Personal attacks mean nothing here. It takes us nowhere towards the point of the matter.

We don't know who these officers were, if there were any at all. The estimate given was originally while the crowd was still arriving. The "update" has no time line, so no one knows when these officers were asked or how the "three" of them all came up with the same answer, though no official count ever took place.

IMO, a guess by "three" officers sounds much more honest than an opinion of "one officer" asked. Whether these questions ever happened or not is a mystery, But as a direct eyewitness, I can tell you for a fact that it was easily 10,000 and 4,000 is a lazy early estimate or a complete falsehood.

Lastly, I know you're not interested in the truth anyway. But I'll post the facts and allow you to feel free to attack me, and believe a lefty web site instead.
