At the risk of sounding like a micro-manager, I'd like to bring up a few more points.... I want to make sure the police will get the results they need in good time.... [Please, I hope they will!? And it seems that often some detectives, or somebody, has been investigating?]
The police could benefit from talking to a news source about the university professors, I believe.... [Like how much to pay, for one thing.] But the English teachers/professors aren't usually the ones who comment on the news, I don't think? And there are many kinds of English courses.... We need a teacher of "English Literature," or "American Literature," especially from 1817-1862, when Thoreau was alive.... Myself, I'm not familiar with the large, public universities--only the small, private ones--but I'll tell the best I know.... The police could contact the head of the English department and ask for a referral to a few teachers...that is, if the head didn't want to serve them directly...?
The high schools are just finishing up their year now; and I don't know about the universities...? Some professors might be teaching in the summer, and some might be away on holiday? But I expect that someone should be available?
Some of the universities were already supporting the special police project, as far as I know, but I don't know who the contact people were? Don't know if the police would like to speak to the English teachers at these schools, or somewhere else...? Whatever works for them? Anyway, if the police could get some basic information to start with...then they could continue further if they actually want someone to help with the press conference? Again, whatever works...?
Thoreau advocated resisting the civil authorities in some cases...and in our case, the police and their friends wanted to resist the laws that used to govern the LGBTQ+ people.... The police, directly or indirectly, also detained me by questionable methods which may or may not have been legal...? They wanted to detain me so that I could help with their cause, as I've mentioned many times.... And I wasn't the only one working...the police did a lot of work, themselves.... But I've helped. And my involvement is in question.... [They want to have a credible story that can be told to the public.... And I'm saying Mr. Thoreau's suggestions should be plenty credible....]
For the record, there's also "The Thoreau Society" posted on the Internet.... But I highly recommend speaking to a university professor, if possible; or to a high school teacher to start with, if it's easier to make a connection? Any English teacher might know SOMETHING about Thoreau, but try to find one whose field of expertise covers Thoreau...?
