Yesterday we all got the same Amber Alert; 10 yr/old Native American Male, Joel Takenalive.

At first I didn’t think anything of it, until several news orgs were reporting what the Amber Alert actually said, which was incorrect;

I could only find two news organizations, who probably realized that his name was spelled incorrectly in the Amber Alert, spell his name correctly; Joel Tanken Alive, you know, because he is a Native American. I wonder if Joel would have been found sooner (thank God he is safe!) if they would have spelled his name correct in the Amber Alert? And how long did it take the other news orgs to realize the spelling error?

When I hear all this talk about law enforcement cooperation, I tell people they have to be transparent with us and we will work with them. The Devil is in the Details.
