will ever know
12:19 PM (admin official name redacted) Just tell her that you have to overtime on big case
12:48 PM (journalist name redacted) Ok see you late tonight

(2.) Both people in the chats also liked to spell out numbers

(admin official name redacted) man you enjoyed it for two years
(journalist name redacted) Just not feel comfortable in threesomes.

Not 2 and 3, but two and three. Interesting IM chatting style they “both” have.
