Pro tip: I started cross-checking local news with police scanners during a big event last month
There was a protest downtown that got really big, and the news said it was a small crowd. I had my scanner app on and heard way more calls for backup than they reported. So I looked at live streams from people who were actually there, and the crowd was huge. The official story just didn't match up with what I was hearing and seeing. Has anyone else caught a gap like that between the official line and the raw feed?

The LAPD scanner feed during that big 2020 protest was an eye opener. They called in 50 units for a "small group" at 3rd and Broadway, but I saw video of a crowd that stretched three blocks. It's like they were reporting on a completely different city. I guess official spin just means "we're telling you what we want you to know, not what's actually happening.
